Hey Don - man you've managed to generate a lot of urgency with your drums. Makes for a rollicking good ride, especially as the song builds towards the final solo and close. Nice. Maybe the snare rim shots during the intro could come down a bit - Its hard to tell as I'm listening in cans but I'm having problems listening to them with the volume cranked.

Cheers, Simon

Thanks Simon
Yes im finding the the snare is real challenge, I will keep on working on it !
Cheers
I like it. Nice sound, good balances.

Somethings came to my mind:
Something brute with snare sound. I wonder if the drummer is hitting too hard the snare when compared to the touch of guitars.
I wonder if the stereo effect (modulation?) in bass is too strong now? Just a little bit less, and the bass would be more focused and in the same sonic space.

Thanks ,will sort out out the rims in version 2 Big Grin!
Cool . Like the balance across everything. Its quite a narrow mix for my taste I would pan things out a bit more even though the el. gtr does widen things a bit toward the end. Also I think the reverb combined with the narrow stereo is pushing everything into the distance a bit. Having said that I think you've achieved a good illusion of a roomSmile
