I have reason to expect this bad hombre to arrive sometime tomorrow!

In addition...

I'm going to need a pair of monitors...at least one more mic (I have an Sm58)...and...what else?
Your thoughts re: a basement recording 'studio'.

Mostly, I want to record multiple (hand) drum and bass tracks.

It's all for fun!

Your thoughts will be Most welcome!

Your on your way. The headphone monitors will be a good monitoring and mixing solution to start out. Once you learn about how to mix and learn about room acoustics, and how to treat it for the optimal sound, then monitors will be the next step. Once you learn about acoustics of your room, you'll know where to setup your recorder and monitors, as well as what size monitors fit best for your room.

As for mics, there are various types designed for specific uses. If you'r going to record live acoustic drums, drum mics will serve you best, and the Dynamic mic you have can be used for overhead sound. If you plan to record at low volumes like acoustic instruments, large or small diaphram condenser mics will serve you best. IME the quality of a mic can make a huge difference in sound if you use the right mic for the right situation/condition/instrument/amp. That's why there are different types of mics.
