Here is what I'm thinking:
Kick: buy a D112 or maybe use the solidtube?
Snare top: sm57
Snare bottom?: akg c535
Tom 1: ? maybe a 103
Tom 2: ? maybe a 103
hi-hat: sm81 or oktava
overheads: km184s

Here's what you are thinking:

Kick:
Snare top:
Snare bottom?:
Tom 1:
Tom 2:
hi-hat:
overheads:

What I'm thinking is the three mic setup to start with.

One TLM103 out front of the kick about 4 feet looking at the tom shells.
One U99 over the drummers left shoulder looking at the snare/toms.
One TLM103 looking over the floor tom at the snare. Try it about 2"-4" higher
than the floor tom.
Try to get all 3 mics equal distance from the snare.

Might surprise you.
