Snare Bottom (occasionally if I want more "rattle")- Audio Technica 4041

Snare Side (sometimes for a nice crack)- Audio Technica 4041 or SM57

(I rarely use all 3 of the snare mics. Usually just one will do the trick depending on the song)

HiHat- Audio Technica 4041

Rack and Floor Toms- Shure SM57 (for a natural sound) or Oktava MC012 (the Oktavas have an exaggerated proxemity effect that can generate "the low end from hell")
