Ethan is 100% right... make your first priority getting rid of small-room early reflections.
I recorded my bands drummer on nice-sounding ludwig kit in a crappy room. On a $0 budget I losely draped fluffy blankets above and in front of the kit. This is definitely a temporary solution, but it's a good start. We didn't know about bass traps at the time, but looking back, we were okay with them.
I would say... embrace your limitations and go for that close-mike drum sound ?
