Compression and EQ are a nice combo for drums. But use just the right amount or it gets totally screwed up.

Pump .......... I assume is used to mean Kicking Butt and sounding good..... because with a compressor and a drum kit, and having things set wrong.... you will get "pumping" and I mean that in a bad way.... you don't want a compressor pumping in a mix. That means you have it set wrong.
