i have a condenser mic and 1 sm 57, how to mic the drums? i want it sound more balance
 
If that is all you have, put the '57 in the kick. put the condenser on a stand just above the drummers head, kind of pointing at the snare. compress the crap out of it after it is recorded.
 
i tried it, it's ok when only play bass drum and snare, but tom sound not good
 
If you are looking for that close-miked tom sound, you will need to close mic the toms (oddly enough) get some more mics

Do the toms sound good in the room? Its sounds like you need to play differently. One overhead mic should be able to capture a pretty good overall sound if you put it in the right place and ballance the drum with your playing
