James and I co-wrote this instrumental. I asked the drummer from my High School days (and a few years beyond too) Ron to do the drums.

Nice one. The drums sound great! I like the restart at around 4:20

As my mate James says, nothing beats a live drummer (pun intended I'm sure).

Here, listening on vintage Auratones and a sub driven by a Marantz 1060  - volume at about 10 or 11 o'clock ...
the snare drum is consistently too loud killing any chance of hearing the timing of most all the other instruments except for the quite often way too loud electric guitar.
Turning off the sub it turns into a snare drum and lead guitar song. The bass disappears in a lot of the parts.
Would love to hear it with a balanced well eq(d) mix.
 
Sorry to be ... well ... bluntly honest.
Nice tune and good idea and nice composition ...... hate the mix.

The kit sounds really good. I'm a little bit with Steve on the various instrument levels. They aren't way off, but the center guitar is a little too up front and the warmth from the bass is missing. This, being mixed by the bass player, is surprising...
 
Cool tune though, I'd just tweak the mix a bit...
 
Regards,
Dan

Thanks for the listen Glyn.
 
Thanks Steve and Dan.
 
I'll take a look at those issues tonight when I get home. I did notice (in a road test) specifically that the solo after the breakdown was a bit too loud.
 
Ya, the bass could use some love.
 
I for one am happy with the overall drum kit and it's levels so I'm not likely to muck with that too much.

Nice track bapu and enjoyed the guitar playing, the others beat me to the instrument balance issue (no pun intended). I look forward to hearing the re-mix.

I was just listening on my desktop speakers, but it sounded really solid to me.  Nice composition, and some excellent playing by all involved.

Some nice instrumental Rock here, guys. Cool song!
Do agree that the bass needs some love, and that the center guitar is a little too upfront (and perhaps a little bright).
This was listening on HPs'. Will give it another go in my studio.
All the best.
 

Thanks for inviting me Ed. Great to get Ron on board too, really lifts the track.
