Tear this one apart for me!!!!

Hey everybody

Looking for some thoughts on this one...it's my own band and objectivity is low at best.

Let me know what you think,
PS The end will fade out in the final version

Sounds pretty good man. The only thing I hear that I don't particularly care for is the kick drum. It's kind of dull sounding to me. I'd replace it with a sample.

Cool, thanks for listening!

Drums and the drummer are real, it's a DW kit, not sure the model but it was a custom deal. Drum mics are as follows:
Kick mic-Sennheiser e602
Snare Top - Beta 57A
Snare Bottom - Audix OM5 (???bass player had it lying around and it's hypercardoid so decent rejection)
Toms: (There are 5!! toms) 4 of them are Sennheiser e604's, and one is a SM57...

Overheads are Naiant MSH-2 omnis...$30 mics
Hihat is a CAD small diaphram pencil mic, not sure of the model
Room mic is a Rode NT-1


All mics are going through an 80s Allen and Heath System 8 Mixer, into 2 M Audio Delta 1010s

Bass is a PRS bass, into a Boogie head with Eden cabinets. DI'd and Miked with the e602.

Guitars are a '71 Les Paul Recording into a Boogie IIC+, miked on 2 different speakers (Black shadow and vintage 30 I believe) with a 57 and 57A.

Vocals are the NT1.

Nice dude! Quite a sound you got out of those drums. I'd say the kick just needs a little less of that wet/dark sound, so maybe a little more attack (~2-6khz) and a little less low mids (~250hz). Snare could come up a little too.
