I'm getting ready to record drums into my multi-track.  I was wondering what is the best 
way, completely individual, or can some be grouped together- like kicks and toms.  Hope 
this question makes sense!  

Thanks, Mike

If you have enough free tracks, I say go for recording them all 
individually, it definitely gives you more flexibility later on down the 
road should you need it.  If you need to group instruments, I would say 
group things like HH's and cymbals, toms and bongos/percussion, snares and 
claps/snaps.  Personally, I would try and keep at least the BD and Snare 
on their own tracks, but this could be different depending on what's 
important to your music.

I would say keep things like the BD and Snare on the mono channels, 
chances are you won't be panning those to the side anyway.  The stereo 
tracks I would leave for your higher "pitched" instruments like HH's, 
cymbals, and the odd percussion, as those things show off stereo 
seperation the best when it comes to effects.

Or just record them dry and use the effects in your multitrack too.

Thanks!!  I have four mono and two stereo tracks to work with.  I guess it 
gets tricky if I 
want to use the stereo drum kits and keep their original stereo effects. 
I'll definitely keep 
the BD and Sn seperate.  Thanks again for the help!!
