Drum Room

Hey guys, Right now I'm trying to record drums, but I just cant get the sound I'm looking for. My kit is in a 10x11 room with heavy foam and blankets. The rest of my house is completely open. I was thinking of moving my drums to the living room. OK, so heres my question, does the room really have a big effect on a close miked drum kit? Should I move my kit to record?

Trying to make a very cheap, rather small isolation booth.

I honestly have one of the worst acoustic environments you could have in my room...10 guitars hanging on a single wall. There's a futon, curtains and such, but nothing that really reduces flutter and echo. Terribly for trying to record trumpet, loud guitar, really, anything.
