The weakest part of your setup are probably the KRK

I've heard those in comparison and was not convinced for
mixing/mastering in general, but I cannot judge them for drum mixing
on a budget. Note however, that this directly affects the processing
(compression/eq/etc) that you'll be doing and it may or may not be
possible to 'get used' to these monitors and learn how to properly
tweak details of the mix with them. best, robin
Some great advice someone gave me
was to play some music you are very
familiar with on your monitors before the mix session to "tune" your
ears to the monitors.
With the "ear tuning" tip you can get good results with any half decent
monitors. A friend of mine has some awful Samson monitors but manages
acceptable results.
I got some new monitors a while back and auditioned a few including KRK.
I ended up getting Adam A5X and am very pleased with them.
Happy mixing
