Hey, my newly formed band just started making a demo. This is my first time trying to get a quality drum sound, so I would really like some suggestions on how to make this better. I have a clip of the drums with an acoustic guitar below...any suggestions would be appreciated!

edit: sorry, i forgot...here is how I am micing
- 2 MXL 991's in xy overhead
- old shure mic on the snare (i chose it because it's very bright)
- MXL 990 in the kick (i'm aware this isn't a good choice)
I know that I'm not going to get superb results with my mic selection, but I'm young and poor so that's all I have right now.....one day i'll have a good job and get nicer stuff.
so pretty much any suggestions to make it better (please don't suggest new equipment because that's not possible for me right now)
