Try taking your hi hat off 16th notes... and try an eighth note pattern.
do you know what that is?

Yea I think I kno what u talking about....I can change that when I hit note repeat.
16ths are 4 in a beat
and 8ths are 2 in a beat.
you have it at 4. dumb it down to 2 hi hat hits a beat and see what it sounds like.

kick is actually good, not everything has to be boomy and punchy. layer the snare with a more "stabby" snare. the hi hat is off (sound wise). try to alternate 2 diff hi hats (open & close) when doing change ups

I think the intros too long, unless that's what you were going for I generally stick with an intro no longer than 8 bars

like everybody else said the drums don't really fit most especially the hi-hats

and i wasn't feeling the overall drum pattern, for practice you should listen to drum patterns of artists you like try to re-create them and then when you sample use what you re-create with slight variations until you get a feel of how you would like your drums

Good looks....I shorten the intro and kept the same drums and eq it. I flipped the drum pattern a lil bit....Smh I'm still tweaking it tho......everybody who I played it for love this shyt

Thanks for the advice everybody
