Well, you could get lucky, but it seems unlikely.

All kinds of noises surface when you start soloing drums and listening closely: squeak, rattles, bad tuning, wierd stuff... you'll never hear all that if the drums are in the same room, they're just too damn loud.

I guess if you have absolutely no choice you could do it, but it will probably sound like crap - and will be hard to hear with headphones, esp, if you don't know what yer doing ( )
