Sounds good!
I'd like to know a little about how it was tracked and mixed.
I think the tom sounds a bit whimpy when it's hitting about 1/2 way through the song.
More snare! It sounds great, but just not loud enough.
Preamps were just on
a Behringer DDX 3216. Interface is a Terratec Phase 88.
Drumkit - Pearl Export Select with Ambassador clear batters and a Powerstroke III on the kick. Pork Pie Pig Lite acrylic snare. K 13" hats, Vault 19" crash, Z 18" china, ZXT 20" ride. GREAT DRUMMER(huge factor).
Kick - D112
Snare - SM57
Toms - Senn. MD421 (On loan from a friend.. I NEED these mics.)
OH - MXL 991s(same thing as the 603s)
I also made samples out of 5-8 good hits of each drum and used them for support. I completely replaced the kick. It sounded fine as just a multisample.
Guitar - Epiphone Les Paul > Peavey 5150 > Avatar 2x12 cab > SM57(also had an MD421 on there, but I cut it out in the mix)
Bass - Fender MIM P-Bass >
Hartke HA2000 > Crate 2x15 > D112
Vocals - Dude > Studio Projects B1
For the mix, I used Cubase SX 3. I mixed through the Magneto plugin. My main compression plugin was the Kjaerhus Classic compressor. I used it on everything but vocals and bass. I seem to like the Waves RVox there more. On snare, I also threw the Waves RComp as an expander to help cut out some of the hats. For verbs, I used two RVerbs on FX sends. One being a shorter, roomier sound. The other being a slightly longer, bright verb. I abuse the Cubase EQ. Heh. For the "loud" bss compression, I used the TLs Pocket Limiter:

I'll pump that snare up a bit for sure.
Thanks for the kind words, guys. If any of you want the samples I made, give me a holler. I can give you GOGs or just the slightly processed wav files(24-bit, 44.1kHz).
