Drum booth.....sm57.....gate.....gated reverb......lexicon small plate= 80 snare
We almost never used the big room, unless we were replacing the drums.
I would have inserted the compressor in the chain but i usually would wait till mixdown to see if i wanted to use it.
You almost have to gate the mic or you send all the other drums to the gated reverb.
That can be cool to...... even on the kick and toms.
I would usually print the open snare mic and add the gate during mix.
We would still hear the reverb sound for recording so we had the feel and (close) to the final sound.
