Then I suggest you record in an anechoic chamber.
Seriously, one point of M/S stereo IS to capture room/ambience information, and the room often plays a big role in drum sounds.
The
M(iddle) mic, depending on distance to the source, and whether it's omni, cardioid, hypercardioid or even fig.-8 will give you a more or less direct/focussed drumsound.
The decoded
S(ide) tracks will give you the room sound.
By varying the M to S ratio, you will change the liveness of the recording.
Increasing the percieved size of the room through compression also works with M/S.
Different compression and EQ schemes for M and S can give interesting results, too.
