Up for a KE collab?

I'm thinking something like unbroken or still beats your name. Can you play those? I could totally do the drumming. Lemme know,

Well,

Sounds like a everything is masked and as if every instrument is using the same frequencys. The drums are not present at all , the cymbals are bassy as hell and theres a big mess in the bass area (100-300Hz) that might be the masking issue
and there isnt anything going on at the midhighs and highs. The mix is just very muddy.
I like the guitars so !

I cant tell you if the recording is so bad or if its the mix

Are those drums being played on one of those little Casio Keyboards? (The ones that play "A Whole New World" from Alladin?) I may be wrong...but those really sound like the drums on the cheaper Casio keyboards.

Pretty well executed, though I admit I'm not familiar with the original.
Too much reverb though - it's making mud.

My two cents...

dead on cover, just a really bad mix. yeah the cymbals are way too bassy and i agree it does sound like every instrument is using the same freqs. you should also download some better drum samples. playing is spot on though.
