pretty common to have the drums in the big room - amps in the dead room. you can easily have pass throughs so that all band members are standing in the live room playing - with amps isolated. then everyone has their own furman station and can dial in their own personal mix. or the guitar people can also be in the dead room, but have a floor to ceiling sliding door to see the drummer clearly - which you'd want if you have to do some sort of feedback-y part or something that can't be done when you're out in the live room.
you'd be suprised w/the isolation you can get btw a bass amp and gtr amp both blasting in the dead room of B.
there are some pics from a session i did a while back
here. shows drums and bass player in live room tracking, where the other gtr player liked being isolated.
then again, if you're going for a dead drum sound... flip it around. you can probably do what you want to - just talk it over w/whoever's recording it.
