Nice one m8 !
but your eqing is a bit... too warm?
your breaks are great! Nice selection of bassdrums and snares
that tamb is nice too
bass coming in: holy shit that's heavy
what I liked in your track:
-variation
-drums
-bassreece
what I disliked:
-not enough stuff going on in your track
-chop your breaks more to create more variation
4/5 structure
3/5 sound (eq too warm)
5/5 idea
4/5 drums (I like 'm but you have to chop 'm more)
overal rating: 3.74654652154/5
keep experimenting

I got an idea for your songtitles.. just bash on the keyboard and then chop off unwanted letters, play with those remaining. example:
ewojvi rujirjvb
which makes:
evolving rudebreaks
lol, review comin up

more ideas flowing in, I must say youre getting better
but.. again, louden up those drums !! theyre way too distant now
heavy flow idd
more work needed tho (add more elements)
why don't you play around more with your tracks before posting?
for example try adding efects, filters etc.

A couple of comments:
- In the beginning the drums sound a little bit to metalic.
- Lower the volume of the hihats, now they're on top of everything, while they should be in the middle. But maybe that's personal taste.
- Very nice Bassline. But the bassline and all the drums together sounds a bit chaotic, try filtering out some parts.
- A nice melody that corresponds with your bassline would be nice.

Ok starts of with a beat. Really basic. Drums need a boost, like said earlier. The bassdrum is kinda lame, maybe add some distortion to make it a little heavier.
Ghost's coming in: they dont really fit the snare. What you could do is layer the original snare with a 'normal' (non-metallic) snare, and use that same snare as ghostsnare. But then with diffirent EQ, filters, pitch, volume etc. Just expiriment.
Tambourines are just bad, I think they are too loud (compared to the original drums) and there's some other noises as well (if I hear correctly), so you might wanna filter those out to get a more clear sound. Idea is nice though.
Rides are also way too loud compared to snare and BD. I would also NOT do them every beat, but every 2 beats.
Some more abot the drums: make them more human. Im sure you have heard of humanizing drums? Well, basicly, ghost snares are already 'human addidions' to drums, but you can do some more things like change the velocity of every hit (just not too much lol). Works really well with hihats. And make the hits a few ms later or sooner. If you make the snare a few ms later, you get a more laidback feeling, and sooner, you get a more tense feeling. Also: dont overdo these things!!!
You could expiriment with the layout of the beat too. I mean, not everything has to be 2-step. I learned a lot (especially about where to put ghostsnares) by making non-2-step beats.
Ok, now about the song again: some synth coming in... Get's boring after the 4th time i hear it. Bass is pretty heavy, but too loud for the drums i guess. Also there's very little variation. But since this was about the drums (thats what the title says) that doesnt really matter...
And that's basicly the whole song
Kinda lame...
Not really worth the bandwith
omg this is rated higher then insight's tension & release
2/10 for the effort...

energize. hmmmm
beats are a bit weak. lol the bass sounds like an old aphrodite jump up track.
man u need to sort out those beats, really weak, kik to quiet, snare to quiet and hats to loud, go to work with the eq.
i quite like to "robot" samples etc, but u need a lot more work to finish it.
its kind of got novelty stamped on it, im not being funny, and i dont mean to sound harsh....but 99% finished!!! youve got about half a tune here, sort your beats, sort the eq and add some more atmosphere. it needs.....something!!!

android, energize, whatever.
one other thing........the "bass" spoken sample sounds a bit familiar,
did the original have "how low can u go" after it by any chance.
if its not that one sounds like its been lifted from somewhere, u did read the bit about copywritten sample didnt u

hoo yeah gota reply ....
well i guess it's ok , realy like the way the breaks kinda folow a
realy nice vibe , but:
1- i think the cymbals come out a little too loud , kinda cuts the vibe out !!! So that you gota work .
2-i dont think the breaks variation is realy needed but you'l got to work moore on the soudz on the back then !!
Realy like the slamin bass it's my kind of bass
3- a little pause in the midle could be cool
4- moore variation and some back soudz |
thanx mate, but erm... have you ever tried to make drumloops?
If so, you'll probably know that it's really really hard to make 'm sound right...

so you don't use one-hit samples. You just chop 'm. You don't make 'm

Snare sounds a bit dry
Ride is defo too loud!
Same goes for the synths!
Beats aren't bad, but apart from that... More of an experiment with your beats than a real track, no?
