There are a few things you can do.

1. Play your drum tracks back through speakers in a garage, hallway, bathroom, or wherever the mood strikes you. Throw up TONS OF MICS. I'm talkin sm57s, wollensacks, ribbons of any kind, whatever you can find. Pick and choose what you like...Use these re-recorded tracks in tandem with your "clean" drum tracks. Compression is your friend.

2. Distortion is your friend.

3. Compression is your friend. See above.

4. EQ is your friend. Specifically, low-passing.
