1) make a nice drum set audible 2) make a nice drum set audible in a mix 3) turns a shit drum sample into a decent one 4) possibly misused to make a nice drum set sound like shit

This and mostly this. Not that I would know anything about it.

The drums are literally one of if not the easiest (for me) to get sounding great. Two great overhead mics ( keyword see: "shouldn't actually be over the fucking drummers head if you want anything but cymbal wash and shouldn't be called overheads" ), a snare mic that is at LEAST 8" to 12" away from the drum skin and a kick drum mic that captures what you want from it.... unless you're playing that tech death shit and your drummer needs to jack himself off to the barrage of tom fills he does every second measure. In that case, go fuck yourself.

In reality, the only drum that I have ever had consistent (keyword see: "quality sounding not like a toy robot shooting lasers at a tin can sound") success with blending a sample with is the kick drum. Again, blending, not replacing.

And uh... if your drum set sounds like shit in the room, I have some news for you. It's going to sound like shit in the mics as well. Weird coincidence, I know.
