I think it's a good mix excluding the drums which a lot of which unfortunately has to do with tracking. To me the snare sounds like it's got a taped head or the head is too thick and/or the attack overly enhanced with a compressor so it's turned into the sound of a pencil hitting a table. Also if you had access to a nice room, room sound would give you some size. Overheads are a bit funky sounding to me. Sounds like they are thick cymbals through cheap AKG condensors through a mackie pre or something....kind of a bandpassed sound. Thinner cymabls aren't so loud and you can get a bit more of a natural sound through the overheads as compared to the close mics. The snare drum is fixable as you can replace it with a sample and the drummer may not even know if you do it well enough. EQ. comp and reverb won't do much for an already bad sounding snare though. I tricked several drummers with bad sounding drums.
