Been playing around with drums lately, which isn’t much good as I should be doing APP work… but.. If your drums are lacking a certain something, (particularly rock or metal drums) the performance is good, has nice dynamics, and compressing the cheese out of it just make the cymbals pump, you might want to try this.

Simply set up a bus send on the master drum return and shift it off to a multiband with a well quick attack and release and a pretty harsh ratio followed by a tube or tape saturation emulator. You can then just use the send on the drum bus as a comeonthenletsfuckingavsome! dial. Works wonders.

Also, if your having problems with guitars ’sitting right’, just cut everything below 100-150hz , you don’t need it and itcleans a mix up nicely.
