<I was thinking of using my existing Kustom system for monitors, would
that work? I have the speaker poles and mics etc. to where I think
all I would need is the board and the speakers. So the Behringer 12
channell would take care of what I described? Even if the drums were
miced?
Thanks again

Depends on what you expect from the drum kit, and the actual size of the
low
freq driver in the Beh cabs. 15" should be OK, but 12" low drivers or
smaller could use a sub. But then again, depends on the level you're
desiring for the drums. With such small coverage areas you're gonna hear
the drums themselves from the actual kit, so you won't need a full set of
mic's on the kit. You could get by with a kick mic, and one or 2
overheads,
and possibly a snare mic depending on what the overheads (and vocals mics,
especially the drummers) are picking up. And if you're just going for some
definition and even mix, then keep it nice and simple and you should be
able to get what you need.
Bottom line is that unless you've got a large stage area, and some high
end
mics and gates, all the mics are gonna have some bleed from sources other
than intended. Start off simple and with a few well placed mics. You can
always add to that or swap mics and gear to refine things later.
But I would say to be careful with the kick & bass gtr so you do leave
some
headroom for the vocals. If you have the low end too slammin, it will
affect the mids in a small 2 way cabinet.
