What would be the ideal kind of room mic to use in this situation, just to pick up a little atmosphere in the recording? It would be a pretty loud rock band, bass/guitar/drums. The space is pretty small, with plywood walls and a concrete floor. Lots of reflections, very loud space.
 
AT-4033.Just my opinion. I have some OK mics and if was going to put up one mic for some reason, that'd be it. I use one out in front of a drum kit about 6 feet as kind of a room mic that I mix back in with the tight mics and when the 4033 is solo'd it sounds damn good all by itself.
 
Yeah, I'll second Tex's suggestion on the ECM8000. It's cheep and good. Find a spot in the room that sounds good and stick it there. Omni pattern will pick up the whole room.
