The AT2020s are okay. They do get a little fizzy in the top end, but that's extremely common in that price range. You may want to take a look at the Karma K10s. They are extremely inexpensive and pretty damn good if you've got a pad and like an aggressive drum sound.

Myself I couldnt stand the Beta 52 on the kick so i picked up an AKG D112 and now use the 52 for a floor tom mic. I like this arrangement much better.

Ive heard 2020's and didnt care for them too much, but i did hear a recording in a very dead room with the 2020's that i really liked alot.

These mics seem to accentuate smashing and trashing sound that annoys me so much.
