While I have the equipment - a shit ton of mics, preamps, and a card that can route channels to my cpu - I really don't record live drums anymore. It's the hardest instrument to record. There are multiple technical issues from mic placement, time alignment / preamp timing, bleed, etc. Setting up a kit to put it to tape can take a day.

Once I have a solid signal and put it to tape, I have to hand cut each signal to just the strikes, which is a lot of work, especially when my kit requires 32 mics to capture everything.

Today most people are using vsts and samples. They're cleaner and sound just as good as a real kit if mixed right. With electronic drums (I own several Synesthesia Mandala Drum), rhythms can be played in via midi, with velocity and time, if a more natural feel is required for the track. Plus with Samples, you can layer drums to get a fuller sound (a sample of a real bass drum with various an synthetic bass drums eq'd with various cutoffs plus band compression etc) a live drum just can't compete on tape.

Being a real drummer helps when using such technology though. Knowing how the instrument is actually played, sounds, and reacts helps to get from samples to an authentic feel.
