Lately I've been trying my hand at drum programming and working inside of EZDrummer for fun, this track for me always was a challenge due to the drums that come with the multis, they don't have the impact needed for Pop Punk and kind of dull. With this mix I programmed out the drums and added my own twists to them, I'd doubt in the real world I could be this liberal with a production choice without asking the band this is sandbox kind of site however and it was fun adding some little flair bits! This is my first mix of the track so there are some things that need to be addressed, I'd like to hear what you guys think.
Cheers,
Doug
Update: I changed the kick I used in EZDrummer to something more snappy and lighter sounding than I was using and worked more to try and balance out the vocals and guitars.

Mixing is way more art and soul than science. We don’t really know what we’re doing. We do it because we love music! It’s the love of music first. Eddie Kramer
