Drum recording tips needed for a small tracking booth

Hi,

I'm about to record a drum kit. Since my tracking room is a small one (2.0 m wide 5.0 m long 2.5 m high) there's no other chance than placing the kick drum so close to the wall.

What kind of problems may occur in this situation and what are your recommendations to overcome.

Thanks

recording for drums? please help

what is the cheapest recording device for a computer than will record 10 drum mics to seperate tracks? ive been searching the internet and have yet to find a decent priced one. the 1010LT is a good price for what it is, but it isn't 10 IN its only 8IN and 2 MIDI (which i won't use). or maybe a solution is i could use 2 5IN cards? someone please help

I know there have been recording drums questions check this

I have an old CB percussion kit. It has been refitted with all new remo pinstripe heads and a newly tuned snare, cymbals and pedals/hardware. I cant get a decent recording out of it at all, i dont know what I'm doign wrong. the bass drum maybe too narrow for the bass response i want or the mic could be positioned wrong.
