    Here are the drum files with the untreated room:

    Room is 22' wide 33' long with 14' ceilings with 2 4'x8x8" gobos behind the kit to try to take some of the room out of the close mics.

    Hopefully this is enough information to paint a picture of what you are hearing in the files.

    I'll try to get some pictures for perspective once I clean up everything.

    Cheers,

    Jeff
