This is by no means a science, just a crazy idea. Although if all you have on the kit is a sm58 and at2035 it's kinda of a hopeless battle i would say. But heres what i would try. Once again just a crazy idea. Take one of the mics (the one picking up snare the most.) and gate the shit out of it, then trigger a clean sample for some snare beef, not obvious that its a sample, just enough to make it feel more close mic'd. I would just draw kick in by hand, with a sample. But you could use a crazy low pass filter or narrow in on the kick freq. Maybe put through limiter/gate or something to try and pickup the kick in the overheads enough to trigger a sample. Then try to look at the frequency responses of both of those overhead mics. The audio technica is fairly neutral and flat sounding with a touch of high brittleness, i've used them to overhead and they are decent for a low cost condenser. Looking at the sm58 freq. response try to make the mic more flat with eq to "match" the response of the at2035. Once again this is not a science and I could take a lot of heat for this idea. Once you feel the mics sound closer i would roll a touch off the at2035 just because it won't sound balanced with the 58. Now balance the kick and snare and bring up the overheads.
I believe Antares had/has a plugin called mic modeler that sort of did what i explained. It made mics "sound" like other mics, of course more goes into the sound of a mic than just eq'ing a response but it's worth a shot to try to achieve better overhead balance.
