Hi Pete ,
your mix sounds pretty balanced ,sounds like a phase issue with the drums, I think one reason for the drums lacking the punch is the stereo overheads and room track causing too much snare information the side channels.
What i did with this song was to make a mono track of the Drum room so the kick and snare are in the centre.
sometimes also make a mono track of the the overheads or pick one channel and align the phase with the other drum tracks.
On the stereo overheads rolled off all of the low frequencies just to let the cymbals come through the sterio side channels.
remembering to keep checking the phase as some eq and plugins can alter the phase.
Not sure if i am diong this right and any tips and advice from our mixing friends would be helpful and appreciated !
Cheers
