I'd ditch those Audix mics completely... the D series are not bad, but those "Fusion" series mic's are pretty horrendous for anything other than cheap live sound reinforcement...

As someone else said, try a more minimal approach...
I'd go with a Glyn Johns or Recorderman style (modify as you see fit) using
B52 - kick
SM57 or MD421 - snare
and
choose from your condensors as the two "overheads" - don't worry too much about them being matched in this type of config, you can still get awesome results....

Maybe left over condensor as a front of kit/room mic...
