when i record drums, i use two overhead mics, and as someone said before, i place them behind the kit. placing them directly overhead or in front of the kit tends to pick up on the cymbals too much..personally i like to hear the snare and toms a lot and the cymbals not as much. its gonna be a lot of trial and error that way, you dont have control over the individual drum and cymbals but by placing the mics behind and a bit further back you get a big, roomy sound which is nice.
