Re: Just 1 AKG C1000?
I have the same exact problem... I recorded this with the same mic.
Click here to hear track I just took one of the tunes off the John Riley Art of Bop Drumming CD and put it in Garageband, then recorded the drums over it. So, don't think the whole band was recorded into the one mic. But still, I think it sounds okay for a jazz track. It might be lacking in a genre that requires more depth or tone from each individual drum. I use this mic live when I play congas with other groups too. I'd like to know how to use it more effectively, but it's a fairly versatile mic even for a novice in the sound engineering arts. If anyone has any tips please let us both know.

Re: Just 1 AKG C1000?
Why not get a matched pair of good-sounding condensors for $50 + shipping?
d/l sample Full band with drums recorded with MSH-1 pair only. Sounds good on acoustic guitar, too

Good sounding recording. Only two mics huh? Nice job. The AKG's are only $150, relatively cheap. Maybe using one of them as an overhead and then getting a couple more to cover the toms?

Re: Just 1 AKG C1000?
Oops! Should have specified: it wasn't me!
My opinion is based on these clips and others, but I have no trouble getting a good image of a kit with just a pair of condensors. I will buy 2-4 of these things someday, but I have my eye on a lot of small to large purchases... More on the cheap mics, info on the clips, etc. Thread Search the site for more.

Re: Just 1 AKG C1000?
Pre's. He means preamps. Basically, microphones are only half the story. Because of the low output level of microphones, the signal has to be boosted using a preamp. A bad preamp will make any microphone sound bad. A good preamp will make most microphones sound good or at least acceptable. They are as important as the microphone selection.
Most desks or audio interfaces will have preamps of a reasonably quality built in. You can, however, buy separate preamps like the Presonus TubePre. These can be expensive when bought individually. Usually those found in a semi-decent desk will get the job done.

Re: Just 1 AKG C1000?
No, the Presonus pres are actually pretty cheap in terms of dedicated preamps. The best preamps will cost you about $3000-6000. Your best bet if you are on a budget is to go with an interface or mixer. Most of the Behringer products have decent preamps and are relatively cheap. You can go with a Presonus firepod which has decent preamps as well and will allow you to send 8 tracks to your computer simultaneously through firewire. It all depends on your budget though and how many mics you plan on using
