Hey w3r3w00f. Love that rising bass sound just before the drop! Some cool rhythmic fx also. Drums need much more attack IMO. Imagine a drummer on a drum kit drumming this beat. He would hardly be breaking a sweat! Drums need to sound like a drummer is hitting them as hard as he can. Try finding some other samples or maybe use a transient shaper to add attack to your hits (I use Izotope Ozone). A good compressor used well can add a bit of 'punch' to your hits also. Mix them down, then do the same thing again until your 'drummer' is sweating. Cool effort.

Intro starts nice, drums need some work, snare is a bit muddy and all the drums sound really centered in the mix, they could use some stereo adjustment to widen the sound some.
Track would also benefit from some sub bass on all those reece sounds, which are very nice by the way. All the elements for a really good track are here just needs some tweeking. Good job though

agree on the drums lacking punch. bass-action sounds quite pro, just missin some more sub. also the pads seem like a little lost in the mix imo, maybe some more powerful drums would bring everything together. would also work on the main-theme of the track, to make it sound more "in-your-face" (if you know what i mean). i think theres big potential in this one.
cheers

DJ Pace: Hey, thanks, man.
A good review! I'll keep those things in mind and try to improve the song.
Rythor1: Cool, thanks for the good review!
I'll be sure to try out some stereo adjustments to see if I can't rework the drums a bit, although I'll probably keep the samples unless absolutely needed for further improvement. I'll be sure to add a sub-bass to all of the Reese sounds.
Shir pan: Awesome, thanks for the review. 
I'll try to bring out the pads a bit more. I like the theme of the song as it is, but there's always room for reconsideration.
I'll work on the drums too. Hopefully they'll be a little better.
Thanks for all of the reviews so far, guys.

this is sick!!! that melody is ridiculous man, and your drums they've given me some ideas! the filter makes them pop soooooo much, only prob im seein is with your sub bass i hear it but im not feelin it much, and that second melody you brought in under the first trash it its good but the first one is enough to get a crowd movin =D

Very cool bassline, but it doesn't sit well in the mix. The drums kind of sit on top of it, and it's seriously lacking sub.
The drums themselves don't sound very fleshed out either. Especially the snare could use some work, and I think some nice ghost snares would be nice.
