Thanks guys, I'll attempt to put some compression on the drums now
that i've got a better idea of how it works.

All the hints on here as well as the tools available have been great.
I'll play more with the high pass filtering etc. Band is getting
together this evening so hopefully the EP will be ready soon :)

At the moment there is no reverb, etc, not sure if there should be.
