Boost the equalizer gain at approximately 80 to 100 Hz, to add low-end punch to the bass drum. Cut the equalizer gain at approximately 200 to 250 Hz, if you want to take away boominess from the kick drum. Boost the equalizer gain at approximately 2.5 to 4 KHz to add attack to the kick drum, allowing it to cut through a mix.
Cut the equalizer gain at 100 Hz and below, to take away unwanted bass frequencies from the snare. Boost the equalizer gain at approximately 150 Hz, to enhance the body of the snare. Alternatively, cut the equalizer gain at approximately 150 Hz, to make the body of the snare sound thinner. Cut the equalizer gain at approximately 500 to 800 Hz, to keep the snare from sounding like it is made out of cardboard. Boost the equalizer gain at approximately 2 to 4 Hz, to add more attack to the snare drum.
Boost the equalizer gain at approximately 80 to 400 Hz, to enhance the fullness of the toms. The frequency range for adding fullness to toms differs greatly from one drum to another, because there are many sizes. Cut the gain at approximately 300 to 600 Hz to de-emphasize the frequencies that make toms sound like cardboard.
Cut the equalizer at approximately 200 Hz and below, to take away undesired bass frequencies from cymbals. Boost the equalizer gain at approximately 7 KHz and above, to add brightness to the cymbals.
