Recording drums under less than ideal situations, please help.

Hi! I'm going to be recording a drummer to tracks already done. He's an excellent drummer with excellent gear, including mics.

I've got 2 choices - record in a reverberant garage (American style, 2-car, sheet rock, high ceiling, and pullup door), or record outside. It's in the country so outside noises won't be a problem.

Building a large wood room to record drums

Ok so I understand that many professional studios use big open wooden rooms to record drums in to get a more punchy sound. I happened to come across an article that said if you go out and buy plywood to put over the walls (and floor if there's carpet) that it will help achieve something close to that sound you can achieve in the professional studio.
