Recording Drums In A Bad Sounding Room

Today we're making the best out of a less than ideal situation. I've talked about how important rooms are to a drum sound, but what can we do if we're stuck with poor acoustics?

I was quite pleased with the results, and I hope some of these ideas are helpful to you.

Let me know what you think, and thanks for watching!
