I used compression on all my drum tracks to give it a more full and controlled sound. In particular for the kick and floor tom it was to add more punch and also to even out any peaks for the full performance. I used EQ on all tracks except the overheads and room mic. The reason for this was to cut the bleed of the other drums on each individual track but I wanted to leave the overheads as they were to give a full picture of the kit. All the drum tracks were placed in a routing folder where I placed the Studio Reverb plugin on the Medium Theatre setting. I wanted the drums to sound very reverberant but also keep some of the punchy characteristic sounds.
