Hows this thrash tone

[elapidae1]

Ok this is pretty sloppy as i just wacked it together for some feedback.

It is a single riff with guitar, bass and drums.

Guitar : Hellraiser V, Blackstar HT5, LeCab2 (custom impulse)
Bass : Cort Curbow, Lecab (Custom Impulse), Gcomp
Drums : S2 (AS - Legacy preset)

No other processing.

Opinions on what it needs would be helpful. More/less gain,more/less mids...You get the idea

I don't really think the drums are loud enough or have enough energy for this genre. Moar compression on them and a level check would benefit this most.

Edit: just read that you wanted tone feedback. I don't really deal with that genre so unfortunately I can't help you.

Thanks for the input. But yeah this isnt a help my mix thread, I havent done anything like eqing or such on anything. All is pretty stock.

Can't hear/feel the kick. I think add some click and low-end to it.
The snare is way too compressed imo. There's a lack of 'bottom mic', air, space... and reverb.

Hope it helps

I havent done any additional work to the drums. Just loaded up the andy sneap legacy preset.

So my opinion is the same for both versions (just listened to the second one actually)

Guitar tone-wise, this is pretty sweet. It's what you would expect to hear from a typical thrash band.

The drums are meeehhhhh

The bass sits well. I personally love a Rickenbacker sound for thrash... But this works well.

Blackstar amp is playing up. So forgot to mention this is :
Tse 808
Poulin Legion
LeCab 2 (Same impulse as with the blackstar)

Hopefully the drums sound better now. I would love a Richenbarker, but money is an issue.
