Rode Nt1 Applications, is suitable for toms? Options

[eaks]

Hi, we're gonna run a pre-prod recording for our band and we're short on mics, all we have left is three nt1 and three toms to mic, 14", 16", 18".

I know it's not a common use for this kind of mic, but is it doable without risks?

thank you.

it can work, but it might be a better idea to rearrrange the mics on the kit. What other mics are you using? Also, if it's just a pre-prod, there's realy no need to mic the toms.
The problem with using the nt1 on the toms is that 1: its super sensitive so you might need a pad on the mic-pre, and 2: that it will probably pick up the snare and almost everything else in the kit almost as loud...
For most of my pre-pod, I use 3 mics on the kit. 421 or d112 on kick. 57 on snare and nt1 on OH or room...
