I haven't recorded a steel drum before, but if I had your two mics you mentioned I'd try the SDC mics from further away (a few feet) because getting too close might be harsh, and then I'd try the 57 closer up (maybe from the bottom as suggested above and checking/flipping phase if you're going to mix the two mics together).
