not dead like metallica's first but not big like motley crue.....Almost like Machine Heads drums or Pantera sounding, but i know that they are mostly all sampled in.. smaller the room can cause a phase issue correct?

Well, There is always going to be phase happening when you're using as many mics as with drums. It's just a question of how much. If the room has a lot of parallel walls it's going to be bad. If not, with some acoustic treatment a smaller room could be pretty good!
my studio is being built right now as we speak and that is the only make shift room i could do to record a demo for a band? what would be some good ideas? like renting a hall or just doing it in my living room with foam on the walls?? my studio wont be done until july

Seems as though I heard for a live room you don't want less than 35% of the surfaces of the room treated and no more than 75%.
