Drum recording advice/raw mp3 enclosed

[dangeorge6]

Hey guys,

Hopefully this isn't too selfish of a request, but perhaps it'll prove educational to some...Would anyone mind giving me a critique on this drum track i recorded last night?

It's for an indie pop rock song. Here's what I used:

2 octava mc012 for overheads placed about a foot above the left and right sides of the kit, running through 2 DBX 586 preamps

octava on the hihat to DIGI 002 preamp

Audix D6 for kick, placed half way inside drum angled towards the beater, running through my Really Nice Pre => Mytek 2 channel A/D

SM57s for snare running through my Really Nice Pre and lightly compressed with a Really Nice Compressor => Mytek 2 channel A/D

SM57 on rack and floor tom to DIGI 002 Preamp

Everything went to its own track in ProTools, I added some Waves Rverb on everything and on the snare. I also added some Waves Rcompresor to the kick and snare. Did some conservative panning.

We also have available to us an Audio Technica 4047, and a pair of Shure KSM32s.

Listening to the mp3, what would you do differently with the given equipment, any suggestions, am I on the right track? Thanks!!!

P.S. we recorded in a medium sized, dead sounding room. We could record upstairs in a more live room if needed
