Hi Mike!
Love the mix, very full, round, and still clear. I really enjoy the smooth low mids you got on the drums and the clarity you have in the instruments. Are you using a tape emulator on the drums? If there is anything my ears want differently, it's the tiniest hint of sparkle on the drums. I usually sprinkle a little 6.2k from a neve eq emulator to give me that drum cut. I'll do it on the drum buss if the cymbals can handle it... sometimes the cymbals get a little harsh if you do that. In my mix it was too harsh on the drum buss for sure, so I moved the eq to just the snare bottom mic and that gave me the snap I was looking for without getting the harshness. I'm a drummer so I spend probably too much time aligning everything so that every detail is present. I really think your mix vibes well and the music sounds like a band jamming together, great mix!
