#1: nothing does lo-fi compression better than a camcorder's built-in mic. turn your monitors up REALLY LOUD, record them with the camera placed well back in the room, maybe even out in the hall.

#2: run your processed loops thru a short room-sounding verb, get them fairly wet, then squash the living piss out of this blend with an aggressively fast, high ratio compressor.

#3: layer it up. every modern producer worth his salt knows that the most effective way to create unique new textues is to creatively blend tired old ones. get on the web and spend an hour searching for free, grungy, lo-fi drum loops. sift thru your treasures and find on or two that layer up over your clean sounds to create the groove that works. odds are the loop will provide lovely grain, texture, and motion, while your ez drummer tracks will provide clarity and punch. mix as needed by the song.
