hey guys , in this track exactly at 1.00 the drums sound really close compared to the other synths that followed
is it stereo imaging ?

The drums have very little to no reverb. That's one of the best ways to make them seem more in your face. There's a good chance they have saturation/mids stereo enhanced. The leads are pushed back because they' have more reverb, and slightly taking down the dry can make it feel further pushed back

Yea what he said. Reverb and the volume of the drums makes a huge difference in the mix.
