The problem I hear is that you are on a small tight stage and there is way to much cymbal bashing. The top end is polluted with the constant ringing of cymbals, so you can't hear anything else in the top end - the vocals are totally masked and you can't make out the vocalist at all.
In close quarters drummers have to excersise control and keep a handle on their volume, which is not a very easy thing to accomplish for allot of players.
