Hahaha, right on there! But actually http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hBj6PonX14AYou cannot polish a turd.
Album quality? Good luck.
I can't tell you what your drums need EQ wise. You'll need EQ, compression, maybe a little reverb on some of it and if we're going 'modern' you'll also probably need some side-chain triggering, a mastering suite and twenty years of experience.

Ah, Duncan, fifty times nominated for the drummerworld 'Golden Sarcasm Award'...I think this'll be the fifty-first! I hope our texan friend is sufficiently thick-skinned to take it, though of course you've hit the nail on the head about the whole thing. A grand misconception is occurring on the part of the OP, namely that EQ works automatically. Hey, I suppose you could do something like that if you knew the fundamental note(s) of the drum in question, then you could have it attenuate different harmonics like a synth...has anyone ever done that? I've often wanted to have EQ which tracked the fundamental note of a monophonic signal (or, given that I'm making this up, let's go for polyphonic!), and allowed you to control the relative volume of the different harmonics whatever the fundamental note, or independent of their frequency I suppose. Wouldn't that be amazing?
