You should also try playing something true a cell phone and recording it with an sm57, it works great for a similar type of effects.
 
Just a couple of weeks ago a drummer I work with told me about a well known Aussie engineer who uses a telephone receiver as a trashy room mic for drum sounds.

What's the deal, are you using this? Any thoughts? I wanna find myself a real trashy mic and all my cheap dynamics just sound cheap not good trashy
 
I've used an old vintage bullet mic (the kind harmonica players love) as a trashy drum room mic before, slammed the fuck out of it with a URei 1176 (all buttons mode of course) in a session at a pro studio and it was fucking killer.
