Drum Overhead Mics?

The rode's would be my choice, tho I haven't used them.  Rode makes decent mics, and an SDC pair is a traditional choice for overheads.  I use a pair of Oktava mc-012s and they work well.  You'll also be covered for other uses - stereo anything, acoustic guitar, other strings, hand-held percussion. 
 
The 57s probably ain't discrete enough for good overheads.  On the other hand, they are great for many other uses (snare, guitar cab, toms) and you should have at least one.
 
I've gotten great results from 3 mics - two overheads and a good pzm (not a $50 soundgrabber) on the floor (wood) about equidistant from the snare/kick nexus.  Great sound w/ a good drummer, tho not a big-kick kind of sound.  And a relatively cheap setup.  I've also gotten a pretty good sound just by using the pair of pzms in front of the drums, tho that was only because those were the only pair I had at the time.

I haven't used those Rode models but I've owned Rode mics and I like the quality, so I would lean towards the Rode pair over the other choices. 

Congrats and good luck. Let us know how they work out.

Apparently a lot of engineers use larger condenser mics as drum overheads.
 
Another choice would be the  The MXL 603. They can be bought in a matched set. 
 
 

I own and use the Rode M5s. I really like them as overheads and on acoustic guitars for fingerstyle. I also use Avantone CK-1s and they work very well. A little brighter than the Rodes.

+1 on the Studio Projects B1 for overheads.  I set them aside for a few years as I was using ribbon mics for OHs, but recently used them on a project and got a nice image of the kit.
 
If you want very natural sounding cymbals and a big low end, you might want to consider using ribbons.

Rimshot,
 Grabbed 2 pairs of these when they were about $150/pair, now I see they are on sale at $99.   They are nice for the money and come with shockmounts, and extra elastics for the shockmounts too.  I have been using this on my last several recordings for Overheads or Hat/ride mics, as well as I use one as my bottom snare mic.  Picks up that nice snap from the snare.

I use the best mics I can afford for overheads, mainly because they are attempting to pick up the entire kit. Many times, I use AKG C451B's (matched stereo pair), but other times, I will use some flat side-address condenser mics, like a couple of Shure KSM44's, AT4050's, or AKGC414's. The rest of the kit gets a D6 and AT4047 on the kick (in and out, respectively), SM57 on the Snare (top), Audix D1 under the snare, some Sennheiser MD421-U5's on toms, an AT3030 on the hi-hat, and a Royer R101 for room mic, if not a tube mic. 
 
This is a lot to buy, but the point is to find the best matched mics you can for overheads. Even your best vocal mics may be worth a try. If you have a semi-good stereo pair of mics and one really good vocal mic, use the vocal mic in the center. Nothing wrong with 3 overheads if phase is easy to manage for you. The rest of the kit is typically to bring out only what the overheads don't reveal in the kit (or the drummer), so those mics may be more "utility" than used for character.
 
Sidenote: More experienced drummers hit the cymbals less and with a lighter hand, hitting the toms harder.  "Cymbals are your friends. The toms are the ENEMY!" - I forget who said that!  Great drummers also know how different a kit may be tuned for studio vs. stage, what heads to use, what sticks, and how to play. This will make more difference in the overheads than anything else you'll work with.

A little off the topic..
I wonder if those Tascam mikes  are close to the same as what are built into the portable recorders. 
I use the DR40 for recording the local choir 3 times a year.  It has 2 XLR inputs so the first year I used it I also set a matched set of these AKG condensers up on stands further out. I'm sorry can't remember the model, I borrowed them but he said they were worth around $400 for the pair. 
Anyhow, back at the studio, the Tascam's built in mikes had the clearest recording. So now I just use it by itself. I used to drag my laptop, interface etc. For $150 forget the mikes, buy the whole thing.

The C414 is the most popular I have seen in the studio world.  It is a good multi purpose LDC and tend to be the nicest non-valve mic in most studios.  I feel there are better sounding options though.  The Sennheiser MKH8040 is the best I have ever heard.  With two of those and a large diaphragm dynamic on the kick you can call it a day.  
 
For a budget though.  Look up "Little Blondie" mics.  

BTW, as a long time studio drummer in Los Angeles, The AKG 414's were widely used for overheads way back when as well as U47 and U87's in the nicer studios.  When I produced and recorded a jazz album for drummer Billy Higgins, I used all SM57's on his kit including overheads along with a 421 on his kick.  The album is called "Mr. Billy Higgins".

Hey Jeff - good to hear!  My budget is so tight that I really try to maximize by purchases for multi-purpose use.  The Sampson kit seemed fun to have if the condensers worked by I am convinced the M5's are the right choice for me now.  Your feedback helps reinforce that too.
 
I had some fun researching a two mic drum setup.  Some of them sound good.  Here's a good YouTube on it:

Here is a pic of Joe Morello with I think a U87 above his kit:

I use a pair of Octava mc-12's also and I like them a lot. They were all the rage for SDC's awhile back.
 

 
I like them alot for OH duty. Full and smooth! If you need a super bright sound, they'll take a +5 dB, 10 kHz shelf beautifully, but I usually leave the high end as is.
 
I don't like them for other stuff though (guitar, percussion etc.), too brash and "heavy" sounding for lack of a better word.
