How to mix solo drums (and some showing off)

I haven't listened to it on my monitors so I can't comment on the sound, but I truly love the drumming. Great job man, really nice. I like how you kept it restrained until about half way, then let loose. Very tasteful.

EDIT:- Just listened on my monitors.. Sounds really good. I compared it to the original track and the latest track sounds much cleaner and more balanced.. I like the drumming better too..

Oh thank you! Didn't catch the edit. Yeah its definitely mixed better. I pushed harder against heavy compression on the master buss, but you kinda need to with solo drums or else the huge crest factor will not get you any decent volume on the drums.

Its really a fun groove. I did an alternate version of that groove about 3 years ago (also have a video of it from back then) but I'm not doing a shuffle on the left hand, so its not quite as cool, but it is faster.
