Set up your stereo overheads in a Blumlein Pair configuration and place a microphone inside the bass drum (or just outside), to avoid additional bleeding; and a (preferable) dynamic mic on the snare, about 3 fingers from the top head.
You can move the Blumlein Pair around. Maybe go a little further away from the drums, to get more room, or move closer to get more detail, or use it as traditional overhead mics. Play around, see how it sounds.
