I'm messing with this now and the drums don't strike me as being that bad. Or at least not hard to work with. I'm not using the "main mics". I don't know how it was recorded at all but I'm assuming the Kick/Snare mic it probably a mic under the snare that also picking up some kick. I'm not a fan of the snare as is but it's a fair sound. I've certainly heard worse drums. Living room or not. I haven't felt the need to break out samples yet.
In the end not every recording is perfect. As mixers we have to be able to work with and get the best out of all the tracks we get. This seems like a good opportunity to try to polish some tracks we find difficult.

It doesn't have to sound good. People just need to think it sounds good.
