thrash metal drums help

[bozmillar]

I recorded this song this weekend. I used sampled drums, because my kit has mesh heads to keep the neighbors sane. I need some feedback on how they sound. Too fake? The hardest part for me are the fills. If you can point out any spots that scream "fake drums" I'll go back and massage it a bit to see if I can fix it.

and I should mention, like always, I have not lyrics. I haven't added any eq or compression at all to anything here, so it's a very raw mix. I'm mostly concerned about the drums for now.

Sounds pretty good to me. That sounds pretty realistic and natural for fake drums.

Nice, the intro reminds me like early metallica or Dream Theater's song In the name of god, the drums sound very good, if i would "massage" something a little bit that would be the hi-hat... but very nice!

Any time my music can be compared to Dream Theater, I'm happy (although I've got quite a ways to go). Is the hi hat too loud? too consistant? hmm. I'll give that some thought. Thanks.
