Record Drums with One Mic!

Guess what? You can totally record drums with one microphone. Even a cheap one!
In this video, I demonstrate how to record a drum set using a single cheap microphone - a Shure SM57.
How did I do it? I set it up behind the kit, by my right elbow, and pointed the mic at my bass drum. My hopes were to NOT have a really thin-sounding kick drum, and to try to capture the whole kit with a single mic.
I think I did that pretty well - listen to the drums in the video and let me know what you think.
