Thanks for the comments, I'll definately have a look at some of the issues. I've currently got my drum group 4 dB lower and it still sounds like a mix. Unfortunately as soon as I try to change anything else the rest of it doesn't work. The electric guitars for example, I've used a bit of saturation (stolen from Luis Diazz 
) and given them a lot more "cut" but when I try to bring them into the mix they just sound like they're not really supposed to be there. I've taken some high end off the steel strings as suggested and they still sound good, but the electrics are clashing horribly with the nylon.
It's my fault of course, I left them until last and I'd mixed everything else without leaving space for them.
I can't really change the FX without redoing everything, on this mix I inserted them all. I have turned them down a bit on lead instruments and up on more background stuff though.
I'll come back to this tomorrow and see if I can get the electrics to join in.
I do like drums and "groove", maybe a bit too much.
