This rocked!

my 2 cents

@ 1:30 and 2:25 turn down the orchestral part by 2db or so. Was listening to this pretty loud in my car, those sections came on a bit strong.

That's what I'm talking about!! Your Rockin' it, Kit!!
Great writing.. I suspect that's exactly what they're looking for!

I would just beef up the drums. These Epic Rock listings call for big drums.. maybe even cinematic drums.
All the examples have big drums and very little drum compression from what I can tell.

Nice job!

Thank you! Writing "cinematic" orchestral drums is definitely something I need to work on.
