Treatment - Cloud for a drywall ceiling

Not sure if this is the correct forum to post this, so my apologies if it's not. My space isn't the greatest, but I work it decently. I have about 20 pieces of GIK Acoustic treatment on all my walls and corners, so it's not 100% horrible. The biggest issue is that I have a 7' ceiling. I know that I need to treat it especially above my drumkit and my mix position. All the treatment sites offer products to hang a cloud, but I truly don't have 6" to 2' of space to offer for these types of products. Emailing a few people simply results in none-responses. Anyone have any idea if any company out there sells products for limited-space ceilings, or have you made anything yourself? Any help is welcome!!! Thank you!

    You could probably do some fairly low cost custom work. Cut out the drywall on the ceiling to create recesses up into the ceiling joists. Re-seal it by putting in heavy plastic up into the recesses and down to the drywall. Stuff the newly opened up areas full of rockwool and put up a fine chicken wire mesh, stapled to the joists, to hold it all in place.

    Then put up a fabric covering over that, probably stapled onto a 1x1 frame or something like that. Screw it into the joists to hold it in place. It could look quite decent, not like a hack job at all. 

    That would be a bit of a PITA, but it would probably be about as good as anything costing a lot more you could do, and it would effectively raise your ceiling height int hose areas a bit, by however tall the joists are, which might help a little. Sometimes ceiling joists can be 6" or so.

    What's above this space?
