Yeah, depending on the genre, I will use a LOT of compressors! Nearly every track! Then I might compress the drum group too! And the vocal group!
I have had times where there was compression on most of the tracks, subgroups, AND the master buss, then it got compressed more in mastering.
Whatever works to achieve your production goal! No rules!!!
But, I must say, that with a lot of rock music, the more compressors you have, the more you can achieve a lot of what you have heard.
Even though it isn't considered "compression" per se, a LOT of drum tracks are still recorded on analog tape first, with VERY hot levels, then tranferred to the DAW. So, the hot levels to tape IS COMPRESSION. So, maybe they aren't using compression at mix time on the drums, but it was there during tracking!
No rules! Just what gets the job done!
