Hi Stratocaster.

If it's a powerful rock kit you're looking for, I like to compress each drum separately, but you need access to the individual drums to do this. I also use different reverbs for different parts of the kit, with the longest reverb on the toms and cymbals, less on the snare and very little on the kick drum. I also like to tune the pitch of the snare down a bit for a rock kit, to stop some of the "splash" and give it more power.

For a live-sounding kit I just use a bit of limiting and a touch of reverb on the whole kit.

Drum sounds are very individual and I'm sure you're going to get a lot of different views.
