I like very roomy drums. Depending on the studio, I sometimes use ribbon mics. I think the Coles 4038s sound pretty good. There is also the stereo version of the C12 that I like a lot. But if I don't have a lot of options I might use two [Audio‑Technica] AT4040s.

I've used a lot of Waves plug‑ins and there was a time when I was using the UAD2 PCI card and the plug‑ins that ran on its DSP chips, so from my experience using those, I was able to find certain attack, release and ratio relationships that gave me my 'sound', and that's what I've factored into the vocal compressor.
