Ez-up tent for drum booth? Your thoughts?

Hey,

I've been looking for a solution to acoustically treat my 9 ft. ceiling without tearing the crap out of my house. My neighbor has one of those ez-up tents in his front yard and it got me to thinking: why couldn't i set one of those up in my living room, build some 703 or 705 panels to mount on it, and create a drum cloud for my ceiling/drum booth? seems like a pretty cheap way to do this and setup should be very easy.
these booths are 10 x 10 and have adjustable height. used ones can be purchased for as low as $50.
to me, this seem like an incredible solution to my problem, so i wanted to share it here and also see if anyone has tried anything similar, has other suggestions to offer etc?

your thoughts?

Seems like a lot of trouble compared to a few eye-screws into the ceiling joists...

that was my first idea...LOL. i actually have moveable 703 panels in my control room i've hooked up with hook screws and chain and it works great.
i don't think a few (12 or so) eye screws would fly with my girlfriend as this would be in my living room which doubles as my drum room. it seemed like a perfect temporary solution.
i'm trying to think this through before i act and see if there would be any disadvantages.
