Someone above mentioned how they start with the overheads and then accent with the close mic'd tracks. I usually start the same way, start with the OH's and then bring up the other tracks (panned same as the overhead stereo track but maybe alittle more exaggerated). Since I start with the OH's in the XY above the center of the kit, my mix perspective then becomes imagine myself in the drummers seat to get the panning proper, putting yourself in the drummers seat helps you get that fat sound. Snare a little left of center, tom's straight ahead and to the right, etc etc
