Bill,

It’s an engaging instrumental . . . nicely done! The drums sit well in the mix, but, yeah, I’m slightly leaning toward your brother’s view: that perhaps you can dial back a bit on some of the drum roles? Then again, I may be of that view because I’m particularly focusing on the drums, and I’m wondering if I would have noticed them otherwise. Maybe not—which is to say, it works as is, but it may be worthwhile experimenting and comparing. Enjoyed it regardless!

All the best,

Deej
