Didn't read the thread but for ONE mics I suggest two possibilities...
A) somewhere above the drummers head, from behind him sort over the shoulder.
B) there can be a sweet spot (jazz espessially) off of the drummers left knee. In front of the kit (but to the side)
I suggest option A first but try B if and when you can futz around during soundchecks. For both apps I suggest a large diaphram condensor.
