imo, it can't be done. we did track a pass of drums thru the apogees, i'm going to try and dig up the 44/front of kit track so people can hear this one source side by side.
on the 44->burl track, you can actuually hear that the tom is closer to the mic than the kick. it's not a volume thing, it's a front-to-back dimensionality, a depth. depth in a mono source is a precious an rare thing. the apogee track, otoh, had no such quality, it was simply a flat picture of the drums from that angle.
i also want to say that there is entirely too much emphasis on how things sound, and not enough attention to how those sounds behave. the reason i posted all the individual tracks was so that people could mix them and see for themselves how the sounds interact. this is less a function of raw, plotted freq response and more an amalgam of all the attributes, from transient response to depth to some other elusive and mysterious qualities i have no words for.
mixing these tracks is a pleasure, and it's ridiculously easy. there's a lot more at work here than how things sound.
