well, can't say too much about it, don't wanna be offendive (j/k
)
guess you're just starting off with producing ??
really, take some time programming breaks, it's not all beer n cookies to make a break funky n groovy, layer more, bring more structure in it (and in yer tracks)
u'll get there, just do it a lot, program a lot of breaks, and learn how to chop up a break
(lots of clean breaks to be found: http://www.rah.gq.nu/bourbon/index.html --> this is a goldmine for every producer !!!)
and you'll find out some tricks yourself to make a break groovy (f.e. layer hihats !!! that does a fucking lot, learn about ghost notes and dynamic velocities n stuff, not that hard, but you just gotta learn, read, do and hear it at the same time, that way you'll be on your way waaay faster than when you f.e. only read about it or only hear it, but not knowing what you hear
)
keep on rolling tho, no matter what !!

Drums are way to light. They need a lot more weight to give any power to the track.
Search foor a booming kick and a smashing snare. Or layer some till you get the effect.
Also, a track needs more than drums + bassline + some variation in the drums. So add some more elements (melodies, background noises, effects...)
