Not sure which listing you're going for but those drums stand out. I could be wrong, but remember with sync we have to accompany dialogue and action. Your drums jump at me. This is based on feedback I've received in the past! I'd seriously consider taking them out and accenting the rhythm with something else, maybe a spiccato bass played high in the same tonal range.

Hey Ron! I'm in agreement with Douglas about the drums. I'm not sure I'd go as far as to say take them out, but I would encourage pulling them down in the mix. Particularly the hi-hat/shaker sound...which could also stand to be softened up with some EQ. It's a little harsh to me. On the other hand, I think the woodwinds could come up a little in the mix. There are some cool moments where they pop in and out, and it'd be nice to hear them more clearly. Lastly, I would try to set up the ending a little bit better and make it more dramatic. When the ending came, I wasn't sure if it was over. Make that a defining moment!
Musically, I think it's a great dramedy cue! Hope my feedback is helpful!

THANK YOU THIS IS EXCELLENT FEEDBACK I had the flute an octave up but I brought it down maybe it should go back up with some eq, also the hi hat is a little annoying Will make the changes.
