yeah but truly! here's the thing...
I would rather have a shitty 300$ drum kit,
1 sm57, and a computer THAN ANY OF THOSE THINGS U MENTIONED!
Been there, done that..
Actually try a Gretsch drum kit with $2000 worth of mics..
and I ended up using Soundreplacer in PT with all the drums

lol, ouch.
i guess i just dig that lofi sound.. i can never achieve with samples
What about trying something like the d fi plugs from PT
Reduce the sampling rate down and add noise?..
Or just run the drums out and through an amp/pedal to dirty em
up a bit?,,

I'd watch out for those cables. There's a difference between the voltage in a line input and a mic input. You'll be putting the microphone into a line input, and in the end will need to boost the signal considerably to get what you want. While this is doable, this will also amplify the noise floor a huge amount for messy sounding recordings. I think a better solution would be to throw down like 100 bucks for a usb preamp with a mic input. Check out m-audio, they probably have some pretty good ones.
