Help recording kick drum without a "traditional" kick mic

I'm doing a remote gig this weekend and I'll be forced to record a drum kit without any of my usual go to kick mics.

The options will thus be:

Neumann TLM103
Rode NT1A
Rode NT2A
Shure SM57
Shure SM58
AT3035

Will any of these cut it in a pinch or am I going to have to resort to laying in some kick samples to fill things out?
