I don't think 1 foot will make any difference. The guy at auralex told me that diffusors are only really effective at a distance of at least 10 feet+ so the distance from the drums to the ceiling is only 4-5 feet or in your case 5-6. Although theories and reality are not always one and the same so it is definitely worth a shot. Any suggestions on the most practical way to attach the diffusors to the ceiling (with the foam inside) by the way?
