Aha - a variation on New York parallel processing then!
Either that, or using a "wurst" mic setup.

You’d get better results splitting the mic and sending one signal to a Midas mic input and one to your color preamp, then that into a line in of the Midas. I’d use a transformer isolated splitter.

My gear is the following:
- Sonor Sq1 drumset
- A selection of various mics: Audix d2,d4,d6,i5, pair of adx51s
Shure: Ksm 137, 141, sm58
Earthworks dm20.
- A mixer that I recently ordered is midas m32r live.
- I have built a solidly dead drum room, though not too dead, but it resonates within my tastes for the drum sound.
- I got some small krk v4 monitors that I actually like, but probably gonna be looking into more monitoring options sooner or later
Now, I wanted to expand my equipment with (a) preamp(s). My longterm goal is to create something like a drum tracking room, that is specialized more for drum recording than to anything else (not really interested in recording other instruments if I really don't have to )
Let's say I am at the beginning of this endeavor and for the moment I am looking to expand on drum sound, want more broader sound, maybe a little more control and then more crack when needed.
I tried talking to several know-how-to-guys, but I did not end up with a straight answer when it comes to preamps. Where should I start in that department?
YT drummers have had some recording with focusrite clarett preamps, it caught my eye, but then some nay-sayers came and basically stated that kind of preamp and preamp price range is worthless according to their opinion.
So, yeah, how about a straight answer, WHAT PREAMP should I start with to add to this equipment? Or what would be the next logical step when building this small drum project studio?
BTW
Here is what I have accomplished so far with my drum recordings, the last two of them at least:
