Mixing Drums when tracked using 3 mic technique

I am looking for some advice when mixing drums using the 3 mic method regarding eq, grouping and general mixing techniques. I am challanged with getting the drums to have impact in the mix.

Eg. I want a little more air and I get a raging hi hat. I want to have a stronger kick and things get muddy or the bass looses impact.

Octopre and Mics for drums?

I was planning on using an octopre to add 8 chanels to my 002 rig via the optic, and dedicate these mainly to recording drums. The pre has built in compression/limiting and 48v phantom on each chanel. Is this a viable solution and if so what array of mics should I be looking at to cover the job properly?
I will only have about $1500.00 to play with though.
