You can't have too many toys. Looks like a nice room - wish I had all that space. I have everything crammed into a 10 x 20 room, and half of it is furniture. (Desk, shelves, couch & love seat) Not much room for company, but I have recorded as many as 5 pieces at once with great success. (I'd rather just do electronics stuff, but acoustic recordings ARE possible.)
I never do "live" drums - they have to use my Roland digital set.... there is just NO room or separation for an acoustic kit. The Rolands record great anyway...in alot of ways, they are better than a mic'd kit.
Now, I have 64 different drum setups at my fingertips, and I can record as late as I need to without disturbing anyone, or worrying about bleedthrough. (Except for that infernal TAPPING noice !!!!!!)
Can't use open mics at the same time without a sacrifice!
