I'm no pro, but looking at the amount of processing (gates, limiters, eq, etc) I would say that many of these more intensive techniques are more suitable for a modern, crunchy, rock sound. If you're looking for a more organic, live sound I really like to leave the kit alone as much as possible. I will most often roll off the low end on the overheads, not mic toms/hi hat, and add some LA2A to the snare and 1176 on the kick and then maybe run it through a buss compressor. I only really eq if there's something weird going on. I never gate. I never limit.
Just my 2 cents for a slightly more organic sound....
