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 :D

I'd stick with a subtle slap back.

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 :oops: 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.

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 :lol:
