Due to our practice room being demolished, we were forced to go to a commercial practice studio. Although the studio has bigger rooms, due to availability, we're in the smallest room. It's tiny (for us), & every surface is carpeted. It's as dead as hell, & the only realistic space that can take my drums, is boxed in, & more dead than the Dead Sea itself. Don't get me wrong, great people, great practice studio in terms of service, but that room is a sound killer.
Here's a clip of last night's practice. Ok, my kit could seriously do with a tune (I've had zero time this week), but that room, above any room I've ever experienced, just sucks the tone & life right out of my drums. It really affects my mood, & the pleasure I get from playing. Worse, it steers how I play - ack!

Excuses - first run through of this track. Experimenting with beats/not playing the original groove, speeds up, etc - but was best example of how the toms are affected.
Q3 is very close BECAUSE I HAVE NO OTHER OPTION!
