What do you call a guy with his arm halfway up a horse's ass?

but seriously, engine noises do suck. leaf blowers may be the worst thing ever invented. right up there with atomic bombs.

True. And if everyone was still riding horses, we wouldn't have engine problems.
Or drunk driving issues.
Might have some people fall off thier horse though.

Points already been made, but the overheads should give you a representation of the kit as a whole. If that sounds OK, then you can use spot mics on toms, kick etc to enhance those specific areas, but with good mic placement it shouldn't be too necessary. Have you got an LDC you could use as a room mic? That can help give some more colour.
Also, once you've got the track recorded you could try duplicating the overheads twice and EQ one to bring out the cymbals and the other to beef up the toms. Original track can give the full picture. Run it all to a drum buss, duplicate that and parallel compress the duplicate ...sweet. Well, worked for me anyway!

Something I didn't see covered is tuning. If the toms sound wrong, or dead or too lively, it can be a tuning issue. Drums/heads sound best in a certain range. Take off the deadening, get your high tom where it sounds great, then tune each a fourth or a fifth lower, depending on what you're looking for. Make sure to scoop the mics to the frequencies you're working with, and your sound should be great.
