I dig this! Love those trashy, clanging drums, the whole thing feels like some kind of off-kilter festival.

I like how the bell(ish) sounds add to everything else. I like how the drums are "busier" but other parts leave plenty of space.

Thanks! The drums were where I started and definitely set the direction for the rest. I like the off-kilter festival take, going to try and picture that while listening to it! While I was making it, it was making me imagine workers in a dangerous, but not totally unpleasant, mining site.

Yeah! If I remember right, I basically had two different sets of bass drum + snare sample I really liked so I decided to just use both and have them compete/work together. Since I start with them and they set the tone for everything I did after, I definietly let them hog a lot of room in the song, haha.

Oh and the bells, yeah! I just keep going back to bell sounds, they always seem to work for me. I've had to resist the urge to put bells in every single WB track, but they still end up in most of them at least for a couple accents/transition cues, haha.
