Sorry, no pics. Just get them out of the drummer's sticks way, equal distance from toms if it's miking 2 toms instead of 1. Small or large condensers work fine. Expect to boost low-end to compensate for the loss of proximity effect on the toms.
I had a lot of success with using omis as tom mics but 25% fat from the toms and 75% far from the cymbals. Works great on 2 toms and 2 floors. Dial in more high and you get more cymbals, dial in more lows and you get more toms. A 3-6 dB expander on highs or lows can help if mix ain’t right...
