Which drums sound better?

[Siriun]

Helping a friend work on his extreme metal project, we built
this kit in SD2 that's going to be used for his album.
I've got between 3 different sound tweaks I'm thinking of using for the album but I wanted to get the opinion of people here. Let me know what you think.

It gets pretty compressed in the last one. I'm a fan of heavy compression, If used in the right situation, but I'm not so sure. Take a listen!

Drums (Over-Baked) (this is how it should sound (( Velocity is set to full, Other 2 were at default)) )

Get the drums thrown into a mix with guitars and bass, that's when the drum sounds will really count.

The idea of this thread is to just focus solely on the drums to see which users
like most and why. Just so you know

I get that, but there's not much point to it. I'm pretty sure you're not going to be releasing album of drum tracks. Someone may like the sounds themselves but they may not like them when they're thrown into a whole mix.

all 3 sound pretty horrific. but there's a chance one of them might sound ok in the mix, which is what i think oroinvictus is trying to say...
