I find it helpful to compress the signal hitting a drum verb a bit to maintain the characteristics of the wet sound in the mix when the drumming is widely dynamic- brushes and sticks can have a similar ambience in the PA, for example. Started doing this for musical theatre vocals awhile back and it helped a great deal; the dynamic range those guys sometimes give you can make FX seem non existent or comically overdone in the space of a few seconds. In many instances you can’t compress the channel itself a great deal without getting into other issues, so to squish the send to internal FX would be great.
