I usually route all my drum tracks to a drum bus and then insert a compressor, squash it down until I like the thickness it's giving me and then use the mix % knob to dial in how much dry/wet signal I want. Before inserting the compressor the drum mix sounds balanced but when I bring up the compression to my liking the cymbals are overpowering the rest of the kit, if I turn it back down I lose the thickness. Is this something that is routine with parallel compressing the drum mix?
