I personally doubt it's possible without sampling heavily compressed 
loops, but here's a couple of things to try:
- one of artefacts of heavy compression is loss of high frequencies 
at the beginning of sound; set up a subtly opening filter envelope on 
drums for that "squashed" effect;
- to simulate compression on longer sounds (crashes, cymbals) set up 
an amp envelope that dips soon after beginning and then goes back up;
- a fun thing to do is layer a drum kit with noise oscillator. The 
noise layer can be monophonic. A noise osc with gradual release can 
sound somewhat like reverb tail. You can probably achieve the effect 
of ghost notes by setting up an opening amp envelope (or maybe even 
note-off layer). Noise with sharp attack and release can be used to 
fatten and dirtify the drums. I didn't invest enough time in this 
area to give you a more specific advice - just play with filter, 
volume and tuning of noise for fun and profit :-)

have a nice day,
Boris.
