Hey guys, I'll be looking to get a new drumkit shortly, and it's job (apart from being fun times for me!) will be recording.
However, I'm not in the position to go lashing out on pro studio drums + a bunch of good mics and related gear to get good real drums to 'tape'.
So the idea I have in mind is to trigger/sound replace all the actual drum sounds of whatever cheaper kit I get.
But that still leaves the question of cymbals.. I still need a reasonable array.. both for my ears and to record.
So.. I thought I'd ask what your thoughts are from the recording experience?
Eg... Any particular brands or lines that never worked for you in the mix?
Do you think very expensive cymbals warrant their price from this perspective?
Ever got a good sound from relatively cheap cymbals. etc
