After a few failed mixing attempts with this song, I finally ended up with a mix I'm proud of. 
I made the vocals in your face and that I found to work very well with this mix. I added a lot of bass in there, but if my current monitoring setup works it should be pretty much at a perfect gain level.
The snare was tricky, I tried a few different configurations but finally decided to keep it pretty dry because it made the mix a little more calm sounding, which I liked.
At first I thought I got the hi-hat and cymbals too loud, but after a while I realized I had ended up with a perfect balance on these, just quiet enough not to clip the mix but loud enough to make the drums have a good high end punch.
The magic happened in the mixing process, although I worked really hard at mastering too.
I hope you enjoy it!
