Someone on this forum said that it is not totally necessary to have any gear at all to track a demo for a band. I take it to mean gear as in a bunch of guitar amps. However, if I was going to maybe try a mobile recording gig, do I need to ask the band to provide things like microphones and stuff for drumkits?
I'm going to buy a Presonus Firepod pretty soon, but I only have 3 dynamic mics and a condenser at the moment and I am thinking I need at least 6 to really mic up a kit. However, I don't have a kick drum mic or specialized overhead mics. Is this something a band should have?
I would plan on just replacing the kick anyway with triggering, and maybe even the snare if I couldn't get a beefy enough sound. How difficult is it to use one mic for like 3 toms and use triggering to replace each?
Thanks for the input!
