Well, good news. Went to the post office and the mic was just sitting there (for two weeks; no idea why they didn't deliver it).
So should be able to track drums this weekend hopefully. Just need to sort out acoustics which hopefully I'll be able to do tomorrow then track on Sunday or Monday.
edit: wow this kick mic is fucking awesome.
Here are some clips I just recorded now. Kick mic was just thrown up in the hole and not moved. EQ is only a boost at 50hz and a cut at 100hz of like 3db, and a tiny bit of compression.
I don't think I'll actually change my room's acoustics. I've got the room mic sounding REALLY nice now, and I don't want to fuck it up. Plus I'm lazy and won't get around to it.
So here are some (mixed) clips, dry (no room) and roomy. No sample replacement (toms will be samples in final thing, I don't have mics for them). Snare will improve quite a bit I hope, with some nice ring. This head is 6 months old and has a fucking HUGE dent in the middle, so I have to muffle it quite a bit. I have a new one but I haven't put it on yet. Might even get to track drums tomorrow

mic setup (and the raw files you'll be getting):
Snare: 57 on top. I might put a mic on the bottom but it sounds so shit. Its either one that sounds like its underwater or one thats REALLY distorted. The latter might not be too bad for some white noise. But I don't think I have any mic stands left.
Kick: e902
OHs: PG81's
Ride/Hats/Room: K-Micros. They all distort but it adds 'character' or something. Doesn't sound TOO bad and its better than not having anything in these spots.
