Seriously, don't.
I mean, if the drummer is so-so, you can work with that with a lot of mics...
If the room is crappy you can work with that with a lot of mics but the drummer has to make up for the room...
I'd rent an electronic set and use Battery or DFH or BFD.
Or take the drummer to larger studio.
It sounds like you're wishing that there's some magical "not suck" button on that 003 that's going to fix these problems, there isn't.
If the room is crappy, you don't want to record in there anyway unless you pad the f*ck out of it and make it an incredibly dry recording sound (which is hip) and at least with that you can then use a heavily mic'ed kit to fix balance issues the drummer has.
But it's sounding like the drummer's going to have more than just balance issues with the performance and an electronic kit with really good samples should fix all of this.
Or take the band to a local studio to cut drum tracks only. I mean, if there's one place you can't easily get "good enough" it's drums.
