Seeking mixing / production help

Hi, I'm a top wind player (classical music) and I started to make progrock music of my own. I jumped into it teaching myself mixing (I also took 10 lessons privately) and how to compose for drums, bass, guitars... I recorded myself at home + played all parts on a midi keyboard. To sound like a real band I had to pay for a real drummer to play the drum part. He sent me the stems + mixed drums bus. I need a top producer/eng to finalize the whole thing and bring it to a TOP ... level (the recorder playing itself is at a high level) - if it's possible (maybe not). The track starts soft and there are expressive parts that should be more like rock as tension is built towards the end. Bass has a non trivial part (counterpoint rather than just groove)... So it might be considered experimental and not trivial... But this is the whole point. If I sound like everyone else than what's the point.
My questions:
Can we work remotely online on my DAW and Mac machine? I use ableton. So I can also learn from what u do... For my ears (which are NOT professional from sound eng point of view) the current overall result is ok but not good enough to be considered top. Maybe it's the arrangement, maybe the performance, maybe the midi bass/guitars, or the mixing...
I replaced today the midi drums with the drummer's mixed drum track. Pls let me know what do u think so we can think of how to work together. (This one is part of a full album to be released). Thank you. For the track itself. Please DM me if you already produced and mixed top progrock instrumental compositions.
