I have to agree with magic. It's hard enough to get a great recorded drum sound with everything miced. No mics at all, I wouldn't even waste my time unless you are recording for only yourselves. You can learn alot, but it will never be of high enough quality that you'll want outsiders hearing it.

Remember you'll have to gate each drum mic so that the mic only picks up when that drum is struck. Except for the over heads that is. Also I find it a good idea to run each drum thru a compressor with an eq going into the sidechain. If you know anybody that has some of this gear, just invite em over. Have a recording party.

My 2 cents :)
