I think it's waaaay better. It's alot clearer, more refined, you can hear the different parts more distinctly, and it just sounds alot less naseating. :)
I listened to your updated version and the original back to back. I think yours has more depth and I like its nice high, clear notes which are more toned down in the original. However, when that drumstick is hammering at various points in the song, yours sticks out too much. In the original it blends better with the rest of the song and is less jarring.
