| Hi,
I find that setting up some parallel buss compression in Pro Tools is quite easy and effective towards monitoring a "finished" drum sound without affecting what goes to disk. I'll buss drum tracks to two stereo aux ins, put TimeAdjuster on one aux and the PT Limiter on the other aux. Next I'll set up the limiter with some fast constants and about 15 db of limiting, and increase the gain 15 db. Now mix the squashed aux with the clean aux. It's a tried and true trick that Richard Dodd mentioned in the analog domain, but I find it works just fine in PT as long as latency between the two auxs is compensated for.
