Check out a Senheiser 604 at your local music store A/B'ing it with the mic 
you use now. (I cut off  the mounting lug)  Excelent gain before feedback. 
This is a small dynamic drum mic. I tried this mic kind of by accident while 
on tour in Holland as suggested by a sound tech. this was the single 
quickest solution to feedback that I've found. After that I aquired a sabine 
feedback eliminater I have the fbx2400 which is somewhat expensive but you 
can possibly get a solo version much cheaper on e-bay.With that combo I can 
get stupid loud. One of these days I want to A/B the kinder with the Sabine 
but I'm not in the position to get the Kinder myself
