use a low pass and a high pass filter on the drum mix then the volume before you use any ambience. When it already sounds like some thing far away then add your ambience (a plate might surprise you) and use the same filters there (put the ambience in with the drum mix). this is an opportunity to use an upward expander for a creative purpose!
I suggest 400 and 1.2 kHz as the rolloff points, 12 dB/octave.
McDSP F2 is a resonant HFP/LFP that can help you tune in the distance, I use it in parallel with compressors all the time.
