New Mix(slate drums) Beneath the Surface opinions needed

Great song and I love the vocals.
The drums at the beginning: the hat sounds way too dropped in and on the beat... like you have just dropped a sample in every 4.
When the intro speeds up, especially the second time, the guitars just don't seem to fit. They sound out of time. I think a change in how the the part is played is needed or a new riff.

Slipknot are a good example of slight changes to a simple riff every change of the drums. Gives the song drive and movement.

other than some slight drops in volume on some tracks (automation should sort) the song is pretty darn cool and rocks dude. Well done ;)
 
i am having so many problems with the hats. Mostly cause slates hats aren't the best. And mostly cause i am new to mixing.
 
Stick with it, as the song sounds fecking awseome.
Nothing major, just some tweaks here and there and you are good to go.
