Very cool tune. I like this a lot. The mastered version sounds much better. It's a good mix. Don't think the drums need much improving. It all gels very well together.
Thanks Bro - It's a total remix from the 8 track original tape, then mastered.
The drums were originally recorded to 6 tracks and bounced down to two. I think we had and AKGC100 on snare , a failry budget kick drum mic that I can't remember , Two Radio Shack PZM's as overheads/room Mics , an SM58 near the toms, and another dynamic on the percussion player.
The tricky part was balancing it before the other parts had been recorded on the 6 tracks we freed up with the bounce. I did it in my bedroom on HiFi Speakers
Not quite what I would have gone for now but not bad considering.

We never finish a mix... we simply abandon them.
You can't polish a turd, but you can always spray paint it GOLD
