It is an idea that I thought I should give it a try. Propably someone tried it before. It is just like putting a stage monitor. But this time it is a subwoofer reproducing 40hz range. you might put the subwoofer infront of the kick or search for a better place close to the kick. You might also make a tunel like thing with carpets for isolating the kick and the sub.
Then send back the kick signal you are recording into the recording room. Deal with phase issues. High pass all mics at 45/50 Hz as you should. But not the kick mics(the beater and the body mics for kick) or you might put a mic pointing to the sub (if you dare) and hope the sub frequancy leakege will not hurt..
That's the idea. Results may be horrible.. (too much boomyness) Or you might have just captured a a drum sound with a very puncy and also deep kick.

Just brain storming..
