^bout the only producers I see around, that i kinda "know" so I was hoping y'all could help too.

Thanks



You are using good drum sounds but they sound robotic , they lack a natural rhythm. Try to imitate your patterns by knocking on a table, or just play them drums by themselves and see if you can find a rhythm.

first of all, it kinda depends on what type of beat youre trying to make here

the drums do sound abit dry, the first kick you used is lacking punch , play around with the EQ, the clap does sound stocky try change it and see what happens , its not that robotic, again i dunno what type/style you was going for here , kinda reminds me of mf doom circa 2005 , the ending of the 2nd sequence is abit off but you can change that

dont worry theirs room for improvement
 

u mad son?

Yeah I could see these samples defo working once you iron out the drums a little

The clap sounds stocky as dude mentioned before and theres a lack of a head knocking rythm to it. Maybe just listen to a few of your favourite tracks and really zone out to what they do with the kicks and snare patters ... this is how I picked up how to really come up with nice drums

The sample arrangements and minimalist sounds work though, I would personally lower the tempo and get a good knock going with the drums, then maybe add some airy pads or nice jazz keys in the background.
