I would use a couple of Mk21's overhead of the kit, possibly in the classic 3mike approach (i.e. one too the left of the kit approx just over the hight of the floor tom and the other over the drummers left shoulder pointing towards the snare both about 4 foot from the snare. 4033 for the bass drum, and a Mk4 for the sax, trust me on this one, you won't be dissapointed. Then why not sling a couple of KM84's for the room, maybe even all four of them to give you two different perspectives that you can decide which you prefer in mixdown. I would also spot the snare with whatever you have left over and you think will work. Placing the mic's in front of the kit has two dissadvatages, one they may get knocked by the sax player or someone else moving around, and secondly depending on how the drummer plays or has his cymbals set you can get the on axis off axis swing plus it tends too lack the stick definition you would want from a great player.
