Not above, just right into the middle height of the kit. Absolutely wonderful sound, picked the spot by moving around and listening and those two spots were just smokin'. The imaging was great, if you don't mind things not being perfectly centered like kick and snare...the kick was a bit right and the snare was a bit left of course!
Those are side address pencil mics on eval from Audio Technica so no...they're not pointing at the ceiling! New mic coming out called the ATM450.

It's very cool to read this now, as I just tried a similar thing with great results. I used 1 SDC just where you have it aimed mostly toward ride and floor tom . The second SDC was about 3 1/2 feet directly above the snare and exactly perpendicular to the 1st SDC. So, this approach is 1/2 War & 1/2 Recorderman. We can call this Warderman. Or not. But it sounded great.
