Experimenting with SD2-MF and Revalver

[rlcramer]

I won't go into too many details yet, but I'd like your opinion on a new mix template that I'm working on. I find that if I can create a decent Logic template of drum and guitar tones, that I can sit down and write music, instead of spending all of my time tweaking. The drums on this track are SD2 Metal Foundry with a little layering of Sneap kick samples, and another snare that I found somewhere on the web. I've never really done layering on my drum tracks before so I want to see if you think it works or not. Any opionins and all critiques are welcome. Also, let me know what you think about the overall level and dynamics. I ran this through a mastering preset in logic, but the overall volume still sounds way low to me. I'm always hesitant to really BLAST the levels, but this mix probably needs a bit of a boost, no?

Thanks for listening...

Here's an updated mix... The last one was done on my computer speakers, and sounded super dark when I listened on my studio monitors. I re-did it, but hopefully it's not too bright this time.

Opinions?

Please?

Pretty please?
