What's up gurke?
Pretty solid mix, but a few points that stick out to me.
The drum room mics are pretty hot in your mix. I think you could benefit from bringing them down (or maybe crushing them with a compressor to get a really overdriven drum tone). The hi-hats and the crash ride are your two biggest offenders, imo.
The vox could come up a bit too, but not as much as I think, probably, as when you address the drum room mics, I think they will be a little more prominent.
Keep working, and don't be frustrated if you keep mixing a song and it gets worse (as your disimprovement comment connotes) as these songs will hone your chops, and help you identify troubling issues in later songs. I have a thread on here where I mixed a song, conservatively, thirteen times, and am still nowhere happy with what I have (maybe I should address this white whale again).
Anyhoo, good swing, and try to see if instruments/effects/specific frequencies are covering other portions of an instrument.
Cheers!
