Compression is your friend.

I have a buddy who used to get good results by doing this w/ that mic that looks like a head . . . the binarual sphere I thinkn it's called.

I also have been hired a few times by a band to do kinda like a sound replacement for midi drums. I have great individual samples from discrete drums that have seperate room sounds. IMHO it doesn't come close to the real thing . . . but the band is very happy w/ it.
