new cinematic drum attempt

Featured Replies

This is my 16 attempt at drum tracks. Slightly better I think than the previous i made but still room for improvement.
Any feedback?
Thanks.

From a mixing standpoint, I am confused for the balance in both ears. If it was used in production, then the sound engineer would just balance or displace to the left or right channels when needed.
Thus, I think it better to leave the audio equal in both channels.

Music:
It gives the sense of taiko drums or African drum circles and this is what I wish to speak on. From what I know, it doesn't make sense to repeat the same pattern for too long or have a secondary drum just forcing it's way into the mix by playing off beats. It can work, however, if you ever participate in one, you'll know that one person keeps the beat steady while others play off, conversate, and compliment each other. Whether or not this was your intention, be clear in what you think the music may be paired to. Besides being a generic drum track, think about how others may use it:

1. Jungle fly-over for Documentary
2. Aztec documentary
3. Chase scene
4. Showcase for new product.
5. etc.

You can take inspiration from certain cultures or musical examples and create drum tracks for more implied purposes. Lastly, if you want this to be used in a percussion loop within a DAW, make it better for those who want to use it and allow the ending and beginning to overlap or restart on eachother.
