for affordable, the senn 604's are very good.
421's still workhorses.
i am yet to try the atm25's but hear you need less Eq with them.
i have tried a coles 4038 around 12" from the side of my floor tom and it had a cool open sound, at the same time i used a Royer 121 around 2' from my rack tom and no overheads. a bit of compression, 57 on the rim of the snare and D112 in the hole of kick, and the whole kit sounded cool. cymbals had a bit of Ringo wash but for what i was doing it worked out. sort of a Mick Fleetwood groove, not to many cymbals.
have fun with it
