Hi guys!
Was in our rehearsal space today and recorded some drums... I wonder if someone wouldn't mind giving me some tips if there is something missing, or what I need to do... These are the clean tracks, no gates, no EQ, nothing, just the drums as is. I recorded 8 tracks to my Steinberg MR816 CSX, kick on a beta 91, snare with a 57, 4 toms with tom clip on mics - don't remember which kind, and 2 overheads. Just looking for tips on this track on things i can do pre editing... Seeing as I'm going to use gates and eq etc to mix and master the drums later on, just wondering what I can do to the clean/dry signal to make it better.
I've also uploaded the track with no modifications, so it's in it's full wav format. (it's pretty big, about 40meg sorry about that)

Oh, I don't think I explained it well enough, but we will continue recording tomorrow and Sunday 
also re-recording this one. It's taken in one go, no stops.

Might just be the download (didn't finish properly) but I'm not hearing any stereo on it, everything is bang up the middle. The sounds aren't bad by any means, it's possibly a little kick heavy but without the music it's not really possible to give any more feedback than that. Sounds perfectly serviceable though.

Ditto what Tim said......
"master the drums later on" - say what?!!!?!?!
You master mixes, not individual tracks......

You need to pan the overheads at the very least.

Yes, sorry, my bad. Bit quick there.
Thanks for the feedback guys!
I figured I should pan it during the weekend, and that did help a lot! I think I got some good recordings, so I'll post them up when I get the rest recorded and starting to mix it
