What about those shotgun mic's (lobar, I think they're called?), like this:

May allow you to close mic without getting so...  Close.

Would probably still be a phase alignment nightmare, tho.

Sounds like a major pain in the ass. I have no idea why you'd want to put yourself through the hell of trying to make this work.

Will the original poster give us some links where we can hear how this technique actually sounds?

CAD makes a couple of drum mic'ing packages for cheap - Chinese of course, but the SDC's included in those kits are short and are likely up to handling the SPL required. Maybe they sell those individually. I wish I could tell you what the top end of these sounded like but I've spent too much time standing on stages next to crash cymbals Laughing
