Hey, :t:

I hope you guys like this, it is a little trappy persay.

My other songs are house and carry this style and I decided to break it down to see what happened.

This is the result I came by, let me know what you think and any suggestions/comments you have.

Snare feels very weak. I do however like the whole vibey piano thing you've got going on.

Good shuffle to the hats as well.
Melodic deepness from my mind.

Thank you very much for your feedback. I will take your consideration in for the snare level. It is a little weak maybe I will layer it with something to give it a little more punch.

It's very busy and I couldn't find a real groove. It didn't really progress into anything either. Negativity aside, your housey stuff sounds very good.

I don't really know how you would define a "real" groove. Honestly, this bleeds groove. Hemiolas are my thing especially riding them out into 3 over 2 polyrhythms (vice versa). The progression is quite simple but as far as dynamics and layering the tune does progress into a deeply syncopated groove. Aside from disagreeing with you, thank you for your input.

agreed. the beat is really interesting, but yeah, I feel like it could use more sub to weight it more on the low end.

Hey man nice track, it has a nice sound. Taking into consideration what has already been said, i like it all apart from the synth layer that sometimes comes in over the keys. I don't think you need it. And maybe don't have the reverse sound leading into the snare on very hit. Taking it away and introducing it again will make it more interesting to the ear. Safe.

As have been said before - piano is awesome, snare needs more work. That whoop whoop thing is completely out of place though. Break with soft bassy toms sounds really nice too.

I think that adding a melody on top of the piano would certainly add to the tune, and if you play it bouncy enough it well add to the rhythm as well. Try to add jazzy/bluesy leaks.
