Will Yip uses a UAD Distressor for compression followed by a UAD Culture Vulture for distortion on the drum bus.
He employs a slow attack and quick release on the Distressor to add energy without squashing dynamics, targeting 6-7 dB reduction.
The Culture Vulture adds character and glue.
Together, both processors create an energetic, lively drum sound that stands out clearly yet sits nicely in the mix.
