Is it the drums?

[DBarnett]

Yeah I think it's the drums. I would try a different kit, this one sounds so studio slick and clean. Dirtier kit with more of a room ambiance and like you did to your other cue, dirty them up!

Yes, I'm working on that
I have a different kit with delay and distortion, now I just have to figure what settings to use - especially the delay
Thanks Ethan, if have any tips on the delay that'd be great

I'd stick with a subtle slap back.

Excellent - Thank you!

[DBarnett]

Howdy!
I hope you're still with me
I've made arrangement adjustments (less is more) and tried get these drums dirty and in the same space
Please let me know where I'm at - Thanks!!
I may rename this "Swamp Dog"

Not sure that it's the right call for a cue - but I'd have the drums up/closer/more equal with the guitars.
The 'sloppy' is working IMHO - and, I agree Swamp Dog is a better title.
HTH.

Yep, I agree Peter, actually I'm a little embarrassed about this mix

Dave,
Usually the last thing I record or focus on during mixing ends up too loud. So, at least you whipped that weakness out of your life.

Alrighty then, name change "Swamp Dog Down"
Re-adjusted drum volumes
Please let me know how it sounds now

I like this mix, Dave! (On these PC monitors) the balance sounds good; drums are rough (as in 'rough and tumble') where they need to be, not too clean.
Swamp Dog Down is a good title. I appreciate the mandolin being a little more engaged there about the one minute mark; thanks for that
