Hi Andy,

Just want to congratulate you on the slew of excellent albums under your belt, keep up the killer work! I got a couple questions about drum production:

Where do you use compression on drums and how much? What kind of attack/release do you like? What do you gate or expand if anything?

I usually find a 6db gain reduction to sound pretty good, but I might be an idiot :)

Thanks and rock on,
