ANother Drum clip for the experts

The mix is not processed in any way. Just the way it was recorded into Sonar. I'm using a D112 in the kik, a SP C1 aboit 18" in front of the kik, a Beta 57 on snare, SM-57's on toms and Rodent-5's in xy config overhead. I phase aligned OH's for snare and cut their level back by 6 dB. To me, it sounds OK, but not "clear" enough, even when I EQ & comp. That's why I'm posting the raw tracks. I want to know if any of you golden ears hear anything I'm doing that may be wrong. Here's a link. Sorry it's a yousendit link. I dunno how to post it so it auto launches WMplayer.
 
Not sure what you're asking here. To me it's kinda impossible to comment on the sound of a kit without hearing it in a mix. What's the style? Rock? Metal? Jazz?

Other than that, the kick is a little wimpy to my ears. The rest sounds ok.
 
Definitely Rock. The kik sounds better when I compress and EQ it. I just wanted to know if anybody hears any glaring phase or placement selections. I've heard that my OH's sound dark, but been given no options as to what would sound brighter.
