I've tried most of the above mentioned mics on overheads. They're all good choices.
But, if you want the best sounding 'ROCK' drums, it's got to be the Coles 4038. These mics are a cut above all the rest for this job. Generally I need to roll in a bit of top to get the perfect sound, and also make sure the mics are facing down parallel to the kit, about a meter off the brass.
