Hi Guys,
A reasonably prominent label has said they like us but want to hear more material and so to that end, I'm making some demos out of some drum tracks I recorded a little while ago. I've just finished the bulk of the editing for this one track (some artifacts/clicks do remain but I'll get those out on the next pass)
I've put together a rough drum mix for you guys to have a listen to and to see if the drums are useable and I'd love to get some feedback / pointers / how you might approach continuing this mix considering where it currently is.
I'm finding the snare a little washy though I'm pretty sure I like the sample I'm using, advise? Toms and kick sound alright to me but the kit as a whole doesn't seem right...
Here's a little info:
Kit was a standard Tama Rockstar with pretty standard cymbals; Zildjan etc.
Kick : D6 blended with a sneap kick sample, 100% original kick mix, about 30% sample + lots of comp etc
Snare: originally i5 but blended heavily with Slate; about 70% Slate + room samples on an aux
Toms: all original, little comp + EQ, floor tom replaced with Slate maple I think
OH's: Spaced pair of NT5s, nothing fancy; little bit of a low cut and thats pretty much it.
All shells are parallel compd with a purple audio MC77 (any other suggestions?)
a little tiny bit of reverb (less than it sounds like..) on the snare and toms.
Heres the link:

Also I tried making a fake room mic and squishing it to high heaven using one of the overheads; it sounded great on the drums but I was getting phasy artifacts on the cymbals... Is there a way to do this or is it a bad idea?
Thanks in advance
