I hate to sound so simplistic here.... but one time a good friend of mine just kept requesting I turn the treble all the way down on the drums. Me, being the engineer, wanted to show off the fact I could afford condenser mics, wanted to boost the treble a little bit. Honestly. Turning down the HF filter on the board we were using... 12k? Literally all the way down.. and add back top end with saturation or just making it work... is honestly pretty "small and 70's sounding" and its so simple. I think we were on tape too at the time.
you're not going to like this but the original DBX 160... hard to setup to sound good in my opinion but something about it just screams 70's drum bus to me.
