The only comment I'll make, donpatt, is...

Have you taped yourself yet? Have you had a listen AFTER the fact to a full performance (voice and everything)? You might find, after a listen after the fact, that that drum level is closer to a real mix than perhaps the muted way you have had them before. A lot of the time, we want to hear what WE are doing, front and center, but listening later, we sometimes find that whet WE are playing isn't NEARLY so important as we thought!

It's hallmark of user demos that the RH sounds are usually WAY too upfront in the mix. But the inverse of that also says that things we WANT to hear less of are actually more important that we like to admit. And the first of these is the drums, IMO.

Unless you are doing VERY muted cocktail styles, the drums are always front and center in ANY mix. Seldom is any mix allowed to escape a studio where, at ANY point in the song, you could go 'Wow! The guitarist (or the keyboard player) is drowning out the drums!'. But you'll many, if not most user arranger demos where that could be said...

At least record yourself before you make those mixing decisions, and compare to pro recorded music. Never let your drums get UNDER that level, and you'll always sound full and punchy.
