Tips for a tighter sound? (self.drums)

I've been drumming for a while but wherever I hear myself in a recording my sound is a little sloppy and never very tight, in terms of both timing and intensity of hits. Besides the obvious practicing rudiments and using a metronome, does anyone have any suggesting for how to improve on this?

Practice slow, slower that you probably expect, until intensity and timing is good, then gradually ramp up speed while keeping good technique. If it gets sloppy, slow down. Basically, this is the boring answer but: practice
