The other thing I'll add is that about the room mic. I don't know if you're using it but if so it takes a little work for it to work with the other drum tracks. It'll definitely adds some of that bottom snare mic into the mix. So consider dropping it if it's adding something you don't want. Also, to minimize the perception of the bottom snare I muted both snare mics during the verses where he's just hitting the kick. It tightens up the drum sound a little and removes those sympathetic snare rattles from the listener's mind.
It doesn't have to sound good. People just need to think it sounds good.
