For the steel drum, distance seemed to be my friend... close micing was troublesome... I used an AT4060 as an overhead , approx 3-4 ft over the steeldrum... with a Grace preamp. It worked for the song as it was more of a background track anyways. Still wasn't particularly happy with it, though in this case it was more of a instrument/player problem.
