this is really on the basic side, and try and eq out that muddyness. i think it was pretty good, but it feels extremely unclear to listen to

Right on -- thanks guys!
Yeah, it's definitely muddy, and for a time I was going for a washed-out kind of feeling (a la Ulrich Schnauss), but then sort of went half-assed on it. Anyway, I'll attempt to do some cleanup on the reverb.  I also have a lightly LFO'd LPF on the whole drum rack, but I'm thinking I should bring that out into the clear too now...
I appreciate the feedback!
