Best Plugins for MASSIVE Rock and Metal Drums | FabFilter vs Waves vs SoundToys vs. IK Multimedia vs. Sonimus

There are so many great compressor plugins, which ones are right for you?

In this article, you will learn the different features and flavors of some of my favorite compressors. And in my opinion, the best way to showcase their specific sounds is by compressing a rock drum kit.

In the video below, you will also learn what I listen for when dialing in drum bus compression, so you can apply these concepts to whatever compressor plugins you use.

I walk you through all the settings on a compressor, teach you what to listen for when dialing in drum compression, and how you can use any compressor to add movement and space to a mix.

FabFilter vs Waves vs Soundtoys vs IK Multimedia vs Sonimus

You will hear how all of my favorite drum bus compressors sound when pushed to their limits:

All of these very popular plugins are compared in the video below to see which ones sound the absolute best for powerful and punchy drums. You will hear all the plugins both soloed on just the drum kit and also in a full mix.

🤘Happy mixing 🤘
