U2 live drum overheads

I went to a U2 concert on Friday and I saw that they were using Audio-Technica drum overheads. Does anyone know which ones they use?

Recording Drums with an Mbox and/or Drum Triggering

is it possible to record drums with an mbox? i know that some sort of external i/o device would be required to have enough inputs for all the drums mics, since the mbox only has two, but is there a device that does this?

if this wouldnt work, is drum triggering an alternative? what equipment would i need to purchase to make this happen?
