sidechaining helps drums cut through the mix, but it usually only makes sense for something like a kick that you want to have punch. EQing will help carve out spots for your drums to sit in/highlight frequencies that help drums stick out. You can use the Curve for EQing

put tiny gain on synth, lower gain.
put tiny gain on drums, raise gain.
