I love how the band comes in after the vox intro....nice and powerful. Good job with panning and levels overall.
The only thing that I'm noticing is how bright/papery sounding the snare is... Is it a sample..or maybe you've blended too much snaredown mic?
The tambourine and crash cymbals are there to inject brightness and contrast into the drum arrangement. Having a bright snare makes its all sound bright all the time and eventually fatiguing by the end of the track because you've removed the high end contrast.
cheers, Simon (this is for v2)

Be fierce in your encouragement, kind in your criticism and try and remember that the art of a good critique is not to make someone else's mix sound like yours...but to help the mixer realize their own vision.
