Until recently I have been using a kick-drum mic but nothing else for live performances. I have just bought a full set of mics - kick-drum, three clip on tom mics, a snare mic, and two overhead mics. But I don't think my band's mixing unit has enough spare inputs.

So I am thinking of buying a small mixing unit for my drums that would then feed into one input on the band's mixer (or maybe two, since I would probably keep the kick-drum as a separate line). Does this make sense? Has anyone else done this? Any advice on what mixing unit to buy?
