I’ve been narrowing my focus of hobbies of late - sat back on the speaker monitor designing in favor of improving my chops through exercise and practice - Also set-up a whole new drum kit from scratch leaving the past kits behind to see what else I can come up with.
Try this on your playback systems and enjoy:
That’s a pretty cool tune! Nice work🤘🏼
Great sounding drums Steve!
Here’s a pretty cool live performance. The sound isn’t great but the I like the performance.
Wonderful stuff Steve!
This brings much joy to my heart, to hear your recordings.
Yah, forget the speakers for now… I mean, DIY just went up a notch, or three, I think…
Wide spread local power outage - I’m still on generator power and it’s cold out (25*F).
Lost power here tonight while I was mixing this tune that is so slow for a drummer that it is hard to stay alert while playing it - have to eat chocolate to stay in the groove!
Done in Only 2 TAKES!! 
I have been working-on the dynamics of the drum-kit voices and got the cymbals a bit more natural sounding so I can do rising crescendos on them now and the rest of the kit sounds more like me playing upon an acoustic kit, finally !
Play this ^ one loudly for your loved ones and, HAPPY NEW YEAR!
Such a great song… love 4 da Scorps!!
Updated just now –>
Much learned about mixing as evidenced by this rendering/REMIX - hope you enjoy.
Please let me know if the overall balance of instruments and tone sounds OK 
or not 
so I can figure out where I need more work . . . (and what playback system you used - headphones, earbuds, car audio, etc . . .).
Final Mix of the last one again - - I brought that grungy killer guitar work up in the mix and leveled all the instruments now that my ears have rested [I can hear detail more acutely].
One take - rough mix tonight . . . . [I heard this tune for the 1st time tonight and went; “Oh Yeah!”].
Loop it 3 times before you bail - it is a challenging piece to keep up with the subtle changes.
Remix of the above:
Much better [I think - earphone worthy?]
OK, I found the attack on the drums to be overpowering and the cymbals a bit too bright [on the 2nd mix] so here is the mastering mix according to my ears and checking the mix on several headphones and speakers - hope you like it:

Much more balanced and the vocals are up-front like they should be . . . Unless there are any recommendations otherwise - this is my last cut at this tune.
Take1, rough mix . . .
That one is keeping ya pretty busy, pretty good take. Mix isn’t bad either.
Thanks, Eric!
OK - this is an all original by an old friend and I just interjected myself into his work for fun - geared toward the ladies as instruction in maintaining their flowers . . . 
This one has eluded me until tonight after 17 takes [still needs work - { I’m so self critical }] . . . Rough 1st Mix . . .
Worth a listen - I’ll come back and clean it up later . . . . {Drums are a bit loud in places . . . 
}
Loop it 3 times before you bail.
Something completely different for your ears/speakers/headphones . . . This one is all about the mix . . . hope you like it . . . the stringed/bowed instruments and the groove got me going . . . . remixed the original tracks too . . . only 2 takes at this one . . .
OK, I moved the 
reverb from the drums to the master mix so all tracks sound like they are in the same room, boosted the Bass and Strings a bit - this smoothed the edginess and warmed up the over all sound.
