Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

Hey Guys! I've been working on a demo for some time now. Since I 
haven't had much luck with other drummers, I've started playing the 
drums myself and got a DTXPRESS III. Now that I'm getting ready to 
start laying down some drum tracks (for more demos) I've been trying 
to listen to various albums to try to pick up how the drums are 
recorded. My question is for all you recording guys.. if you record 
straight in to your recording system do you still pan all the 
different drums like they have on the presents or do you bring them 
back closer to center? I've experimented several ways (also miking my 
amp) but thought since you guys have more experience I'd see what you 
say. I'd appreciate any feedback! Thanks!
