Recording with a mixer is a pain thats what I'm stuck with for now until I save up $400 for a presonus firewire interface. Also I've noticed that sound quality gets reduced a lot when it's fed through a computer line-in or mic input. Also being able to isolate tracks when recording drums into a computer is a HUGE help. As for that mixer you would need more XLR inputs. I'd recommend to get a mixer with at least 8 XLR inputs. (10 or 12 might help in the long run) If you really need to record now and can't afford the mics yet you could probably record ok sounding drums with an overhead and a bass drum mic.
