drumroom sound
What kind of sound should I aim for, when treating/building a 3m x 6m x 3,5m (h) room for drum/perc. recording?
Should I make it completely dead with wideband absorbers or is there a way to make a room this size to have a "own, nice sound" ?

Its just a very, very loud place at the moment

The room isn't exactly symmetrical ( 1 of the walls and the ceiling)
Walls are 26mm gypsum, concrete floor etc..

What would be the smartest thing to do?

I do own some nice ambience plugins for my daw...

If you want to go for that 'huge room' sound then small rooms aren't the way to go.

Small rooms have a lot of problems with reflections and nodes so I'd say go for a decent amount of broadband absorption and bass trapping and definitely get something on the concrete floor
