Personally I make a mix bus for drums,(snare,toms,kick,overheads) bass(sometimes 3 tracks), guitars(2 tracks in stereo), and use compression those. Rule of thumb when using compressors on a mix bus or master bus... Don't compress too much. Every track group in there gets affected to a degree when compressing too much.You don't need to be an expert to help out. I'll watch it and see if I can learn anything from it. Thanks, man.
I'm not claiming to be an expert, but I recorded a video of me mixing a rough mix years ago. That's just my way of mixing but on min 7 I work on drums. Maybe you can get something useful out of it.

. Spent a whole lot of time on the toms trying to tame it down. The tail ends was hard to work with. Was able to bring the drums forward, even with the constant pounding toms. Worked on the balance of the guitars more, especially the lead guitar. I don't know if it's a hit or a miss
