I actually do this on occasion. I have a number of nice pine panels that I will throw down or alongside a musician, say - under an acoustic guitar or alongside a shaker/tambo, etc. - and I often put a piece of birch panelling under the snare side of the kit to get a bit of projection. This usually works out pretty well.
Ripping up the carpet is a bit extreme, though I've been thinking about the idea. A nicely finished concrete floor with cool rugs could actually look pretty nice as well. It would be cold though...
