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.

Good luck!

How do I record myself on video playing drums?
Q. I want to play drums and set up a video camera to record me, but at the same time actually sound somewhat decent.
Also to record myself doing drum covers to songs.
How do I do this without mic's?

A. most video cameras have a decent enough mic for your needs. If you set up your stereo speakers on either side of your kit facing out, and turn them up loud, you should be able to pick up both the drums and the music on the video camera mic. Make sure to put the camera on a stand in front of the kit with a wide angle shot to pick up everything in the shot without moving around.
The best way to do what you want is to use a mixer and 2 good overhead mics in stereo with the music going through head phone monitors that you can hear well. Feed the line out of the mixer to the audio in of a dvd recorder and the video out of the camera to the video in on the dvd recorder. the mics should be set up on either side of the drum set at a decent height above the kit. use the monitor out or control room out of the mixer to feed the headphone monitor amp.
This second method while sounding much better requires some technical ability to pull off correctly.
