Drum premix

[Heabow]

Hey!

I'm just curious about how this sounds to you.
It just a premix before I work on the bass and guitar sounds.

Feel free to tell me what you think, even if you think it sounds like pure shit!

Cheers guys!

Sounds pretty good. I think I wouldn't change anything without hearing the rest of the instruments. But maybe here are some small hints. I don't really like the midrange of the kick, you may reduce it according to the guitar sound. Those ghost hits towards the end of the song won't be heard in a dense mix. Maybe you've put a too strong gate on the snare track. Automation might help, if there's too much bleed with a 'weaker' gate. And last, the toms could have a bit more attack for my taste but again, the guitars are too important to judge right now.

Thanks for your comment man!
I came to the same conclusions actually The mid range of the kick, more attack on the toms, the ghost notes... I had to be pretty drastic with the tom cleaning (the two rack toms are actually very short) and yes, the gates on the snare tracks are a bit nazi-ish ahah!! Tweaking to come with the other instruments
