To be clear, the problem(s) are several fold. You mention drums, well the peak levels one finds from a drum set are WAY beyond home loudspeakers and the dynamic range beyond analogue tape for that matter.
The reason I suggest recording in mono is that our hearing via two ears creates the image of one point in space while one can’t capture a live stereo image realistically using spaced microphones.
Binaural recordings may be the closest and reminds one of a real space but can’t capture space realistically.
A pair of conventional hifi loudspeakers generally do not reproduce that “image” even when captured and this can be heard by playing a mono (same to both channels) signal. Ideally one only hears the center phantom but most / nearly all hifi speakers produce a phantom and an obvious right and left source as well which is spatial contamination.
If you have headphones on your computer, try a couple short recordings made with a microphone invention that samples in a different way. This is a product that isn’t ready for market yet but shows promise.
See if these don’t sound more like ‘real” than usual. They are not compressed so you may have to raise the level some.
