One thing that wll help is a real consistent drummer. Grab some big sticks..... 2B Rock.... whatever. Tune the drum pretty loose with a little bit of muffling. If you've got a dynamic mic that is a little bottom heavy, try it out. I'll use a ATM63HE, got the snap of a 57, with less honk and more balls. Light compression going in.... thats that.... Oh yeah. a nice room would help too. You should try to get some of the sound from a room mic.

So,
Big Ass snare.
Big ass sticks,
Play it hard
choose the right mic

salt and pepper to taste.

Thats just me. it seems illogical to crank the skin if you want a fat, big sound.
