i'd be interested in your mic placement for the drums - especially overheads.
and what you did in your mix.

I have the snare mic aimed towards the center of the head, the tom mics are as close to the edge of the drum as possible. Kick drum is on a boom inside the drum pointed directly at the beater and I have the resonant head removed. The overheads are bout 2 feet directly above the cymbals and angled in slightly towards the drums.
The mix has compression and reverb on the master drum track with a touch of EQ. Each individual track has some gating and compression. I've used a lot of the stock presets but I altered the verb a bit by pulling down the wet control slightly.
