Well here we are!
I've been tracking and mixing my band's brand new EP!
We used at first a Pearl Master Custom kit, with a custom snare ( i don't happen to remember the name, it's a green one lol )
But after a few sessions, we realized the kit wasn't just working for us. So finally a Tama Starclassic bubinga got to our hands letting us track the songs with a bit more of comfort.
So here is one of the songs, i've been mixing it for 2 or 3 sessions:

Used some Sneap samples to reinforce (blend) the original kick & snare.
I'm not sure about the tom and floortom...i think they're straight natural sounding. A bit of compression, and EQ. No extra mics, simple OH setup.
I want to make the solo section a bit more Spacey-like, but i think too much reverb will end up mudding everything up!
Audix D6 (no front miking), Sennheiser 441, Beyer M201/sm57, Neuman mikes for hihat and cymbals.
Anyways, i'd like to hear your opinions!! Thanks!!
PD: I EQ'd everything to make the vocals fit into the mix once we track them.
