Slowly, blend in the parallel compression track until you hear the change in the drums. Next, listen to your drum tracks without the parallel compression track. After you have this track routed correctly, and compressed, then you’ll go to blend it in. It will get it a little bit of life and punch. This parallel compressed drum track will be like glue for your drum mix. Many times, I will also add some low end to this compressed track. There are many others who will use even more compression. I prefer 4:1 and around 5dB of gain reduction. I simply take all of my drum tracks and buss them to a stereo aux track (or extra stereo channel on a console) On this stereo aux track, I will then compress all of the drums pretty heavily. This is probably the most common form of parallel compression there is. I will always use a version of this on my drums.
