In the meantime, there's no way a stereo pair can capture a kick and snare
set up for one drummer with any fidelity to either drum, never mind the rest
of the kit.

Of course a stereo pair can do this & it is done all the time, however the
result is not the familiar (and obviously very unrealistic) sound of pop music.
Some of the most realistic drum sounds I have heard were coming through Ben
Maas's stereo AKG placed in front of the kit on big band gigs.
