Opinions on our recording (drums)

bass guitar and snare sound great. bass drum needs boom, cymbals are a little quiet, and guitar needs to be turned up. toms are a little bit too "big" sounding... i think you could probably brighten the toms or make them less resonant and louder. drums (except snare) sound almost over compressed or something. i don't think it sounds bad by any means but those are small things i think you could change. good work so far!
 
The mix sounds a bit veiled. The kick needs more stab, maybe a boost around 3 or 4k. Not bad overall though, just needs some tweaking.
 
Gave the kick drum some life...I added a noise gate since some of the other drums were sneaking in there.

I added a little more snap to the snare, a little more reverb to it as well.

A few questions:

- How should the guitars (lead, rythm) be panned? Hard right/left?

- My mix in general is low in volume...what's the best way to increase this without increasing each instruments dB? For some reason, the Master track doesn't show any readouts or do anything, so I can't adjust that...

I'm getting some great input, thanks to all!
