every mix i do where the drums need to really thump gets this sort of treatment.

usually im compressing the individual mics first, then sending the kick, snare, and toms to the 2nd bus.

i find its actually pretty essential to getting my hard rock drum tracks to sound right.

i usually squash my room mic but don't bus it to the compressed subgroup. same with the overheads.
