I guess if I care about the track I'll use Oktava Mc012s (omnis when recording, cardi when live), and if I don't care I'll throw up CAD M179s (worst purchase ever!). If I've got options (i.e. if I'm borrowing mics and they're free, and I'm sure the drummer has enough control not to hit them) I'll use ADK TLs - beautiful!

I am not a good drummer, but even I can manage not to hit OH mics.
 
I'm still using the same ones I have been for years. Depending on the kit, cymbals in particular, KM-184's or Earthworks SR-71's or AT4033's or MK-012's (cardiod or omni).
