Here is a video about recording live drums in the acoustic jazz idiom. I do this on a regular basis in the studio for many different types of jazz projects.

The mics I am using are:

4 Schoeps CMC-6 mics with the hyper-cardioid capsule on the snare toms and hi hat.
A Shure Beta 52 on the bass drum.
The preamps are Grace designs.
There is no compression or equalization is used in this video.
The drums used in this video are 1982 Gretsch Centennials.
18" x14" Bass, 10"x 8" tom 14" ×14" floor tom.
The snare is a 1950's 14" x 6.5" WFL Ray McKinley Drum.
The cymbals are:
