Micing Steel Drums

I'm about to start a recording session of a 3 piece band with Drums, Electric Bass, and steel drums. Anyone have any tips, tricks, or pointers for mic selection or placement on the steel drums? I've never recorded steel drums before and any help would be greatly appreciated.
My microphone choices:
Marshall MXL 2001 (2)
Marshall MXL 603S (2)
