well, you can try, if you have extra mic stands, hanging blankets from them for a little baffling.

have you recorded drums there before?

if not, do some test recordings with the drums in different positions...one thing you dont want to do is point the kick drum flat at a wall...into an opposing corner from a distance, or at an angle into a wall is ok.

just move the drums around until you get a useable sound, then mark the positions with tape or something removeable, then move the drums until you are sure that you've found "the spot"
