if you don't happen to have about 10000 euro\dollars to spend on the best drum set, mics and console i the best solution for you is to buy electronic drums and connect them to a computer rigged with BFD2.
if you ever do that i have a customized set with great sound i can send you

Yeah, and sound like everybody else in the history of everything.
No, if you have the opportunity to record real drums, go for it dude. It's hard work but its well worth it in the end, imo.
If I bought triggers does anyone have suggestions for those? And I'd still need overheads for the cymbals right?

the roland ones have been getting some good reviews, but the ddrum (not redshots!) are pretty much the industry standard.

I have had problems with these breaking and so have a lot of other people on here. I'd recommend the rolands or there have several people to rig up some "no name" triggers I can't remember the name hopefully someone here that has them will chime in

Arg. I hate decisions. I could save a $100 and some trouble if I go with triggers but I was planning on using the sm57s that would come with the mic kit I was planning on buying to double as vocal and instrument mics when I record other tracks. Can someone tell me the best route?
And wouldn't the overheads pick up the drums, so the acoustic track would blend with triggered and might just end up a weird mess of pitches?

typically you highpass the overheads which cuts out all the beef from the drum kit and just picks up the cymbals... at most you get "tapping" sounds that can be heard in the overheads (that aren't audible in a full mix after you have sample replaced), the only problem you'll run into is if you are doing heavy quantizing and moving hits around sometimes you might have to duck the overheads to make sure you don't hear the old hits
