Shul,
The stems you provided were a great help. Thank you for taking the time to render them.
Here is the latest mix. As usual I toyed with things other than the drums as I just can't help myself.
On the drums:
Snare: Eq close to yours and added compression. that good ol blockfish--my fav for drums.
Kick: left things pretty much the same but added the high boost.
Toms: Don't have much experience with expanders so I just adjusted the low pass a little to let a little more of the HiHat hit thru and added a high pas and some compression.
Percussion: added a tad of low pass to take some of the shrill away and added a tad of compression. Also my level is a tad more than yours but I like that Latin feel.
Overheads: I use the Nova67P with the overhead preset. Gets things in the ballpark quick with a little tweaking. S I left them as is.
Drum Room Reverb. Lowered the send level from the Kick quite a bit-me thinks that was the mud culprit. and lowered the overall level a tad.
I know your are going to say "Holy S__t" on the bass level increase. I usually wait until the end of things to bump this up to where this old live sound guy likes it.
Alas I lowered the lead guitar levels some to balance the overall level some more.
Did lots of other things but I will wait undil I hear your comments before getting into all that.
Hope this finds you well and take a listen if you have the time.
Mike
