Nice energy! having the drums smaller and snappy helps make the rest of the track sound huge.
Hi, fellas! Thanks again for the comments and feedback!
DjAbthrash, glad you liked it in general, thanks! I think the low and mid distortion is due to the bass, which was distorted as a whole, not by bands. Regarding the mix, I mastered it and maybe it was a bit squashed. Thanks for the constructive criticism!
Rentaroot, thanks! I like toms to sound round and big, but also with attack and energy, not an easy task, hehe.
Dom, thanks, man! Yeah, I was debating between getting them bigger or not, and with so much double kick drum I thought going for the clicky way was the best. If I had had more time (I began mixing the last Thursday available…) I would have automated the eq on kicks to have them bigger in the slower parts, but it was a tedious task and didn´t have much time left…
Thank you so much, Tom! Glad you liked it.
