for programmed drums, insted of using a clipper on the more percussive stuff, i suggest editing your samples so you manually cut the start of the attack and make those sample almost click as they hit. Then you can compress them so the initial click your getting gets accentuated and starts hitting your face like a baseball bat. It doesn't sound natural, but still gets as punchy as an electro clap sound or a percussive trance vocal sample. If you still wish to clip the sound afterward, you still can, and the result will be simply ridiculously snappy. Afterwards, I suggest working with no master bus compression or clipping for an optimum sound and to maintain all that punch youv'e been working on.
