Sounds good!

Any room mics or are all the drums close-miced?  Sounds all close-miced to me.

Hi guys,
I own an acoustic drum, and I wanted to record it.
My set looks like this [1], and I wanted 8 mics to record it.
So, starting from *just* the drums, I bought everything I needed:

1. The Mixer
I got a second hand Soundtracs Topaz Micro (I used its Inserts as Direct Outs)
for 220 euros

2. The PC
I got an IBM Thinkcentre 8215 for 50 euros

3. The converters
I got an Echo Layla 20 for 50 euros, it has 8 analog ins and it is
really well supported by alsa.

4. The Monitors
I got a pair of second hand KRK Rockit 5 for 150 euros

5. Cables and mic stands
Got them for around 250 euros

6. The mics
I got an Audix D6 and a Sennheiser e609 for kick,
a Revox m3500 and a Beyer m610 for the snare,
two Sennheiser e609 for the floor toms
and a pair of Sennheiser e614 as overheads.
The total cost of those mics (second hand) is 600 euros.

So, the total price of the whole thing was around 1320 euros!
Here are some audio clip of the result, dry recording [2] and processed
with some eq, compressor and reverb [3]

So guys, what do you think?
If I would improve the quality of my recordings, where should I spend
more money?

PS: I suck at playing
