Could you add close mics with the Recorderman Technique? Or does that defeat the purpose?

I'm recording a drummer next week in a home environment. I have 2 1073dpd, so 4 channels. I was going to go mono overhead, kick, snare, room. Or some variant. Then i read about the Recorderman technique and its made me rethink.

Thanks.

BTW I should have added that i'm after a relatively close drum sound. Less cymbal, more drum. In the fashion of Sufjan Stevens, Iron & Wine etc.
