i thought i would provide a link recently 'sticky-ed' at gearslutz instead of making a whole new post, it's free ir reverb impulse sets (donationware) of stuff like lexicon (various models), 6000, quantec, etc
here's the link http://www.rhythminmind.net/presetblog/category/samples/impulse-sets/
it should be compatible with most convolution reverbs like altiverb, space designer, waves, sir, tl space, wizoo, etc

I never use reverb on my kicks, I like them dry. Most of the time I add a slight reverb to my snares with minimal wetness. I run everything (kicks , snares, hats, crashes , etc ...) through a compressor, always ...but that's just me ...you should always do what you feel is best for the overall track
What effect do you get off of the compressor? What does it do to the drums?

It’s not really any "effect" more of a way to control the output of certain dynamics in frequencies without Eq'n or adjusting the output volume. It’s a great tool as long as you use it moderately.
I see. It's just all I've used a compressor for at this moment in time is to raise the levels of my samples when they're too quiet, so I tweak the output gain up a little.

a compressor can soften or sharpen the particular drum part it's used on, as well as, 'lengthen' (a lack of a better term) a sound based on the parameters. besides punch there's also pumping and finally the character based on type of compressor and what's added, the components in hardware or added code in software i.e. noise. these are some of the effects a comp can be made to do other than controlling dynamics.
personally, other than a limiter, i never use comps for controlling dynamics i use them for sound and character not including a possible comp when recording highly dynamic music
using a comp in combo with reverb to control the tail or freq is widely used, others use the combo to add more character and/or so-called warmth because reverb can sometimes sound 'cold' (again with a lack of a better word) or be too metallic

Thanks for the explanations, appreciate it.
