Audio Guru's: Best way to use these mic's

I could sure use some education on 2 sets of mic's that I want to use to record my kit.

I will be using 4 mic's, and already have the bass drum mic set up.

Can someone tell me the best places for these 2 mic's. I'll probably put:
- 2nd Mic about 3 feet above the snare
- 3rd mic at the snare.
- 4th either overhead above the floor toms, or on the ground between the BD batter and floor toms.

I know not everyone has used these mic's, but I'm hoping with the frequencies you can tell me their best use. Being an audio newb, I don't have a clue as to what they mean:
