Try an omni pattern mic.
Tip:
If you want more detail in the transients, use a condenser mic. AKG 414 and similar are condensers.
If you want less detail in the transients, use a ribbon. Many here have already mentioned a few.
If you need more of the decay, you use a compressor that has a fast attack, and med release.
Cheers
Howling at the neighbors. Hoping they have more mic cables.

Randyman is on point, here...
Coles 4038, AKG D19, or a functional omni above the snare, 2-3' feet up....
get up with it

I like an Oktava MC012 on a floor / desk stand pointing at the bottom snare head, positioned in between the floor tom and kick beater head.

I've gotten a natural sound with not too much room by putting an Earthworks omni kinda between the snare and the kick not too far from the drummer's kick knee. Biggest danger is picking up any indigestion the drummer might have.
