Hear is how I mic up drums.
Two overhead mics for cymbales (usually a pair of pencil condencer mics like AKG KM184)
One mic above snare and one mic below. Sure sm57 will do
One mic for High hat
One mic for each tom (sennheiser usually)
Buy Sennheiser e604 Drum Microphone 3-Pack online at Musician's Friend
One for bass drum D112 inside the bass drum and one on the outside too (each spot has a different sound)
So i guess in total that is 10 mics.
