I looking around for a 8-12 channel submixer for drums. I don't want a
larger console, but I want one that has good sounding preamps as well as a
versatile, good sounding EQ for drums. Most of what is available in this
size is the Mackie SOS. I cant afford a Neve sidecar, but would like to find
something in between.

Which of the Soundcraft, Studiomaster, A&H, Ramsa type boards sound the best
for drums? Is there something else I should consider?
