I like the drums on your track. I can't say I'm a big fan of the piano sound as it sounds a little too much like a preset. I think with little tweaks to customize the sound your song can be a banger ! Great drums. Simple yet very effective. I don't particularly like the bass, it clashes with...- LbrT
