Feedback/criticism on mix of band

[robin6505]

Hey guys!

I've been reading through this forum for over a year now and learned a lot from you! Now I'm busy with mixing (final steps) a song for my band and it is the second song I fully produce and I would like some feedback on the mix!

I am aware that there is a bit of noise here and there in the mix, but this is caused by the recording and couldn't fix al of the problems later. Now I know what to watch for when recording.

Some info about the mix:
Drums: Steven Slate + Wall of Sound cymball package (With some eq and compression on chain)
Guitars: TSE808, lePou Lecto, Guitarhack Impulses (only high and low pass eq in chain)
Bass: Lots of processing on it (But the bassguitar was a bit crappy and strings seemed quite old so it lacked in the high frequencies)
Vocals: Mostly double tracked. Compression and a bit of reverb in chain.

Masterchain(As far as you can call it mastering): Saturation, Compression, Equilizer(boosted high shelf a bit from 10k Hz), Limiter/maximizer.

Do you have any tips or things that could improve?

This is an improved version of it:
Made the snare more noticable

The toms arent too audible. They get lost. Also, that bass drop in the beginning is almost inaudible, but muds the mix.

Thanks for the feedback! I had some troubles in deciding how loud the bass drop should be in the mix. At first it was way too loud. I also had problems with mastering the bassdrop as it caused a bit of distortion when it dropped. I inserted the bassdrop after the master chain but before the limiter. Any suggestions how to solve this without lowering the overall level of the song?

I have tried to temporarily highpass the rest of the mix a bit higher during the bassdrop but it didn't really help that much without getting too drastic in the highpass.
