Looking for a flash(?) camcorder with great sound recording!

Hey there! I'll cut right to it I guess

I'm looking for a flash camcorder that has great audio recording. I'm a drummer and I basically want to upload videos to YouTube of me playing along to my favourite songs. I'd be recording myself (video and audio) and putting it over the actual song mp3 (which would be quieter to focus on my drum sound of course) and upload the video from there.

I'd also like to be able to record my band's live performances.

So I want to buy a nice camera, but I also want a nice crisp-as-possible sound so I can get the best out of my drums without having to buy microphones all over the kit.

Now, I know obviously that a lot of cameras don't record sound great without an external mic, but the video of my friend doing what I want to, is proof that it can be done!

Here is an example of my friend doing this with an old MiniDV camera (no thanks!)

Notice how the drums are really clear, only using the camera's micrHey there! I'll cut right to it I guess

That is a JVC GR-D270U camera, by the way.


So I was just wondering if anyone could suggest a not-incredibly-pricey video camera that could manage this. I'd also like to be able to easily upload these videos to my computer, some way or another. USB maybe? Thanks guysophone!
