I've done minimal miking on occasion. I like the sound and simplicity of it. However, you need a drummer that can "self mix" their dynamics to pull it off. It does have its own sound, one that isn't very in vogue at the moment. It is a great sound, but great engineering is about bringing the proper perspective to a project and you're not going to get a very 'in yo face modern' sound with that method.
But yeah, you can do some damage with some overheads, some rooms, and a kick mic (maybe a snare) with the right placement, right player, right room in the right production.
