Hi,
I really want to delve into the world of drum recording, most likely in the form of YouTube covers and such! However, I am a 16 year old student, with limited money, so I want to keep it on the cheap!!! I've seen many videos on YouTube of people getting a great sound from just one mic direct into their PC. I was wondering if anyone could give me any advice, as well as answer these following questions for me?

I was wondering if anyone could give me any advice, as well as answer these following questions for me?
- What kind of microphone should be used: condenser or dynamic? I understand condenser mics often need powering using 48V phantom power, so how could I get around this?
- Could I and should I go direct from mic to PC, or should I introduce some kind of preamp?
- What software will be needed for editing?
