MIDI-DRUM-MIX-(-0.7-Db-MAX) TRE Attempt.

So, today I wanted to make a pass at creating a John Bonham inspired digital drum stem that had a semi analog yet dynamic clean harmonics. It's a basic, simple 8 bar 120BPM.

I can use some ears on it~

I created with MIDI snippets run through RF-Drum Pads VST - Preset: Rock1. The name of the file is what it is. FileName:MIDI-DRUM-MIX-(-0.7-Db-MAX)-PanR&L-High-Wide-Stereo-ShortReverb-TrebLimited._v1.0.1_2.3.24.

Track was mixed with the TRE Philosophy in mind. I produced the MIDI track from blank DAW. Midi track was duplicated. Set in 2 separate tracks. Panned hard R @ L. Gain Staged both tracks @ -13.7. Drum Bus R&L Set to -9.5. Master set to -0.3. Bounced Stereo track per file name : @(-0.7-Db-MAX) confirmed with FreeMeter.

Plugins stacked Top to Bottom: kHs Stereo, RichDrums, Raum, Khs Compression, kHs Transient, Free Meter. Adjustments and settings too long to list.

I grew up engineering big live shows. So, all this mastering in the box is a huge paradigm shift for me to learn, absorb and apply. Did this work? I have about 60% work and 30% WTF? about 2hrs in to this endeavor.

All feedback and input is very much obliged!

Does my description fit the narrative?

What you experience on your end?

Phones, speakers, both?

Is my goal accomplished?

Need work? Advice?

TIA!
