For quick and easy compression of drums and breaks, I'd recommend
Korvpressor by Klevgrand
If you like to take more surgical control I suggest using a multiband comp, and I have been getting incredible results putting the Toneboosters EQ in dynamic mode
Toneboosters EQ (in dynamic mode)
For more warmth and glue, I have heard good things about the...
Magic Death Eye Compressor
...and if you'd prefer a swiss army knife n all-in-one single band compressor and limiter you can't go wrong with
I know some user have issues with AD plug-ins but I just love AD Rough Rider especially when going over the top and squashing the living daylights out of the input source and it's free!
Bark Filter can be really good too, if you know what you’re doing, because of the variable control over each part of the spectrum. I usually start with the TripleBand preset and work from there.
Beatformer by Accusonus. Got it when they had it for free for a month but would pay for it, totally worth it. Punches up breaks & can drastically alter their character if you want it to sound different from everyone else that’s used that break.

FAC Maxima is killer for drums. Add in FAC Transient for even more shaping control.

Pro-C 2 is on the pricey end, but it's easily the most versatile compressor on iOS and the 'punchy' algorithm with auto release is just magic.
