@Iron Keys, would you be able to pick this one out if it were anonymized in a competition?

I like the originality... Its very creative. A lot of different types of sounds that keeps the beat interesting and it all goes nicely together. Its mixed really well too. Good work on this.

The drums aren't really hip hop drums, sound like pop drums from the 80's. Consider adding something to play off of that main sample. The scratches are a good touch, but try lining them up with the awe sample, so it sounds like its the awe sample being scratched, may or may not work, probably wont, but is worth a try IMO.
I think the most import thing is to replace those drum sounds.

I definitely tried out some new and interesting drums when I made this. I like the alternating hats but have mixed feelings about the kick and snare.

Also realized I need more scratch sounds. My kit just has two right now. This one's okay for now but I want more.

1 turntable, serato, and Qberts "Do It Yourself Scratch" lessons, and a few weeks of practice and you can have all the scratches you want

I agree with @2GooD Productions the drums are different, I do like the mix though the drums just need work.

Okay then, it's settled, I'm replacing the kick and snare!

Hats okay?

@2GooD Productions Scratching over the waw didn't really work, but I threw in an extra twist for you at the first wawing.

That "little extra twist" was exactly what I meant. Thats how it should be.
You can be a little more forgiving with the hats, but hip hop kick and snare selection is pretty important. Also scrap that open hat, its just reminded me that open hat selection is pretty important too lol

Damn, you didn't like my open hat. I kinda liked that one.

Oh well, maybe for another project

New open hat, and I switched the double-tap from the second and fourth notes to the third and fourth (or made it single in a couple spots), so slightly different rhythm there, but I like it better.
