Boring track its not drum & bass but minimalistic electro so its out of place here .
to much reverb on track
the drum sounds have no impact
If you use distortion/overdrive on individual sounds they become more present maybe you could try it
Its difficult to say something positive about this track sorry .
Keep on making tracks !!!

First off this was a 4 hour deal i dont know how long it takes you to make songs. But its a Tease of whats to come. 2nd off there is no reverb on any of the tracks so maybe your just hearing the comperssion i dunno. Drums are very solid im shure anyone else whom listens to it agree. Im ususally very positive but it just set me off that some guy whom doesnt know that much about what he is hearing tryes to run someone down about it. Ok thats it im done no more ranting.

i would ignore the fact someone says its out of place, it is drum n bass, but i would boost the low end and maybe add some variation on the beats, sounds ok though, rollin.

very cool intro. The little cymbal goes "tink" and I go "aaand?" boom, snare. Beautiful. Nice way to open up.
The perc builds up and in comes the bass (could use a little more... bass). The only thing I don't like is that little metallic kinda jungle drum. I think some kind of modulation on it would give the track a little variety.
You have lots of cool perc samples. The track doesn't seem to have much of a direction. I'd like to see what the finished project comes out like.

Hmmm, you've got some beats and a sub... good basis, but you absolutely need more than that to make a track intresting. Drums could use more variations than just the hats coming and going, and the sub is too loud.
1.5/5 for the track
1.5/5 for the sound

Hey Surya I knew the sub is too loud from looking at the grapic eq you can clearly see that is definatly booming 
But I was just wondering someones opinion. If you look at Some jump up dnb like baron or dj hazard or some of those othe guys the sub bass is a litlle louder too and i like that sound. If you look at the graphic you can see that the bass is 2-3 db louder than the rest of the track. How many db should i trun it down to get a puonding sound and still have a level sounding mix.

Nice intro - perhaps a little too drastic panning there - and the snare sample you used does have too much reverb on it - and that comes from a guy who loves reverb. Some subtle ghost snares would spice this up. When the sub hits and the techy clancky sounds come in, this tune rocks - rolls very nicely. Second lower snare is perfect. The sub may be a bit heavy but kinda in the old jungle tradition. In fact, why not try cuttin some of those old jungle breaks into this beat - and maybe some vocal samples.

I like the begin with the ting sound.
Nice beats, especially the percussion. Could be me, i think the perc sounds lofi, but very good in that way.
A lil' bit more bass maybe? And try to put some variation into it
Synts could help too.

yea the beats boring in the start, so you should have the hihat pitter start up a bar or two sooner, like 4 bars after the snare is introduced.
after that high bongo comes in it's just a wait till the drop. but you just reuse the same beat, even after you did a break... with the same snare and kick, you need a new snare and a smoth flowing beat...
best i can say, maybe evne showing us a little bit of a lead would have helped, or having the bassline distorted to act as the lead.

Yaright mate, just d/l'd ur track.
Sounds like somthin I made when i just started out, how long u bin doin it for?
Its got some flow to it, everyones right tho the freq's are messed up abit and it does need a hard snare. Its also too much of the same thing, im not dissin u tho believe me, wot software u usin?
Definatly use everyones critisism to ure advantage and spend some time finishing it off, i reckon u could have a nice little roller at the end with some synth effects and more structured beats.
Stick at it man

so,to be honest - i don´t really like it. the beat goes on and on and it seems that it´s always the same . you should play around with the drums and make something wicked - not a straight "boring" beat . sorry mate,i do not really like it !

alright,
i'd have to say it is pretty boring, but there's definately the basis there for something with a little more va va voom. The bass is ok, but maybe it isn't defined enough. maybe you could try using a slightly sharper sound. Drum loop is nice and there are soome nice ideas, but there don't seem to be any build up to drops, which is always a bit of a let down in my eyes, or ears?! Ends a bit suddenly too? maybe try fading out if you can't think of a decent way to end it, keep it going tho anyway man!
