Compression is your friend.

2. Distortion is your friend.

3. Compression is your friend. See above.

4. EQ is your friend. Specifically, low-passing.
Mmm, lots of new friends there. Thanks for the great ideas. I think re-micing the drums and running them through my Tascam 4-track and mixing it in are going to really help.
