Keep in mind, I think a lot of the old Hendrix tracks only used like, 3 mics on drums.

How loud is his kick?
Does he bang the s**t out of the whole kit???
and, how much time do you have to just get sounds?
does it need major stereo spread?
It's just a five piece..how often does he hit the toms?

Depending on what you are going for, I think you could get by with some overheads, and a maybe a sm57 on the snare....and possibly something on the kick, though your mic cab doesnt seem to have a real good kick mic...
and a room mic....one of the mxl's
I know you dont want more gear, but another sm57 is cheap..if you need it for the guitar.

Worst case, have them play live, but use most of the mics for the kit, and have the guys overdub the rest..

I mean, I am (relatively) new at this, so feel free to disregard anything I say


good luck!
