i'm trying to get the BEST sound possible out of my drum kit... a DW 7 piece.

These are the mics that I have. any placement suggestions would be welcome:

[3] AKG C-414
[1] AKG 451-B
[1] AKG D-112
[2] Sennheiser 421-II
[3] SM-57
[1] SM-58
[1] Royer R-122

I have a Mackie 1642 VLZ Pro mixing board, two Behringer multicom pro XL compression units (four inputs), one Behringer composer pro (two input) compression unit... and a MOTU 2408 MK-III going into my computer.

I'm thinking about getting a Focusrite Octopre so I can use more mikes, and then hook that into the MOTU with the ADAT optical card.

I use the behringer compression units as insert's on each channel. i'm just wondering what the ideal mic placement and compression settings would be. any help is greatly appreciate! :)
