beat

[frozen skiff]

Lmao those were NOT the drums I expected when it was just the sample playing in the intro

I expected a drum break or some really swingy low key programmed drums.

I think overall it's fine, not my taste. The drums as a whole are probably a touch to loud.

i love the drums on both

What I like:

The sample is really nice. I love a warm piano tone and the melody is very nostalgic and reminiscent. Pretty lofi, which is the direction I thought the drums would go.

What could be improved:

This is very minimalistic. Pretty much just drums and the loop at the moment, which could work if you want something quick and dirty but there's little life in it. Consider additional samples, or using strings, synths, pads, whatever helps you give this more presence.

The drums are your standard trap drums, but they're a little too standard I think and really take you out of the beat as is. The clap especially could be changed I feel, with something a little more muted or filtered to keep that lofi quality. The kick also punches aggressively through the mix, so consider turning it down about a dB. The kick punching through so hard becomes distracting and takes away from the peacefulness of the piano.

Hope this helps!
