The drums are pretty weak sounding but a lot of that is the guitars in the way ,needs some meat on that snare too
The mix is just turns to mush as it goes on.Metal is hard to mix its pretty specialist I find.
Keep up the practice and it will get better
Ah, you're probably right!
I've been listening to several metal tracks and noticed that the drums were often put in the back and barely cutting through (check f.e. 'Back To Me' from Of Mice And Men) and with the guitars really the main element (sometimes even more than the lead vocal). But now that I'm comparing them again I think I went a bit too far 
Thanks for pointing out!With snare meat you mean those dark sounding snares like Three Days Grace has in their track 'Break'? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_4VCpTZye10
