Disregarding the playing, does this short little piece sound anywhere near real or does it instantly sound like it was made with samples?

I am attempting to get a grasp of my biggest obstical, which is mixing the drums. I used DR-008 and some sonic implant samples inside of FL Studio.
Maybe it's hard to tell from this piece but any comments or suggestions on mixing rock drums appreciated.

Listening throuhg PC speakers and it sounds OK. Maybe the click of the kick is a bit loud for my taste

Hm, sounds a bit as if everything but the kick was played in some medium large but empty club. Not bad though.

I agree about the reverb, also, I would watch those toms.
Deep meaty toms can sound great soloed, but will just get lost in a mix and sound very muddy. You need a little bit of a 'boing' on them, a bit of ring, and they'll sit better in a mix. The snare rolls are pretty good, the mix of accents, medium and light is quite passable.
light jazz piece is it?
