Hi guys, after toying around with this track for a while I tried mixing the track without the tom close mics and I think it has led to the drums sounding tighter and more defined. This is more of an experiment and there are still some tweaks have to be made but so far I'm happy with the sound of the track. I would like some criticism on the mix to help me refine it. I have done some rough mastering to bring it up to a commercial level and to even out the sound of the track, normally my tracks arn't this loud but it seemed to work for this song.
Update: I made completely new mix and master of the track with the tom tracks. I processed the tracks less and used parallel processing on the drums to make them pop more. The snare and toms haven't been process save for some subtle gated reverb on the snare and reverb on the toms.

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
