Probably an obvious answer here, but I don't see this addressed in the EZ Drummer manual.  On the mixer, there is a fader for Room and a fader for Comp Room.
 
Is Comp Room the same as room, except that it is subjected to some sort of preset compression?
 
Thanks.

I have EZdrummer and I don't this fader at all. I take it it isn't the standard version you are running?
Grum.

Comp Room only shows up if the EZX has the samples for it.  It is basically a compressed room mix for the Bonham sound lovers.

Yes, it's the room mic put through a compressor that you can mix with the room mic to give you a form of parallel compression.

Grum,
The mixer is different on each kit.
But I would guess that's what "comp room" means.
In Superior at least one of the kits has an "1176" snare channel.
So there you are, Nashville and Vintage rock have an 1176 compressed room channel.

Hardly for just the Bonham sound lovers.  Using it with the room mic gives you the opportunity to add a subtle or not so subtle form of parallel compression.
 
If you "whack it up to 10" then your average Bonham fan will be happy, but you can use it more subtly.  Parallel compression, particularly on a drum buss, is common in most forms of music.

Thanks, guys.  I am running what I guess is the standard version to which I have added Nashville and Vintage kits.

I got EZ Drummer when it was on sale for some ridiculously low price and added two kits.

Yeah, true.  I do parallel compression by ... parallel compression.

Same here.  Do you just use it for that Bonham sound?  No, me neither.  That was the point I was making.

Hi, Konradh, how are you finding the Nashville?  I love it.  Especially the toms.  I don't have the vintage, but will have to invest sometime.
