Annoying cymbal in portfolio mix

[The Kid]

The mix is quite old, 2011 I think, and I kinda like it for my portfolio.
I already put it there.
But now I played it loud, and there's a cymbal a bit too loud.
Should I keep the mix in my portfolio, or delete it?

The cymbal sounds fine to me. Maybe the vocals a bit too dry/anemic.

This is what professionals worry about :>? Nothing sounds wrong here to me.

It's been a long time, but this IS a dry mix, and I can't imagine bigger vocals without making the band sound smaller.
Thanks for listening!

When you crank the volume up to band rehearsal level, the cymbal in the middle sticks out.

What's wrong with things sticking out? Unless they are unpleasant things.

I've always hated cymbals sticking out lol IIRC this one was bleeding through the kick mic.
But if you people don't find it offensive I'll probably keep the song in my portfolio.
Without thinking about the mix, it has a vibe.
