Another question, is it better to compress an EQed signal or to EQ a
compressed signal (drums)?
Neither.
You do both at the same time by inserting the EQ in the sidechain.
All three of these are valid and useful things to do, depending on why
you're equalizing or compressing.
General hint: if you boost a frequency _before_ the compressor, anything
at that frequency will pull the compressor down that much more. If you
cut it _before_ the compressor, it can prevent something from causing the
compressor to pump for the same reason. If you boost it or cut it
_after_ the compressor, it won't affect the compressor action.
If you boost or cut in the sidechain, it affects ONLY the compressor action,
which is a really powerful tool to have.
