You can get away with less mics, but the drummer needs to be a consistant hitter. I keep adding more mics, because I can change the sound of the drums during a song by muting mics. I have done projects when limited or in a hurry with 3 mics. 1 kik two ovrs. There isn't a lot of punch in it, so you gotta keep the production pretty stripped down.
