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.

Room Treatment Priorities

I'm about to set up my first studio for mixing. It's a small, roughly sqaure room. I want to set up enough treatment so that I can be comfortable that the acoustics of the room are not affecting my mix to any noticeable extent.

Good Acoustic Room Treatment

As I read more and more on this forum I find that people stress having a well treated room to record vocals in.
