most of all the others leave you with close, o/h, and room.
the close is to me, too close and the room, too big for a lot of music i do.
plus, it's rather hard to get the other instruments into the same "room" as the drums.
DR9.
Try unloading all the kit but say a snare of bass drum. Render the mix of the individual drum, with as much or as little of the room as you want. Bring that back into the mix and reload the other parts of the kit. Superior drummer actually includes this in its' programme. You can alter the sends to the room mics from each part of the kit separately. For that reason alone i shall be upgrading when funds allow.

One trick i found works. Is to use a dry render of the Slingerland snare from EZY mixed with the tight Rogers. You can drop the level of the snare quite considerably on the EZY drummer as the dry rendered one provides most of the body. The tight one gives it some snap and room. That helps glue the kit together as whole.
