Hi!
I will be real with you here - the drums are a hot mess/out of sync which naturally is making other elements sound/feel out of sync.
If these are live recorded drums then a click track and some more practice will be the ticket to getting this lined up better. Cheers

Drums are way off. At first I thought it was on purpose, and I think that maybe if you left the drums off-beat at the start it and then got them on beat for the rest of the song it could be a nice touch.
Overall this sounds more like a jam session than a song per se. There are some nice elements in here, but it doesn't seem like a song with a clear theme or discrete sections arranged in a cohesive way.

The whole track. The drums are all over the place
Theres no direction its like you sat someone down who's never played a drumset and told them to play along with whatever they want
broken phoenix
ill have to listen in a sec
broken phoenix
sorry im not hearing it

You can’t hear the drums?
broken phoenix

They are often out of time and most definitely do not fit the song.
To give a timestamp, 2:00 (and many others)
3:31
3:42
actually 3:42 until 4:00
6:40 they start on time then go out very badly
7:00 - 7:15
Really the whole song is out of time but there are a few seconds every minute where it seems like it could work
J.K. Simmons would not be proud

The arrow in the screenshot is point to the metronome - if you're not hearing your drums out of sync/tempo then you need to spend a lot of time understanding tempo/timing.
If you have your BPM set and turn that metronome on and listen to your drums they should sync nicely with the click track - I bet if you listen to that you will hear whats wrong very quickly

the tempo button is not of use anymore because im not using the grid properly

you are free to jam in free time music but music is almost always to a set tempo or range of tempo. It's to the heart beat. BPM.
you have to record and practice to a metronome or your music won't impact the listener

Turn the metronome on
broken phoenix
the metronome is out of sync
but like i dont use the grid
so that makes no sense
tender mountain
the metronome is out of sync
The metronome is perfect, your music is out of time
tender mountain
That's the point the others were trying to help you with 🙂
By all means be freaky but for the love of all that is music please write it in time
Nobody will like it
Im sorry but those are mostly hard and fast rules
tender mountain
Yeah I think so
If you can't hear it I quite literally am unsure where to suggest help
Im scratching my noggin
Well
Just look at the drum midi and compare it to the grid
try clapping to the beat of your favourite song
you'll notice how the drums are in time vs yours
pearl ravine
Quantize ur drums to the grid for a start
broken phoenix
i dont hear anything wrong with the drums, please respect that, thanks
tender mountain
No worries
Out of curiosity do you record midi drums on a real electronic kit or program them on midi kits?

The drums are totally out of time with the rest of the track.
