Setup Suggestions?

Ok so I just got some new equipment and I was wondering if anyone could share with me their opinion on how I should go about setting it up.

I have a Mac G4 (yes I know, its about 5 years old) with Pro Tools LE on it and a Sound card installed in it as an interface.

I am looking to record drums for my band (a heavier group) and I want to know what the best setup would be. Heres what I'm doing now:

Drum mics --> Behringer 4 Track Mixer --> 2 Channel Alesis Compression / Gate --> Sound Card Input --> Protools --> Sound Card Output --> Headphone Amp --> Headphones / Monitors.

Any setup changes anyone can suggest?

By the way Im using 4 microphones for the drums:
2 SM57s, 1 SM77, and 1 Audix D6

That's the way I used to do it, minus the compressor. Save that for mixdown.
