What kind of recording device to I need to hook the mics into? I have never really looked into recording drums...

You could use any mixer/interface with multiple XRL inputs. To record each input as a separate track (which you will want to do to get a better quality drum recording), you'll want a USB or firewire interface. For a cheap multitrack recording program, you can look into Reaper, and some interfaces even come with their own programs. I hope this helps! Best of luck.

I use a Tascam US-1800 interface into my laptop, with REAPER recording software.

Run a dedicated Mic preamp to the stage. If you don't want to be that obvious and/or need to be Surreptitious about your recording. It'll be an audiophile clink and cough-a-thon. But look on the bright side, 30 years ago, Harry Pearson wandered aloud about the subways going underneath Kingsway Hall and the world of Hi-Fi was never the same........

Just the mic. I use XLR cables and use two of them to mic cymbals on a drum set.

You may also want to get a stand for the snare mic to avoid distortion issues if recording!

You will need something with XLR inputs, either a camera or a digital field recorder. I use a Tascam DR-40. It will also need phantom power, which means it needs to be powered by whatever it is plugged into.

You need a receiver for each microphone + a recorder that can record separate tracks for each.

George, there are a number of apps that record multiple tracks.... It should work just fine. Are you going to mic your drums? You can likely only record one track at a time. If you are doing midi you should be able to record multiple tracks at a time but again that will depend on the app you choose.

I would suggest that you can get a small headphone amp which would allow you to adjust the volume on your headphone and also has enough plug ins for friends if the want to get into the jam with you!! Our drummer loves these headphones!!

Yes you do. It would not be recommended to clip the Mic to the bass drum. They are small. There are real cheap, high-quality bass drum Mic stands. Hope this answers your question. Happy performing!

Hi, this is a cassette recorder which uses Standard Audio Cassette. It has a built in microphone however, if you are in a band and need fast recordings for band jams with very loud sound, you may connect an external mic (stereo mini plug) for it to record those loud sounds. -Ely

This would serve you very well. For its price it would definitely do that and much more. I do however suggest other mic sets due to the fact that this is much more expensive than what you would need to achieve that quality drums live.

You need something that provides phantom power for this mic. It may be included in the recorder you are plugging into (or amp/speaker), but otherwise you will need a preamp for it.

Will it be audible (assuming every instrument has a source of amplification)? Yes. Will it sound good and satisfy you? Probably not. In a band situation such as this, I do not recommend this product. You will probably want separate channels for each instrument and a few for the drums alone so that you can mix in a balanced manner. As this only has one input, you would need a microphone that could hear everything in a detailed and balanced way. Good luck finding a single mic that can do that. There are many better options than this for a band application. One that pops to mind (not the only option) is a live sound mixer with outputs to a CD recorder or something of the like.

either 1/4 inch or XLR cables that are long enough for your area. There are some higher quality cable intended for recording. you might want to go with those. Personally I would just go up to Guitar Center and explain your set up and buy whatever they suggest.

Yeah, totally! You just need a mic obviously and some software. Audacity should work fine, which is free. Just plug this in to a USB port, plug the mic in, set everything up, and hit record.

You can only record to two tracks at a time, either using two microphones or plugging directly into the machine. This unit has two built in condenser microphones which are actually pretty sweet, or you could plug in your own microphones and mic your practice space the best way to capture the entire band. This would allow you to get a live two-track stereo recording of your band which you could then mix to the right and left for the true stereo sound. It would just be a matter of trial and error as far as microphone placement is concerned to get the best sound. Good luck!
