While it does sound like it was recorded outdoors - to these old-guy ears - it doesn't sound much like the reference tracks - which sound recorded up-close.
Balance? Sounds a bit left-side heavy/lacking on the right... at least in the beginning.
Interested to read other comments.

Maybe if it had less 'verb, and try some side-to-side panning, even?
The playing sounds legit.

Thank you much for your comments. You've given me a few things to ponder. My main concern was it sounding legit. Best!

In my humble opinion the samples don’t sound authentic enough upon comparing your track to the reference tracks.
As far as the arrangement goes I think you did a good job on that. Not sure what samples you are using but maybe you might want to check out spitfire audio. They have a package called “drumline” and their samples are super high quality.

"Drumline" IS what I used. I appreciate you taking the time to comment.

John - a little off-topic - do you ever check your private messages?

I've never checked before, but I can now see that I want to pay more more attention to what is being sent. Thanks for the heads-up. Best! John Dale
