Need suggestions on drums micing (pictures)

[GOA]

For now it's just demo recording, but soon i need to record this setup for real....
Everything ok with the drums so far, but the cymbals are real pain in the ass. I don't have a lot of mics to choose from and just 16 through lines....
Is it ok to record close with the dynamic mics, especialy like 609 ?
Thanx.

Start here. There's a couple of different methods of overhead miking discussed.
