I agree with all that was said above. If you record drums that sound like crap, don't record that way again! try something new! If you have a system when you record, then you need to make some changes.

Also have you ever thought about using samples? Sometimes I'll throw in a sampled kick or snare when my results are less than fantabulous (added to the original kick and snare sound) just to bring in a better sound. It usually sounds natural.
