I work mostly in MIDI so even if my suggestion of RD stems will work it would still be MIDI and not sound exactly like the original RD. MIDI drums is one thing that MIDI does extremely well as the drums samples are one hit samples only and not like guitar, piano, horns, etc MIDI. But many times they may need some help to sound like a real drummer. Waves has some excellent drum effects:

I explode my drums into individual tracks and mostly use Waves CLA drum effects on each drum and/or types of drum, i.e. toms, cymbals, percussion, etc. You can use the CLA effects on a combined drum track also. Sometimes a little reverb or delay helps also.

The bottom line, IMHO, is to forget about converting RDs to MIDi and use either or. Both a excellent tools to have in your toolbox.

I guess Do You Hear What I Hear was a bad song choice!
