Thanks for the feedback Dave!
1. Check the bass phase
I always check the phase
I only used the amp for this mix because I wanted a thinner old-fashioned bass sound and there is very little bass bleed, so a phase flip doesn't make a significant difference.
2 Give it a little more kick around 2k
I don't like clicky kick drums...
3 Try putting just a little saturation in the snare
I actually barely processed the individual mics on the drums and did everything on the bus. I think this mix could benefit from some compression & saturation on the close mics.
Thanks again! It's fun to discuss this stuff and get different perspectives. I took more of a "vintage" approach to this mix since it sounds like classic R&B/funk to me, while you mixed it like a modern pop song.
