Levels/Balance are pretty good.
Sounds like you're hitting the drums with a transient shaper and some aggressive compression (possibly both). Makes them sound a bit squashed and flat as a result. Snare seems to be missing some sizzle (~5K).
The acoustic guitar processing seems a bit extreme -- and the sound ends up a bit brittle as a result.
The other instruments in the mix could benefit from some more aggressive complementary EQ -- so they're not competing for the same spot in the lower mids (although I admit to sometimes cleaning that area out rather to successfully in my mixes and thus killing some of the "warmth" (so its a matter of taste/style there).
Hope this helps. All comments gratefully accepted on my mix too if you have time to listen.
