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.

well dr.harmonica, even though I dont post real often, I've been here for a while now and it's the first time I see someone lacking respect toward other members of this great community. I sincerely hope you'll correct that attitude in the future or leave this forum forever.


Our prod went well for the micing and we finally found some good old sm58, which were better off! The thing is we wanted to have all drum trax separated and were short on dynamic mics...we found a place that rented 3 mics for 10$ each. not a great choice, and 57 would've been better off but eh, it's just a preprod!

nt4 - overheads
57 - snare
57 - hh
57 - bd
58- toms (x3)
my drummer didnt take the 18" floor tom for the occasion...and the space where we were recording.

case closed.

keep this community clean!
