Audio-Technica AT2020, need advice

I need to buy a mic to record my toms, I already have a sm57 for the snare,
akg d112 for the bass drum. I am borrowing a friends sm94 for the hi hat.
So I'm looking for a cheap, quality toms mic, I saw the AT2020 on the net but what is it like? I am recording at home. Also, any suggestions for cheap cymbal mic?

thanks for any help in advance!

I want to assume you're using some sort of overhead, but I think you would of mentioned it. If you have a small number of mics, you're best going with very minimal micing. You should do two overheads, and then kick and snare if you can manage it. Micing toms and any of the cymbals is impractical at you at this point.
I would suggest you somehow get a pair you can use for stereo overheads. You could get another sm57 or sm94, but they wouldn't be the best for the job, but if you could manage two of the AT2020's(or equivalant), you would be in business.
