This is the signal chain I generally use to record snare drums. The committing to sound mentality allows me to use enhance the sound with EQ. I will cut a some of the annoying miss in the snare sound though.
The other thing I will do is balance and sum the top & bottom miss together before I compress. This allows me to reduce the track count, but also not have issues of a pumping compression sound and more of a tighter sound I like with drums.
