God I hate 2 kick setups. A lot of kit without a lot of return and difficult to get the kicks to sound right together.
Plus all the ones I have come across (4 so far), have the right kick with decent skins and the left kick with beat to shit skins because the drummer didn't want the financial responsibility of keeping a 2 kick setup up to par.
Then there is the tom thing. Setup 6-8 toms only to find they play the kit like it was a 6 piece and the fucker is NEVER in tune. Fuc King never.
But anyhow if I was putting mics on that kit:
2 kick drum mics
4 rack toms mics like the 57 or D2
2 floor drum tom mics like the D112 or D4
2 overheads
2 cymbal spot mics for the hats and ride if nessesary
2 snare mics, 57 or i5 on top and whatever worked on the bottom (sdc or dynamic)
Possibly a room mic or 2 on top of that.
