Am I stuck with only using two mics, or could I run it through a mixer? Man, I should've just gotten a Firestudio. Didn't think about whether I'd anticipate wanting to get a drumset. Could I possibly get away with two mics in an X/Y config?

I think you should be able to get a semi decent sound with two overheads. Or maybe try one overhead and something on the kick.

Experimentation is your friend.
 
the firebox can do upto 6 inputs. i only know how to use 4 though. the 2 line ins on the back can be turned on in cubase. go to devices then vst inputs on move the menu down and turn on 3 and 4. then youll have to get some preamps but then your have 4 inputs. i had to do this every time i opened cubase, but definately worth it for drums. left and right overheads, kick, and snare.
