I've had good luck recently close micing the kick and snare plus a
single mono overhead mic,

This is how I do a lot of my live concert recording. Stereo is pretty overrated
for drum overheads, IMO. And with this arrangement I find I can get by with
very little of the snare & kick mics.

Yep I was just playing with this some more today, I replaced the OH
Gefell M582 with a Soundelux U195, they both sound great for this
application going thru a Great River NV. The tube Gefell is fat and
chunky while the U195 is more open on the top end, just depends what
flavor you are going for. But placement is everything, just a few
inches up or down and it all changes. When you I got that mic set so
that it really picked up the low end from the kit, it's killer. I
then just mix in a tiny bit of the kick & snare mics for definition.
My room is not ideal but it's well treated and the results are pretty
usuable.
