Here is a comparison of lots of drum overhead microphones. Microphones are all running through the SSL AWS924, all recorded simultaneously. I have done a very small amount of compression (FabFilter C2) and there is a limiter over the master to bring everything up to the correct volume for YouTube (-14LUFS). The compressor and limiter are hardly doing anything - just catching the odd transient here or there.
