Not bad, great to hear some new work from you. I like the use of the conga samples and the layering. I think your drums could use a bit of work though.

thanks, i appreciate the constructive feedback, I'll keep at my drums. any tips? basically they're straight samples off an 'apocolypse now' lp

I think the drums just need to be thicker/fuller like with more stronger hits - If that makes sense - It would blend with the rest of the song perfectly then - Its almost like the other sounds out way the drums. Then again we are hearing it through your camera.....

Hate to say it buy my drums are horrible, i just notice yours don't sound as good as say madlib or dilla's :)

I would try incorporating more sounds though, right now it sounds like you're using two or three.

I do like the trumpets a lot though, harps sound great too :)
