Second time recording a full band (our own) and took some time (trying to) make the drums sound best with what we have. Kit is a Peal Export, not sure of exact dimensions and all that...but if you guys could give me a few pointers on this that'd be awesome.

Mics were:
SM57 on snare top and 3 toms
Beta 52 on kick
SM58 on snare bottom
C02 condensers
Pardon the rough mix, just did it quick here off a shitty computer speaker and this track is just the drummer jamming by himself while I was setting levels. Some reverb on snares and H/L Pass on about everything except toms. Slight eq on kick and snare. Thinking about blending a sample with the kick...but that's sorta new to me. I also (tried to) parallel compressed. Any feedback is welcome.
