I am planning on buying a pair of MXL-603's. My question is, to record drums, do they have to be matched stereo pair?

Not in my opinion. You will probably be moving them around to find the right spot anyway, and then using EQ once you've recorded. IMO, mached pairs are more important when doing X/Y micing.

You may want to listen to the two first, I would get them as closely matched as possible.

No, but it would be better if they were a matched stereo pair.
