Can I get some ears on this mix down, specifically the drums?
Hey guys,

So I just finished this track not too long ago and started shopping it to some labels. I've only heard back from one who passed on it, but the comment the guy gave me was that the drums "aren't tight and crisp enough". Now this blew me away because I really thought I nailed these drums. To me on my monitors here the kick has good bass and sounds nice and punchy, the snare is snappy and the cymbal percussion cuts through nicely.

So I'd like to get some fresh ears on this if I could for some other opinions. Should I go back and re-mix these drums or not? To my ears, I don't know how much further forward in the mix I could bring these drums without really overpowering everything, and yet the A&R comment still stands. I posted a short clip of the songs main section just so you can get an idea:
