Q. I'd like to put drum videos on youtube and show my friends so what would be a good video camera that has good sound quality?
The sound is more important than the actual video.

A. A lot of video cameras these days include a 1/8" microphone jack.
You may be able to find a decent microphone with a 1/4" connector and use some form of adapter to plug that into a well priced camera.
This is almost always the best way to get good sound out of your camera. It also lets you position your microphone and camera in different places, hopefully to achieve a better overall video.
I would also advise you to look at the position of the microphone jack on the camera. Some of them can be in odd places where one of the adapters may not fit. You may still be able to get away with a 1/4" to 1/8" cable.
Or you may just be able to buy a better quality webcam-friendly microphone with the 1/8" connector standard, and ignore most of the above. These seem to be geared toward picking up voice close distances, however.
This doesn't answer your question directly, and I apologize for that. I have never seen a video camera with any decent quality built-in microphone. I have seen (and heard) the better results of using that microphone jack.
You may also be able to save money by adding the microphone yourself.

How to record drum sounds/audio from Yamaha DTXplorer?
Q. I want to record videos of myself playing the drums but when i just use a video camera, the sound is not accurate at all. I've seen on YouTube that certain people get the exact sound by using mics (for acoustic kits) but how do I do so for the DTXplorer (an electronic kit). Please do mention all the different methods you know in case I do not have the equipment for one method.
A. Recording an electric drum kit is very easy if you have either a recording interface or a USB mixer.

With either of these, all you need to do is connect the output of your drum's modulator to one of these. Then you will need some kind of recording software. There are some very basic programs that are free, but very basic.
So what you will do is record the sound while capturing the video. You will then tweek the audio in your recording software and then sync it with the video in the video software of your choise. Many times Windows based computers will come with free movie making software. If you don't have any, you can probably download this for free as well.

Is there a way to set up a digital camera to record video from your computer and record sound from a mic?
Q. I have a digital camera that records video but the sound quality isn't good. Is there a way to plug it in to my laptop and set it up to where it records video onto the computer while recording sound from a mic?
I plan on making drum covers and I need good sound quality in order to do so. If you know a way to do this PLEASE tell me cause i really need to know.
