Best live drum mic setup

Please don't hate me for the repost I was just wanted to see if I can get some different ideas on drum mic combos. Mid to high end would be nice

We purchased 2 sets of Audix D series mic kits for 2 different facilities. It sounds pretty decent on the Yamaha Absolute kit but want to step it up a bit. Any recommendations?

Beta 56a on toms
beta 56/57a or SM57 on snare
there are millions of option for kick
good and cheep, some of the best live drums ive heard have been done this way if they dont work you need to look at the drum kit, even SM57s on every drum can sound great.

Beyer make some nice mics and kits if you want to spend the money but once you hear a great sound from the betas you wonder why pay out all that money.
