I use two mics on top also. A dynamic (varies-57,atm25, b201,md431) pointed towards the center of the drum and a small AKG 418 under the dynamic (as close as possible) and pointed directly at the rim. Dave Mattacks turned me on to this last year and I've been using it for every session...printed to two tracks. Allows great control over top/body balance. Folk/pop stuff here for the most part...so other's milage may vary.

Worth a try, though.
