it really depends on your room, drums and cymbals. you won't get a massively powerful (read: modernly punchy) drum sound with just two mics. you CAN get a perfectly usable sound, though.....but it'll be more towards a traditionally "jazz" style sound, if that makes any sense.
i'd skip using them as overheads. you'll get a lot of cymbals and snare, and a little kick. it might work for you, but it might not.
instead, i'd put a pair of mics (either small or large diaphragm condensers) about 6ft out in front of the set, either in X/Y or spaced pair. put em about head height or so, and aim them just slightly downward. this will get a representation of the kit as if you were standing in front of it.
as for what kind of mics? that depends on your budget, room, drums and cymbals. i won't deal with the higher-end mics, b/c they're out of budget for most of us here. for SDCs, some folks like the MXL 603s (i find them too bright in my room for use on drums) and some folks like the Oktava mc012s. i've not used the oktavas, but they tend to be "darker" with respect to the MXLs. as for LDCs (or MDCs), i've had good success with the MXL V67, SP B1 and the BLUE Dragonfly. they all have different sonic signatures and depending on what i want the drums to sound like, i'll use whichever is best suited at the time.
as for actual sonics, the drums, their tuning and the room will play a far larger factor than the mics used.
hope this helps some......
