A nice spread across the stereo field. Good mix. Not to detract from how good this is...but the snare roll seemed out-of-sorts with the rest of the piece. A bit jarring, while the rest is so "peaceful". A simple timpani (maybe two hits) might work better in both of those spots??? A good listen. fj 150+ Songs produced using BIAB RealTracks And 50 more... and some more...

If lowering the volume or moving it to the distance doesn't improve it I might try your suggestion.
