Allow me to introduce to you Hugo Ribeiro , the best drummer ive ever worked with.
He is a total machine, Unbelievably tight and there is nothing too technical he cant do, great feel, great communication, check him out, you wont be disappointed.
Haha. More than one Aaron Smith in the world you know. And the irony is you have just given free promotion to someone you seem to have some anoyence with.
Lower the guitars in the mix or carve out a little more room for the drum's frequencies, push the rhythm section. Maybe do some cutting or rearrangement on the chorus and breaks as right now it's a little flat and lacking in dynamics going between the sections, and don't be afraid to really soar on the vocals add some higher harmonies over the starts of the chorus and it'll become a much more punchy track.

No issue with the guy - just wish he'd tour with a group so I could see him play again.
As for techniques, I use the most common ones.
2 OHs spaced pair L & R
1 Kick mic in front of the hole
1 Snare
1 on each Tom
1 HiHat (Sometimes I don't even need to use the HiHat mic. WATCH HERE)
1 Room Mic in front of th kit at about 3-4 meters away (I like to capture the boominess of my 24" kick)
Typical really.. what I try to get is the best source sound possible. With a great instrument(tuned and played well) you can get great results without 3000 dollar mics and pres, etc...
The sound source(and player) are key!!!!
I think everybody knows that.

Thats odd! Not here.. although I've encountered sync problems from some videos in some computers before. Also sometimes youtube conversion ****s up the sync.
This is an original song I wrote called "Bend". I wrote this song back in October. All of the instruments are synthetic except for the drums of course. It was all recorded and mixed by me.
I plan on doing more originals in the future.
I'm also available for session work! Check my website for more info!
