That is cool (the 57 close and 012 distant) Be careful of phasing issues between the two mikes, but it will give a nice sound that you can blend to create a nice tone.
I Use marshal MXL 2001 for OH's and know one is the wiser. 1" Condensors sound good on Overheads. They mellow them out.
I would do the Oktava 319 Mike instead though for OH's
Smaller diaphragms tend to make the OH's sound thin and shrill in the very upper hi-end sometimes. Except the Neuman KM-84/184 and the AKG 451/461's

BTW I was not accusing you of crying, I have just heard people whine about cheap mikes and then I use the same crap and get a good sound. Placement is the key!!!. Even if the kit is not the greatest, tune it and use good heads and get the best sound you can out of it then go forth
I have hear a cheap remo set kill a poorly maintained pearl maple or birch set. Even a cheesy Tama set can kill a 5K set if you get the sound you want. Remember it is all relative.
