Hi Tom. The drums sound a bit over the top - like Keith Moon on overdrive. The bass and drums need to lock in more. The drum fill at 0.52 is too silly! I like the breakdown at 1.30 - very psychedelic - a little bit U2. The groove from 2.10 is more solid. It feels like a bit of a jam from 2.30 - very 60s. Are you playing the drum fills in from the keyboard? The fills just let it down I think. Have you tried any of the midi-drum-loop libraries? Cheers, Doug

Hi Tom....overall another interesting piece....I think the rhythm guitar was a little too much out front in the mix though and the drums seemed buried at times...I also would've liked to hear a melody track or lead guitar to play along side the rhythm guitar sometimes during the piece....really clean guitar and nice tonality...

Hey Tom,

It's sounding better for sure, from that last time I listened. I still think you need to work on the drum playing and tone it down a bit... pretend it is more of a good drummer instead of some crazy wild pro drummer. I also think you need to EQ things a tiny bit better to the instruments are more separated in the mix. Which is more conducive to this style. At times it's a bit of a mess with how crammed you have everything in the audio spectrum.. fighting for space.

Otherwise dude, it is sounding great. You are definitely improving.. without ANY doubt!!
