This is sounding pretty badass. One quick trick by the way, when using guitar amp sims, throw in a low pass filter that gently cuts off around 6.8 KHz or up to maybe 8K and cut a little EQ notch out of the 4Kish range. That can really help to take some of that buzzy fizzy sound out and give them some extra body. And if your DAW has any bussing options, look into parallel compression and reverb. Could really help those drums pop and feel bigger overall. And the offer as always stands that if you want, you can send any DIs or stems out to me or some of the other engineers and we can play with them a little too. look forward to hearing the next steps.

Also, as an added bit, Since you have been doing alot of figuring out what works and what does'nt and generally putting time into improving your sound, Check out a book called "The Four Hour Work Week" It covers alot of good excercises and techniques for improving the kinds of things you are trying to get better at.
