| here's an idea.
You already know about the Distressor, I assume. Try this too: get a SansAmp PSA rack and use it on a send to compress just shy of distortion. Send the whole kit or just parts and then blend with the original to taste. The SansAmp is playing games with phase (when you alter distortion tone), so you should too. For examples of how addictive this becomes, buy anything mixed by Tchad Blake.
I spent years fighting engineers off who wanted to deaden my drum kits. I've been having a lot of fun lately going for just that sound! Pinstripe concert toms in the voiceover booth! Dub!
I envy your project. Enjoy.
