Drums defo need more layering. And bring the hats a bit more to the front.

When the bassline comes in, it plays the same melody. A bit simplistic. And it's a tad too loud.

Overall the track is a bit too repetetive. You use the same elements the whole time, I think you need a bit more changeups.

1st listen:
everything sounds so far away... almost like you are using the Karaoki EQ setting Big Grin
neat drumbeat. i like the off step kicks before the 2nd snare. surya was very correct about the need for change ups though.

2nd listen:
this could be a solid ambiant track. some recommendations:
bring out the ambiant sounds, maybe even pitch them up a little.
add some drum beat edits (that kick rush gets predictible)
try to change the bassline so that it compliments the melody instead of mirroring it (easier said than done, i know...)
add more cymbals, maybe a ride, a crash or two here and there.

overall, i do not know if you are very new to DnB and just trying to get a feel for your own vibe, or if you were shooting for an atmospheric track - so i am reluctant to say "do this' or "do that."
the point of my feedback is to make what i am hearing now sound cooler.

i think you can do it Cool

peace
