10 Cymbals! this will be fun.
I use a couple different positions for overheads. Sometimes I position the left overhead about 3 feed above the farthest left cymbal(s) pointing straight down at the edge, same thing with the right overhead. This can leave a hole in the middle but it works for me. Another way is to set them up in about the middle of the kit, 3 or more feet above kit, with the ends of the 2 mics almost touching each other, angled at 45 degree angles to each other - looks like a 'V' only more 45.
You are always going to pick up the toms, snare and kick, but this can work to your advantage. The overheads are critical in capturing the ambience and room sound. You can always to some low cut on them to minimize the kick, toms and snare to some extent.
Guess whatever works for your kit and room is what it really comes down to.
