yeah this track got more balls then youre others
the things you do with those bass loops at 1.18 are cool
the cowbells are a bit weird
the sound fx are good but sometimes a bit too mutch
plenty off variation in the track , very good.
cheers

No messing around with the intro here - nice clear drums. Good stereo image. Sound that comes in at 0:56 is strange and its volume takes away from the attention given to the nice sound that comes in at 1:07. The drop out at 1:51 with the sound leading up to it is very nice!! As I said on one of your earlier tracks, keep working with your ghost snares - they are too prominent and different sounding than your main step snare - try using a snare that is much "smaller" and drier (probably won't sound very nice on its own. The old breakdance sound that comes back in at the end is great and is what gave your opening depth - try working with that a bit more. A nice improvement. I'll rate when I get a chance to listen to it on my monitors.

too much drums at the end of the intro, I wouldn't put in the high bongo thingies.
Really dont like the bassline coming in after that, I think it's irritating (in dutch: zeurderig). So I was glad when that part was over Wink Your drums are quiet nice, although I dont like the snare, may be because it's unprocessed ( Confused ) try adding a little reeverb and EQ it. Or just find another sample, and layer that. There are too much drums used sometimes, like I said in the intro. I like the effects at 1:15. After the bassline is gone, the track gets a little empty, try adding another melody or something like that.
For now: 2/5

Introbeats coud use a bit more hi end on the snare.

Sound of the bassline is cool.

Some cool basslines and idears, but overall the execution of the track is unintresting and a bit boring.

Drums get a bit boring after a while too, try spicing them a bit up.

1.75/5 for the track
2/5 for the sound

a lot beefier but i dont like those doulbe hit clap sounding things you do with the snares...i wasnt really feeling the bassline..(personal tates) didnt really like the drums they could be more active imo...this sounds way too digital imo...too much like video game music from sega...your toms or litlle congas are a tad loud imo...this does get boring...sorry..some cool ideas hear and there, but just wasnt interesting

2/track
1.5/sounds (sorry i just didnt feel them, too digital and didnt have any kind of real dnb feel to is)

Your drums sound kind of weak. The giant china crash could use a little beef.

Interesting bass, reminds me of the original DOOM for some odd reason. I think the melody or timbre is similar. In fact, this song kinda has a midi feel. It is lacking in the FX department.

On the bright side, you have lots of cool rhythms, and a very groovy and chilly bass sequence. Your song writing is pretty good too, you have resisted the urge to drag the paintbrush across the pattern sequencer.

I see you use FL, you should get FL 5, it has a lot of cool new tools.

3 / 5
