This^^^ is worth some experimentation. In my Nashville studio, I always recorded room mics, but rarely ever used them in a mix. Instead, I would send to a stereo AUX track and use a room reverb. 9 times out of 10, IK Classik room verb worked great(pop/rock/country). Once in a while, an EMT plate worked better(bluegrass or "old" country). My studio had a smallish drum room(more of a booth) and there's not much point in recording a space that doesn't sound killer
