Compression and EQ on kits

[DonaldM]

Like most mixers, I generally set up my drum tracks each with their own processors, EQ and compression mostly. Generally I've been using the EQ and compression that comes with PT...the digi ones. But, I was wondering what might be the "go to" EQ's and compressors that others prefer for kicks, snares, toms, etc. Don't want to start a brand war or anything, but suggestions on what others like would be nice to know.

Thanks

IMO the factory ones are really quite good. And I'm loving the new channel strip in PT10. Seriously most of my channels now just have VCC into channel strip. That said I do really like waves H-comp on drums. But there are lots of other options and opinions too.

For drum compression, I generally run a stereo AUX bus and send the kit to it. Lately, using Waves SSL bus compressor, but BF76 can work well(try the all-buttons-in setting).
