How do I Mic drums? I have 2 inputs

Hello,



I am in a band, and I going to record a live drum set. I have a audio interface with 2 inputs (Scarlett 2i2) and an SM57 mic.



With only 2 inputs to work with, I have one SM57 mic and I am going to buy another mic.



I have been told that the best way to do this with only 2 inputs, is to buy two condenser mics, one out in front of the kick and one overhead to get the high and the low sounds.



If I do that, I heard that condensers are sensitive to pressure waves that may cause it to blow, my drummer plays hard (genre is pop-punk, alternative) so he smacks the sh*t out of his set surprisingly. Would that be enough to blow a condenser mic that is set up a few feet in front of the kick or above?



I have $150-$200 to spend on a condenser mic. (broke college kid)



Let me know of any ideas, about the best way to go about it with just 2 mics.



THANK YOU :-)
