[cr-india] Technical Queries - recording outdoors and related

[ramnarayan.k at gmail.com]

Hi

Am putting down a host of queries regarding recordings and equipment. 
Would be grateful to hear from people who have already done this.

1. What is the best way to record outdoors - specifically drumming 
events - traditional folk musicians. Groups of 3 -4 drummers.

***
2.1 What would be a good mike , amplifier, speaker system to use for a 
meeting scenario. What kind of power inputs would be required.

2.2. Are there mike, amplifier systems in which one output could be 
directed to a digital recording device, if yes please suggest and also 
please recommend a suitable recording device as well.

What would be the critical considerations to ensure good recordings.

Would appreciate your inputs

thanks
