Hey Fraz,
I think the second channel would be best for you. Coming from my own experience with Guitar Hero microphones (the ones you get with the game. Yes, I used that for recording), which are, out of all estimation, condenser microphones (instrument mics), the BSB mic should definitely record ok. The GH mic records perfectly fine and at a really, really cheap price, so I couldn't imagine what a mic like the BSB could do. I'd try experimenting. The -10dB sounds like it would capture the drums very well, although it'd capture everything out front; i.e. the toms (and snare, to a point, based on my own experience) would be a little weak. The cymbals will be prevalent and the kick will stand out on the 2nd channel, not so much the 1st. The 3rd channel, however, might be your best overall choice; but since it's a "live sounding" channel it could ultimately depend on the acoustics of the room you record in. Best of luck!
