For a "live-ish" room that small, I'd deaden things up pretty good first. Then add in a few diffusors.

A room that small isn't going to have a good "live" sound for typical drums. You have to make the liveliness artificially - either with carefully chosen reflective surfaces (shapes and angles) or electronically.

In an almost totally dead room, a pair of PZM's on the opposite wall fed to a delay and then to a reverb can make it sound like the room is "biger" and "livelier". The tools to de this electronically are good and inexpensive these days.
