I'm not good to give feedback, but this left side clap it's distracting maybe. This quiet 1:00, in the end it can be more transition to your next part, and using more low bass 1:07. Sorry if it's not a good advise. A favorite on this is the drums sound and cool rhythm! Have a nice week

The drums are on point. I agree to lose left side clap (it subtracts vs adds). You should definitely (1) make total silence @ transicion en 1 minuto or instead (2) add a slightly menacing bass.  The transitions are good but the phrases transitioned to lose some effect each time, so maybe change the scenery some after each transition to captivate interest.

I heard this when listening "from your landing page" without reading the description and came here to be like "dopest drums yaaaa" and then read the all-caps feedback / criticism request.

I heard this when listening "from your landing page" without reading the description and came here to be like "dopest drums yaaaa" and then read the all-caps feedback / criticism request. [spoiler=Per your request] I'm not 100% sure what the intent is behind the track, and I'm pretty sure that if I heard this "live" I'd have a very different reaction than how I heard it (listening to headphones) vs. jamming the same thing in the car. My take on the track is that it comes across as a jam. To facilitate discussion I will assume agreement that (a) there's an observable persistence of the similar drum material w/ subtle / additive alterations, and (b) the track features two primary "musical activity" sections that I'll call "anxious arp" and "melodic chorus." From the energy / mix / feel point of view _everything here is on-point_ and I genuinely enjoyed jamming this. First, on the drum subtlety aspect: drum build around 1:58 is the kind of shit that most people _feel_ rather than hear or appreciate intellectually. It's also one of my favorite moments in the track because in the 1:40 "anxious arp" return you're echoing the tension in the bass movement going from pedal to end-of-phrase high note which contrasts with the macro-build pacing. So you have this awesome macro "crescendo" via drum layering and the differently-paced bass tension "crescendos" working together. To avoid arbitrary ideation, I want to look at something audibly effective about the track that is, perhaps, not investigated nor supported in the same way. In my opinion what this needs is rests (evidenced by the 1:00 ringing of the melodic lead "paused" / suspended -- this moment is dramatic AF, and worth developing however you want (repeat it to please the attentive listeners who remembered, to fake out the attentive listeners, or fake out THEN please -- whatever you do, do it w/ purpose). I think that's kind of it, because rests will force designing unique moments in the track at necessary moments to "prepare the silence", or perhaps will illuminate an additional element of structure that can spice up a repeat of past material w/ a different level of variation. My SO is a visual artist and artists have all sorts of ways of sanity-checking shit: flipping artwork upside-down or defocusing their eyes. If you were to similarly try to birds-eye-view the track (e.g., listen to 100% wet reverbed version of this, or play this at barely-audible level) -- what would you hear? What would stand out? Is this about the transitions or are we just jamming the anxious arp build-up to the chorus badassery? Or is this a setting for some drama thangs or interruptions or anything? All that said, love the content, and now actually saying this: dopest drums yaaaa! [/spoiler]

mix is a bit blocky/chunky, maybe more staccato would be good, perhaps a drum sample with less background texture, or just cut it up a bit more staccato? not feeling that arpeggio, should be changed up after just like 4 repetitions or maybe even removed altogether.

that bass is sooo tasty though, the texture and the swung rhythm, and all the bell-like synths around it. that supple little kick at the end is so nice too.
