But I would like to say that I have quite often read that you shouldn't use multiband compressors on drums. I would like to add, this is bollocks! I use multi band compression nearly all the time on my drums. I find that it helps 'glue' the drums together and make a drum that would normally sound out of place to a different kit, fit in a lot better.

Even when you are layering stuff such as snares you can put each one in a separate channel. You can then apply effects, compression, EQ etc to every drum element individually, or you can group them on busses, and process them together. The possibilities are endless __ If you find spam on the site, please hit the button and select my name.
