Basic drum pattern with bass guitar, please rate

Okay, the main thing about EQ is "rather cut than boost" and atleast some place should touch the 0dB line, otherwise use the volume fader. For example now you have like 8dB boost at 125hz and only place that isn't touching the 0dB line is the below 80hz, which you cut out with the last EQ.

You could've just done this and the result would've been the 95% the same (but being just a bit quieter of course but it can be compensated with faders):

Thanks mate. Yeah, Im a button twister, I need to start delving into doing cuts as opposed to boosts to see where I can go. Your tip will help though, thanx again.
