Yeah...kill the ceiling as much as possible.....use the other rooms to put distant mics to make the drums more alive. Distance is depth. Their are no rules anymore. It doesn't matter. Get a great band to do great tunes in the rooms and your set. Just don't deaden all the walls or you'll have boxing sounding crap all over your mix.

The wall deadening is something to watch out for.I found Realtraps for lowend absorbtion work wonders on the walls and corners for buildup,but do not deaden the room too much.I use the Microtraps above the source for ceiling issues.
The 7' ceiling is far from ideal but I work with it.Fletcher turned me on to an underhead mic placement for drums that turned out rather nice and I never would of thought of it.
If you get players that will adapt to the situation and watch your mic placement, you can make it happen.
