Begin collecting decent mic's (and a couple of SM57s would be a great start) and do the job as best you can - drum mic kits are invariably a waste of money. You'll keep the 57s for life, but the same will not be said of many of the mic's in one of these kits.
Might I say at this point, Bollox?
I was tempted to leave it there! But ...
~ The questioner needs a mic set for not a lot of dosh, so.
~ Getting drum tuning right, the mic-positioning right, and the room right is much more to the point than any mike!
~ Therefore the money saved on mics can be used for room treatment, gobos etc.
~ With a set of t-bone mics he can record NOW and in many different ways, and really learn stuff with them
Although getting classic mics is deffo better than not, the OP will also have a whole bunch of different mics that will be useful for micing cabs, accy guitars, vocals.
There is somuch folklore in audio about what MUST Be Used (cue angry god effects).
I've been able to get really great sounds, both live and recorded, with various t-boners
.
Also fab sounds with 'better' mics too of course. I'd rather use the best mics I can,
especially for overheads, but mics are subordinate to getting the sound and the mic
placing right.
