Yesterday i bought a firepod and well i just wanted to test my mixing skills "which really suck" and the firepod with 5 mics on my drums!
Please Tell me what you think and what i need to do to make them sound better! Thanx!

Alright, I am no drum recording master but I'll see what I can do...
First of all, the balance of the levels is way off. The snare is loud as hell, the kick is pretty tiny, and the toms are barely there. The overhead/ cymbal sound is not too far off. I would say work out the levels first to get a better idea what is going on. You will probably need to go after the kick with some pretty aggressive EQ and compression, and way more toms. Are you relying on overheads for the toms?
We would need to know what kind of mics you're working with to really get down to the details with this. Also what other kind of gear you've got to work with.
 
Well the mics i have are

Snare - Sm57
Kick - AKG D112
Overheads - MXL 770 and MCA SP2
Toms - Audix I5

so what do you think?
 
could u post the mp3 somewhere other than tripod? it's not working for me either
(that could be why no one is helping)
