There are many things that I don't/wouldn't need to eq while tracking... though, in my opinion drums is not one of those. Until only recently I'd pretty much only recorded thinking that you should fix the drums with the mic and pre selection and with tuning, etc...
In the past year or two I've worked with people who eq drums on the way in and the results really have been night and day. From now on, I'll probably always eq and compress the drums on the way in. Get them as close as they can be from the beginning... I've had much better luck with sounds this way.
Ymmv but... I'm not afraid of eq at all.
There are a couple of these type threads alive right now here at the slutz, to eq while tracking or not to eq while tracking... I say, do whatever works.
