Recording drums to sound big in a small room for hard rock/metal projects

I would like some feedback. I just finished an iso room in my studio to track in. I’m a drummer and I will never have the square foot or height to track ambient drums. I’m ok with that and I’m fine with adding room post tracking. I guess the biggest challenge I face is getting the drums sound big enough for hard rock/metal projects.

MEtallica ...and justice for all

question for y'all. I have heard rumors about this newly remixed version of the justice album for some time now, but am hesitant about going out and buying a 4th copy of the album and have it just be a brighter mix with less hisses and so forth. Im looking for the one people often refer to as "...and justice for Jason" with the bass guitar mixed back in properly. Does this actually exist?

Power Addiction - Metal/Post-Grunge Song

Hi all,

Working on a new song idea. Lyrics and soundcloud link are below. The drums are EZ Drummer 2, DAW is Reaper, vocals are all by me, Guitar is a PRS copy played through a Zoom G3 with an ENGL amp sim, solo is a placeholder as I am not a solo guitarist. I plan to add a proper solo later. Bass is MIDI using Trilian.

Critic on the song and mix so far are most welcome:
