I hate to sound like a cunt and all, but you're not going to get anywhere close to professional results with a practice amp and a couple of mics. Unless your definition of professional is early Anal Cunt.

your best bet would be to plug directly into your soundcard as much as possible. As for drums, check out these links:

You may want to invest in an external soundcard. I've got one that has midi, mic, guitar and aux input, from TASCAM. Bought it second hand for around 75 dollars. Try your luck on E-bay, or in a second hand store.

spend the money to build a studio and have it set up by the guitar center pro shop. other than that you'll never sound pro, nobody ever will.

Well, that's certainly not the truth.

Yeah, most people who are pro band types just rent out studio time instead....

Well, yeah, that, and you don't neccesarily need top gear and a bunch of guys coming over to tune your studio, to sound professional :)
