Sounds like a nice project, Jon.

All I have to add are some general ideas.

Maybe some 1176 all-or-several-buttons-in for a snare+kick mult panned up the middle.

Snare + kick to a 160 with just a touch of GR also.

I don't know what the console is. Assuming SSL, for more punch/presence use the SSL channel comps on each drum mic, set threshold all the way clockwise, slow attack, and move ratio to taste, usually a low ratio does it.

The channel gates at high threshold and 2-6 dB of reduction are handy if you have too much spill, ring or resonance.

How big was the room?
