Hello guys! We are currently in search of a recording studio to record drums for our full length. Problem is we are not really sure whether the quality of the recorded signal will be up to the standard for a great sounding mix (we are planning to enter this particular studio just to record the drums, and use the raw multitracks afterwards)
Thanks to a friend, we managed to find the drums stems of one of the songs that were previously recorded there. I upload a 20 sec sample, for you to listen.

I know it is extremely hard to judge just from this stem, but this is our only sample from this studio, so no multitracks available. Do you think this result can be usable for a solid mix? Do you find any sonic problems in this sample?
I feel that the overheads sound a bit "distant", so we are gonna ask for more spot mics on cymbals. Other than that, i feel the general sound is pretty good. Any advice would be invaluable, as we will have to decide as soon as possible. Cheers!
