Prentiss L. Thompson of the Church Sound Podcast breaks down the importance of overhead mcs and the different way to utilize them.
Overheads are needed, a stereo pair of mics over the left and right sides of the kit, and equidistant from the snare drum, is the most popular technique. This has the advantage of giving good coverage and a degree of stereo imaging, as well as being easy to set up with two tall boom stands either side of the kit
The choice of overheads is very much dependant on the way they will be used. If you are able to get them in an optimum position — above the kit and capturing the drum kit as a whole — then a matched pair will reward you with a very coherent picture of the kit. Large-diaphragm mics such as AKG C414s and Shure's KSM44 are very popular, as are smaller 'pencil' condensers such as Neumann KM184s and SE Electronics' SE4s. The choice is huge.
