Well, my professional sound engineer (of the "old school") left me with compressor pumping on my snare rolls.

The track sounds wicked now though! I can't stress too much how much your track will be improved by the dynamic processors, expensive reverbs and vintage analogue and valve gear that a good studio can muster. Especially if you have a simple, or even PC based project studio, and less than a few years of experience. Just make sure your engineer is sympathetic to your music!
