Hi Brian:

I'm wondering what these icons are for? If they are indeed intended to be 
functional (i.e., they will represent applications/programs, actions, places, 
resources, etc.) rather than decorative (i.e., they will be on the splash 
screen, desktop background, and marketing materials), I have a few 
suggestions.

1.) The drum set icon sticks out because it's much more detailed than the 
others. Generally, funcitonal icons should be as simple as posible.

2.) I don't know what source files you're using to generate the PNG images you 
sent, but ideally icons should be scalable SVG files.

3.) If you prefer PNG files, you could make different sizes of images, like most 
of the icons in the Oxygen set. If you do, when you make smaller icons, you'll 
probably want to change the metallic background to a gradient, and as you go 
even smaller, into a flat colour.

I'm also not a graphic designer. My comments are things I remember from 
reading blog posts and developing icons for my own programs. In my case at 
least, it seemed that the more accurately I could depict something, the *less* 
obvious it was for other people!
