If you want a good recording you have to mic the beast. Vid cam just won't do. It's the whole tune it, mic it, mix it thing. I like at least 8 channels adat, while video recording. Then throw it on the computer (cubase)for a mix, and sync with the video.

I've known this one drummer who films themselves on a camera, but at the same time records the drums via microphone(s) or mixer and runs it into the computer to a mixing program like Audacity ([url=http://audacity.sourceforge.net]audacity.sourceforge.net[/url]). Then they take the tape and remove the sound and mix in the recorded sound with the video.
I'd personally do this if I had a mixing board. ;)

New drum heads are always a good idea for a new kit. Most kits come stocked with mediocre heads to say the least. Try re-heading the kit and try the suggest audio adjustments and it should sound a lot better.

i would imagine it depends on the video camera, but there is prolly an audio in or mic input somewhere. mic the drums and run them through a mixer and out to the camera. that way you'll have a small degree of contol over the sound. other than that you could record them to your pc and use software to dub the audio into the video when you make the file.
