Killswitch engage cover- please crit.

[briggz22]

Just recorded a cover of Numbered Days by Killswitch Engage for the fun of it. Please excuse the extremely shifty clean vocals... I'm no singer. I'm a fair hack when it comes to mixing things so any suggestions and advice would be great Thanks!

Drums seem lifeless. Very one dimensional. Guitar tone has potential but they seem out of place. In my opinion, the Drums and the cymbals play a big part on your guitar placement and how they sound in the mix, and as i previously stated, your drums are weak. And also your cymbals are panned weird. What samples are you using for drums/cymbals?

Drums are superior drummer 2.0. Haven't really played around with much in the mix as we only tracked it yesterday. Will try to fix em up and repost. Also guitars are pretty much straight from Poulin 456 (Engl one) and havent had any post processing.
