Hi guys..

I am no sound engineer.. would any of you guys give your opinion on my mix.. this is just a short riff. I have just been playing with the mix, tones, drum presets etc.

What you guys think? once I am happy with this im going to get on to recording all my new tracks.

The vocals are just place holder :p and too much reverb. Was just mucking around :)

its a little hard to see.
 
i really like the clean part at the beginning
what i find a bit weird is that everything sounds atmospheric and distant with lots of reverb except the drums which are really dry and uppfront sounding
i would make the snare darker and add reverb to it
the drums are definately the weak spot on this, maybe you could also experiment with different patterns
otherwise its really atmospheric, it does have that drudkh vibe
