How should one pan those two mices? Centered while recording (to one track)

And what''ll happen to the kick, because the 2 mices cannot be equidistant
to both snare AND kick....or?

Actually, imagine a line between the two drums and place the two mikes
perpendicular to this line at equal distance. This positioning could
work with the 'close to the floor tom' and the 'over the snare' mike
positions.

There are lots and lots of places where two mikes could be placed
equidistant to any two drums. The problem is that with most drum kits,
the third and fourth drums probably won't also be equidistant to these
mikes, and will probably end up much closer to only one of the mikes.
It's a tradeoff.
