Well, I'm definitely an amateur, but I have played with compression as
an effect and is certainly made things easier to listen to, and yes it
would be nice to compress the cymbals (that can make them last longer,
right?) but I accept it's all or nothing.

I've not gigged with the Yamaha but I was just thinking it might make
the sound 'smoother' somehow.
