Then don't put the mics over the drums... "overheads" are great when you have [minimum] twelve foot, [4 meter] ceilings... other than that I would suggest 'underheads'... which are mics out in front of the kit roughly halfway between the ceiling and the floor in approximately an equilateral triangle to the snare... sometimes it works... other times the room sucks to bad to be used for any purpose what so ever... in which case, run a snake to another room and try that [or drop back and punt... whatever your instinct tells you to do is probably the right course of action].

Best of luck with it.
