Since you couldn't create the drum strength the traditional way (you know, so that the all the mics support each other) I had to do lots of the opposite: To make sure any of the channels didn't step onto each other's toes and destroy the low punch (or what left of it anyway). That included deleting half of the close mics (kick outs and snare bottoms and such) The sample snare track provided saved my butt here.
Well you must've done something right because you're the first person whose mix didn't have that muddiness problem with the snare on the first attempt, including my own.
Actually, aside from the stereo image being a little narrow for my taste (I get this odd feeling like too much stuff is squashed to the center during the bigger parts of this) and the master compression maybe being a touch aggressive I really like this!
One thing. I love the definition you got out of the piano here!
What did you do to it?
