And the fact that he wants to record drums with two inputs suggests that he has neither the money for an interface with 6 more inputs or for the microphones to accompany the new inputs. Yeah the theory is more Mic's = more control = better chance for a better recording. but we all know the skill isn't in putting microphones on Mic stands and then vaguely aiming them at the source, the skill is in knowing where to put everything and what to use to get the product you want. I believe that it is more beneficial to learn how to get the best product in less than perfect ideals then it is to hand everything down on a plate. If the OP learnt how to get a great drum sound with 2 mics. . . which is perfectly possible, imagin how much better he would be when he came to upgrading the setup.
Whats funny about this is that when we had access to a full scale studio(when I took an audio engineering class) we got great drum sounds. Its just that we were so rushed that the end result was a rushed half assed job. So with our own equip even just 2 track were already getting better results by just taking our time.
