Default Bad Drum Sound

Hey,

I am guilty of all the things not to do described in this forum, can someone help? Brandon?

Issues:
Small room - I get a ton of bleed into the snare and bass mic. It takes me forever to mix it out. I have been recording in a smallish room with glass doors. From reading the forum I assume I am getting a ton of reflection and that is what I am hearing. I can open the doors, and or move the drums. I assume that should help. Thoughts?

Tom ring - So bad when I mix it out I get a weak tom sound. Advice? I try tuning, but have resisted taping the heads up. What is working best in other home studios?

Too many mics - I am close miking 8 channels because I can - what would you recommend. I want powerful bass snare that cracks, and toms that rattle entrails... Please advise

Thanks for any help...
