I think you can get good drum sounds in any room as long as you're not trying to capture a certain ambience. If you needed a real hall sound on the drums even the best verb on the market may not work depending on how picky you are. If you've got a small space 15 by 15 or less get rid of flutter echos and use anything to get the bass under control. If there are rooms adjacent to your room mic them and compress those and mix them in with the room. Yeah it's great to have a a non-parrallel room with brick and wood thats floated on rubber but there are so many variables. I like smaller rectangular rooms. There tighter and I can add the verb later. Height can be an issue. The mics mix themselves with more space. Then again you can close mic the cymbals with hyper or cardoid mics that will work. Listen to the Strokes record. ANYTHING can get on the radio if the song is catchy and the singer sells it.
