Hey man,
I'd say first up, I'm glad you're happy with the sound.
But as you asked, here are the criticisms:
The hi-hat. I'm not sure what you can do about it, but IMO it's destroying the entire mix. It sounds almost like one of those hats people trigger in fruity loops with no velocity variance. I understand it's an acoustic kit, but the sound of that hat really doesn't fit with the mix. I'd be really inclined to bring it down if you can.
The cymbals overall I believe are too loud. They take presence over the top of the guitars, especially during the busier parts. The guitars lose tons of power because everything else is over the top of them. I'd be inclined to bring the guitars up and possibly make them more present.
Also I think the cymbals may be killing the attack from your drums. It's hard to hear the kick in that desired 'hardcore' fashion when there's just a wash of high-end over the entire mix.
Anyhow, that's just some of my opinions.
Overall very good stuff man.
