I agree wtih roland. a classic three mic setup for the drums would probably be best with the 21s as over heads and the 4033 on the bass drum. I'd also use an mk4 on the sax.

as far as the room mics go I'd suggest a km84 pair at the stage lip in ortf. be sure to place them closer to the sax player, but you want the outside of the drum kit to be within the angle of the mics. I'd also place a km84 pair strategecially in the room. if you can't fly them and don't want to just setup a mic stand in the middle of the room then I'd suggest that you just run a stand at FOH. preferabbly at 7-8 feet high unless the PA is lower than that. if you have the extra channels throw up the Oktavas with hyper caps as room mics too. then you can decide if the cards or hypers worked better in post.

just my $.02
