Hey, did you check the ref mix for this song? The snare in the blast beats sounds completely off. This is not how a blast beat will sound because almost no drummer is able to hit the snare with the same snare velocity of a normal rhythm pattern when playing blast beats. Here is a nice video explaining what I mean:
Additionally, similar to your previous mix of Hammer Down, all the ghost notes on the snare are missing. I would check your trigger software or whatever you're using for the snare and try a more sensitive setting to address this problem, as it's significantly affecting the quality of both mixes. It just sounds unrealistic if the snare is always hitting with 100% velocity on every hit and with all the precious ghost notes completely gone
