I´m on a business trip at the moment and can`t check what I did with the drums. I know I completely replaced them with samples that I know will work for this kind of music. I think I also made midi tracks from all shells and used them in combination with the GGD rooms to give me fatter room sounds than the ones provided with this track. after that it`s just eq and compression and nothing fancy. the "fatness" of the drums comes from the room tracks though.
I usually dont care to seperate the drums in the upper region. I did a lot of separation in the lower spectrum on this mix because I was trying some ideas from the "Controlling low end" fast track from https://urm.academy/
If you struggle with rooms and ambience you might wanna check this video out: https://urm.academy/mixing-metal-drums-rooms-overheads/
