Drumlines should roll more fluently, add some ghosts maybe.
Not feeling the main synth, this synth and the co-lead wobbly arpeggio (introduced at 1:53) don't match (off tone). Add some more bass stabs, the tune doesn't have clear bass elements. Nice atmosphere around 0:40 Vocal is great.
You need to build more tension, after the second drop some elements should be added to make it a steaming roller IMO.

With some rework this is a good track.

First of those drum edits sound weird, and then the cowbell makes it even weirder sounding. I dig the mellow vibe once the pad comes in. but then you start adding the dark snippets, and it just throws the tune of again. Once the main break starts I like the ideas, but the bass and synths call for a way uglier and nasty break. i would rethink the drop. All in all not bad, but not very good either. Ill give you a 6/10 just for the mastering and mixdown

Hmmm maybe to work a little bit moer on the build up in the intro u will "mask" the drum confusion u made in the first drop IMO.

More bass in this tune is needed the stabs are somehow "slow" and "soulless".
Interesting FX u use there...
The synth are nicely tuned but u need to calculate the beats and the bars where u play them....

The second drop needs to be rearanged....
Not much is hapenning....
But interesting idea I rate this 6.5/10

Intro drum's sound real dry,..maybe layer the odd shaker to smooth thing's out a bit,..background pad's could do with a boost,...real nice chord's n sound's btw,...maybe edit that break in with your drum's more,...give em more rollin action,...some real nice ideas in this,...lovin the deep dark chord's,...cheers.

Can anyone tell me what a ghost drum is exactly?

i go down to the velocity part of the piano roll and i use the pencil tool to make random changes to each note's velocity. as simple as this may be, it makes a world of difference when you listen to the drums.

use use ghost snares. they in a slower song, they should be very subtle with low volume. a ghost snare or a ghost "flam" every now and then will make a drum sequence sound more human
