Hold On You

I'm really new to mixing.
This is my first upload ever.
Definately addicted to this stuff.
Happy to have a forrum like this to learn from.
I'm really struggling with a bunch of things, one of them is mixing drums from live recordings (I normally use a e-kit and superior drummer).
So this was the first run at mixing accoustic drums.

Hey man, one thing I'm noticing is that the drum kit seems almost absent from the mix--especially the cymbals. Were you using much/any of the overheads? One way I like to think about it is that the overheads and/or room mic give you the sound of the drum kit, and the close snare/kick mics let you punch those up a bit since they're two key elements to the track.
