Really good job on the drums but the bass is almost the same the all way down. Sound quality is good, add some xtra flava to it!!!!!

i liked your ghost hats and stuff...keep em rollin...didnt like those conga things...theyre too vintage for this track...i think the bass coulda been a bit nastier..some distortion and etc...and the drums sounded a bit too digital for my taste...
not bad...but could be better...doesnt have enough elements to keep my head bobbing...

The problem with the bongos is that they are perfectly quantized, a bit loud and should have at least room reverb on them. A lot of the drums in the intro sound awekward, but could be salvaged with some tlc in the key editor. Perhaps too many drum rolls once the bass drops, stick with the step beat in the forefront - these rolls placed into the back of the mix with reverb or the abiesome would sound nice. The mix at 2:58 sounds very nice. I really like this bass sound and how you've used it here and throughout the rest of the tune. This track has a very nice style to it and I like the core drums and bass a lot no need adding rthymic bells and whistles to that, perhaps adding some sweeps or atmos to spice up the core. With this and some tightening up on the drum variations, you'll have a really solid track.

Drums are quite punchy, which is nice. Not too fond of your ghosts though, or the hats, or the cowbells.
Melodies and sonds aren't intresting.
This track just sounds like a track from someone who is just starting out with producing.
1.5/5

It needs more to it. I think it's a little basic.
Drums could do with some groove, either use the humanise presets or add some swing into the step sequencer. That 808 cowbell, presumably from the fruity 808 kit, should be replaced with a better sample. As it's a DS sound, use Drumsynth to tweak it to your needs, if you really want to keep it there.
Bassline is ok, but with some filtering, maybe record an fx channel, it would sound better. I think it stays to similar throughout.
Good start anyway, but IMHO more is work needed.
