Hey there,
This is something that I had monkeyed with for quite sometime and then found a great and easy solution. I thought I might share some knowledge for those of you who are looking to start.
First and foremost you must have EZDrummer installed and have the kit set up on a multi channel setting. You can learn how to do by going to youtube and searching "ezdrummer multitrack cubase". First vid should do it.
When selecting which tracks to assign to each sample i usually do the following.
Track 1: Bass
Track 2: Snare top and bottom
Track 3: highat
Track 4:tom 1 (pan left)
Track 5:tom 2 (middle)
Track 6:tom 3 (pan right)
Track 7: overhead
Track 8:room
Next for each track, on the left hand side clikc the "inserts" tab. Add a multiband compressor.
For each track there are presets in the multiband compressor for each drum ie. bass, snare etc. sometimes u might like the snare multiband compressor preset on the bass its entirely up to you to try and find your grove.
After you have done that open the EQ tab and adjust slightly the levels you prefer. Should help out a bit.
The multiband compressor on a VST drum machine I find always sounds spectacular. Especially EZDrummer POP/Rock Kit. Gives a very thick and boulging sound which is preveleant in a lot of death metal and death core these days.
PLEASE NOTE: You must have a full version of cubase to have a multiband compressor. I recently purchased Cubase le5 and was greatly disappointed as it does not allow multi channel tracks for VST instruments. **thumbs down**
Hope that helps! Feel free to add anything you think might help others in the future.

I've got the SSD stuff also and love the triple snare. I should figure out how to replace the snare in ezd with it.
