Fvck with it!!!!!!!!!!

Try tracking some stuff with the tiles in place... then remove some of the tiles under the peak and see [HEAR!!] what that does... then put them back and try removing tiles around the perimeter of the room... then try a pattern of tiles in/tiles out... or pull them out of 1/2 the ceiling but leave them in the other half [the permutations are nearly endless]... the more you mess with it the more you'll be able to change your room to suit the vibe of a song/'album/etc.

I have to say I'm exceptionally envious!!!

Best of luck with it... just don't forget to breathe and have fun while you're learning how to alter the character of your tracking space!!!

Also... don't be in a hurry!!! It can/should/will take years of experimentation to really get a total handle on all of the power you have available to you... and then there is other stuff you can mess with like putting up absorbtion and/or diffusion on the surfaces above the drop ceiling part... again, the permutations are nearly endless!!

Peace.
