am i going about this all wrong???

[nero's lung]

to anyone who can help...

i just moved into an office 10'3"x 15'6" and a ceiling height of 12'6".
i want to set the room up for recording drums, the floor shakes with every footstep, so i'm considering building a raised floor (something i read about in a magazine) also i will have to divide the room so i can use the rest of it as an actual office (with a desk and bookshelves)

Question 1: should the drum tracking area be larger than half the room size to get a better sound, and if so, should i use some kind of partition... like an office cubicle?

Question 2: the ceiling is a typical office ceiling... suspended ceiling i believed shared by another 2 offices... any suggestions on soundproofing???

the big problem is i don't have much money to spend...
