Paralell compression involves creating two bus groups. On Drums for instance, one of the Drum bus groups is compressed or squashed while the other buss group is left uncompressed. In the case of drums you may also be compressing individual channels as well as the bus group - but there are no absolute rules on that part of it. Hope that helps, cheers!
