Doc, the simplest way to begin recording is by downloading a free program like Audacity (that's the one I use) that is an editor, and recording software. Next, you'll need microphones and an interface, or mixer. The microphone set up can be as simple as a single overhead microphone, or a fully mic'ed set with a mic on every drum, and a couple of overhead mics for the cymbals. After that, it's just a matter of getting the cables that will take the sound from the interface (or mixer) to the audio input of the computer. When I was thinking about doing this, I also Googled everything I could find, and still I went through quite a learning curve (still am actually).
