Section 1: attempt to clean up drum tracks by using an upward expander and a bunch of automation to reduce bleed on kick and snare. Most noticable: the  hi-hat is still way too forward in everything, because its being reinforced from multiple tracks.  To me, it sounds too plastic and processed in a bad way.

Section 2:  Using a phase inverted copy of the track with a carefully set compressor to create a hard gate with a shaped knee on the kick and snare. Hats are now primarily in the OH, and sit well in the mix. (I forgot to turn off the reverb when I dumped the source, so it's wetter.)
