Recording drums in large rooms is fun and endangered, but easy to revive. There is not much sound from the room itself nowadays in recordings. What really makes the instrument is the acoustics of the room together with the instrument itself. Something that is forgotten today when recording acoustic instruments is the sound reference among todays artificial soundscape; how does in fact a drumset sound when your are standing in front of it? If the drummer is proficient with a functioning drumset in a proper room there are no worries. The only job that is left for the engineer is to put up mics and press record; easy!
This room on the picture is not dead, it is very live and alive. These days, engineers have made compromises in their choices of acoustic environments.
