I have a selection of mics, use 98khz, and have a decent preamp but still can't get a good recording that captures the tone. I was thinking it might be the small room but not shure. Any help?

Just try this:Simple and efective. Put an SM57 in a 45 degree angle, just like a tom. Look for the muddy frecuency, usually around 500 Hz and get rid of it ( Q10 is a good plugin for doing that with narrow Q´s ). Compress to taste and add lots of 10K or 12K eq on a Pulteq EQP1A ( The plugin works well ). These together and in this order will give you a very hifi sound. Using a bottom mic depends on what kind of music you´re recording but if bass drum is an issue, dont use it.
Hope this helps.
