Liking the vibes on this, good bass :)

Felt the drum programming could benefit from a switch up later on in the tune to add some variety, but overall good stuff :)

This tune has potential to be really really big I think. But a couple of things from my limited experience I think would help.

1. The crash... IMO this is happening wayy to frequently. AND.. I would seriously consider finding a different sound for it. It really doesn't sound very natural. Maybe look for one with a longer decay and more substance.

2. The kick.... again - IMO. I would go for a deeper kick with more of a THUMP/THUD sound. Compress the f**k out of it and EQ to fit with the bass nicely.

3. Variation.... The whole thing sounds very repetitive. I find often with sub/bass.. it has quite a nice effect to just let it hold out one note for a while - one way to vary it up. Also try making subtle chances to your bass patch... not huge changes, just subtle one to keep things moving. Maybe modulate certain parameters slowly. Similarly with the drums. Maybe get some ghost hits hitting randomly. Miss out a hit here and there, add hits here and there etc etc.

Hope this helps.

Great vibe overall, really big potential on this one. Maybe just a few more hours in it would make a world of difference! :)
