Close mic's are your friend, room mic in sh!t rooms need MAJOR surgery to become even SLIGHTLY useable IMHO.
For me, distance is key, a mic inside an overturned bucket in a far coner can be better than one out in the room...
A mic just outside the drum booth door, equed & compressed can ALSO sound better than a mic inside the room.
My tip is to scheme on how to falcely generate 'distance' somehow, point mic's AWAY from the drums in far corners....
In one large room I used to use in London, I disliked the sound, so I tossed eiderdowns (duvets) over the track lighting rails to try to cut down on the sound bouncing around... it worked...
.....my 2 euro cents
