Hi, I use a limiter on all channels. How does my tune sound?

So yeah, I use a limiter on all my channels to keep my levels organized. I don't make it so it crushes (more on this below), though, I make it so that - for instance a lead synth with a ceiling of -12 stays below -12. How I do this is I put the limiter on the channel, and push the gain up on the limiter until it starts giving me gain reduction because I pushed it too far.
On my drums though, I absolutely limit the living fuck out of them to make it so their loud, although I keep in mind my headroom -for instance a kick drum at -10db- I would set the ceiling (-10db, like I did above) and push the gain so it gets crushed. This is the only way I know how to achieve this loudness on my kick and snare.

Please let me know how my mix is, I haven't heard of anyone using a limiter on every channel before and may be "doing it wrong", but my ears tell me otherwise... just let me know what you think.
