I guess you spent all your cash on mics?



You did not mention overheads.  IMHO they are the most important. 
There is a very old principle that thankfully made a resurgence in 
the nineties: the sound of the drums is in the *air* you cant go 
wrong with stereo overheads and a mic. on the kick in a slightly 
lively room.  Use the overheads for the main part of the sound and 
use the close mics only to bring up those instruments whose levels 
are not quite cutting it.

When with my drummer the overheads are often all I use.

In music there are no rules.... OK there is one: Only close miking 
drums SUCKS!!
