I constantly get producers asking me how I get such great drum sounds (thinking there must be some elaborate secret), and I tell them "Get the sound during tracking".

You will have much better results and any processing you do will be more of an effect than an effort to shape or create a tone.

You don't need all this crap!
The most useful help so far. I think that less eq and compression usually means bigger sound. I'd rather compress the drum buss by few dB than compressing the single drums.
