I will do my best at explaining what I have learned, your 4 XLR's can be your kick drum snare and high hats(most common drums to accent). You could use the 4th on for an overhead to pick up the rest of the kit. As far as the 4 jacks go those are mono connections instead of stereo(XLR) so each one will feed the sound to either left or right channel(kinda like when you turn the pan left or right) So in reality you could have your tom mics on them to and then when you play them they would sound like they are shifting from left to right. It is also possible to do this with the (XLR) inputs by turning the pan full left or full right on its channel. What mixer are you using(model)? What mics? What is the media in which you are recording to(CD, TAPE, or PC/DIGITAL/MP3 format)? I hope this helps. F/T
