Allthough I would shorten the track a bit. > Another thing, bluntly put: The drums suck so very hard that they manage > to make me cry after all. Know what I think?

But here the drums have an entirely different feel from the piano. A bit slow for that, but kick an claps still say "party" to me. That doesn't make the fact they're sequenced the problem, since drums can be programmed to match any kind of feel. David: my advice would be to listen to some ballads, maybe older stuff from Mariah Carey and to analyze the drums regarding sound and rhythmic characteristics. --- Thorsten Wilms
