Maybe stick the ribbon in front of the drum kit, a few feet out, a few feet high, with keboards on one side and bass on the other (in the nulls) and have the keyboard amp as quiet as possible. Keeping the keyboard amp low would also help the drummer to play softly, which is going to work better in a small room. Try a 319 on the bass, up by the fingerboard, and the other one down by the bridge, just to give you options later. Plus take the di. Use the 012's for overheads, one 57 on kick, one on snare. Maybe try the PZM behind the kit on the wall, just in case the ribbon out front sucks. If you have inputs, you might as well use them. You can always throw away tracks later. The thing about the ribbon is, if you put on isolation headphones and find the sweet spot, you might be able to get your whole drum sound out of that one mic, and then use the other drum mics to add a little presence if you need it. In jazz, you want the sound of the whole kit, and trying to get the sound of the whole kit with close mics is a losing battle.
