What is a good way to test the room?

Record a hit song in it.

So, I got an old Tama kit in my studio until my Ludwig arrives.I had a couple friends over, bass player,drummer and another guitar.I broke out the 66 Radio King and warmed up the B-18n.
The room sounds great, the first thing I noticed was we could still talk to each other while the drums were being played.I have not been using the B-18 because the speaker is either blown or really weak, no problem yesterday, volume at about 10.30 was more than enough lovely fat bass. Everyone could hear everyone and even though there was no PA we were able to sing and still hear ourselves.
I stepped out of the studio to take a leak and shut the doors and the wife was in the front room happily watching TV Very Happy

So far so good.

My drums and cymbals arrived yesterday, they are beautiful, money spent well. My drummer is coming in from Panama on Monday to set it up and tune it. I also got my API 2500 and SM57/Tab-Funkenwerk Mic from Mercenary,oooooooo pretty API.All I need now is the Lucas limiter and I am done Very Happy

I also had to order another patch-bay, one is not enough.Needless to say I am extra broke Confused

Set and tuned.
I will have sound in the live room by Saturday evening, hopefully the Mac will be done too.
The drums sound wonderful in the room.

The China came with a few other older cymbals that I purchased some time back. My drummer set it up. The other cymbals that are mounted are all Paiste traditional thins,16"/18" crash 22"ride and 14" Hi-Hats, they sound really nice, not to loud.The China does not do much for me.
