Thanks for bringing my attention to the drum spread. I discovered an important lesson... I always mix drums from the drummer perspective. There isn't a great spread in the OH mics on this track, but I discovered that they were labelled from the "front of drummer" perspective. So, my panned Hi-Hat and toms were competing with the panning in the OH's. I changed my panning, and get a much better spread now. I also pulled back on the snare bottom a little, as I had it in unison with the snare top level. Good ear!
This sounds much more natural to me, good job. Noticeable improvement.
