Anyone want a crack at mixing this for me?

I love the snare. would you mind posting some samples of that snare (fxed but no reverb). I really would appriciate that!
EDIT: just saw they are made of the slate stuff, so never mind. don't wanna get into trouble with papa slate

Here's mine (from above): http://www.soundclick.com/bands/page_songInfo.cfm?bandID=823851&songID=6853587
I chose to keep the kick mostly confined to its 60hz thud seeing as nothing else was really going there. Doesn't sound too great during the chorus though, probably my shitty 5-min preset mastering (aka loudness-ing) job.
I compared mine to Splat's last night and overall I'd have to say I prefer mine, but Splat's seems to have a lot more lowend, from the guitars and bass, which I couldn't get. How'd you do it? also I may have accidentally left a low-pass filter on the Drums channel cos the toms seem to have no lowend.

knows what you think.
Here's a try at a different kick sound, which you were mainly asking for. Messed a little bit with the rest too, I'm afraid. Thanks for sharing!

Used and abused (at least one certain person won't approve of this I'm sure
Slate Kick15Z1 100% + another roomy kick blended in 33%.
Slate Snares 4Z3+4Z4 stacked, your "snare processed" track is left in there too, but fairly low. Didn't separate the replacing well enough to include all the "ghost" hits, sorry.
Sounds great!
What did you do to get that snare that loud?

The snare I used was Splat's original unprocessed snare included in the zipped file of all the tracks.

You mean the snare's sticking out too much, or how it got this presence in the mix? It's mainly the "Crack" snare-hits being triggered, and to trigger this group in Drumagog I added about 9dB of gain to the input signal (from the unprocessed snare track).
Kick and snare were sent through MH's channel strip (some compression and EQ). Track levels set to what I found suitable for the song, and yes, snare rather up front on this one. But not much more so than in Splat's Kick/Snare reference track, I think the snare was even more prominent there, and of course a different snare altogether.
Thanks again for all the remixes! I think I liked nwright's drum mix the most because of the rawness of the snare and it didn't sound triggered.
I started screwing around with the mix again and here's the result. I'm very happy with this mix and I spent a lot more time mastering it.

The kick is triggered on this test, but the snare is all Superior 2.0.

Dude, the bass guitar on this version is awesome! It's growling like crazy. What did you do to it?

Great sounding bass track there dude, thought its crazy growling and gnarling deserved more room in a full mix. Channel Strip compressor -> EQ, +4dB around 1.5kHz, Q0.8, mostly.
What bass guitar, and how has it been recorded?
