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.

Hey all. I was messing around with some new plugins and daw. Since this was done on a tasam 34, 4trk reel to reel, I figured itd be a reasonable place to start. I did it with the built in laptop speakers and a little Bluetooth speaker as an alternative. It’s just the mix, I haven’t run it thru any mastering style stuff, or done any editing to the performance yet.
