One thing that is the reality of recording these drums in music. These are very hard to record in the context of studio recording... in an orchestra, they will sit properly in the mix, recorded in a studio separately, I always have the need to record a clean and high gain/subtle harmonic distortion, to hear and mix the drum effectively. The Attack makes it difficult to compress, which is necessary, as the initial attack is effectively going to either be all you hear, or you'll need to squash the dynamics a little, and with the gain up high, this is the sound that you want. Save a clean channel and then copy it and then add the sans amp plugin In pro tools.
