Hey guys, been around for awhile, I do a lot of research on here but don't post a lot. Anyways I have had a studio a little over five years, improving anyway I can when I can. One huge limitation has always been my live room due to the 7.5 ft low ceilings. I have been doing some home renos and spoke to the contractors today about an idea I had. My original idea was to vault the ENTIRE ceiling in my 16x17 room but that was a little out of my upgrade budget. I then had the idea just to vault the area where the drums reside. I will post an image to better detail the idea. I just want some input as to whether doing just part of the room like this will be worth my money (I really think it is) I was going to get more mics and pres but why bother when they will always be tracking the same boxy space. I am always frustrated with the result of my drums regardless of the amount of time I put into mic placement, tuning, etc. The sound is box, harsh, and constricted. Please have a look at the diagram,
Any feedback would be great
