Cool Hey all, check out this Drum Sample!

Hi everyone,
I have been watching these forums lately and have spent a lot of time learning and experimenting to make my own setup sound "professional". I think I have done reasonable well and would like your professional opinions. I have been playing the drums for 15 years, but recording.. professionally is some-what new to me.

To sum things up, I recently tore down my entire Tama Rockstar Kit, removed all the heads, canned them, cleaned the set, took down all the mics, reset the Yamaha MG10/2 mixer board knobs, and started over. When I got it all built, I found out I only have 4 inputs on my mixer, so I could only use the Oktava MK012 overheads, a D1 snare MIC, and a D4 bass mic. But.... my D4 mic died. Yes, it DIED. No sound, no noise, nothing.

So everything you hear in the recording is the following:

5-Piece Tama Rockstar (Vintage Red baby)
-14" Snare, 22" Kick, 10" Tom, 12" Tom, 14" Tom
Zildjian A-Custom Cymbals and a Wuhan China
Two Zildjian A-Custom Hi-Hat Tops
ALL Evans Heads
-Hydraulics on the Batter Side
-G1 Clear Coat for Resonant Side
-EQ3 Batter Bass Head with Gibraltar Click Pad
Tama Iron Cobra Double Bass Pedal

The back kick drum head has a small hole for micing.
The bass drum has one pillow in it.
I used an Audix D2 Tom Mic INSIDE the bass drum and heavily EQ'd it.
I spent approximately 1 hour tuning each drum.

The overheads are panned hard left and right, NO EQ what-so-ever. (Give me input on this.. if you think it needs some) The snare Audix D1 has some minor EQ boost. I am aware that mixing kind of sucks.. I would like to track my drums instead... but hey, that crap is expensive and i'm trying to get by for now. At least until I get enough money to buy a high end pre-amp with at least 8 inputs and phantom power.

Ok that about sums it up... what do you guys think?

Thanks!
