I was after the exact same sound and I found a solution that works for me. I really wanted the tight and punchy drums from Daft Punk’s Random Access Memories so I ended up using a transient shaper on each drum channel (I had each channel routed externally to output to tracks in my DAW). This not only allowed me to reduce the sustain of the drums but also increase the punch, mimicking setting up mics very close to the kit. Hope this helps. This is similar to using the the previously mentioned envelope editor inside SD3 itself but just a lot easier to work with and fine tune.
