If you have played drums and needed to record them what kind of mics would you use?

When I was in the studio we used:

Kick: AKG 414EB
Hat: Sennheiser MD421 or 441
Snare: Shure SM57 or 58
Toms: Neumann U87 or 89
Ride: Sennheiser MD421 or 441
Crash: Sennheiser MD421 or 441

We also used the thin short black clip-ons for less interference with the drummer.
We also used XLR cables to connect the mics as well.

I use cables with cannon connectors.
