Hey Loki! Thanks a ton and a half for your feedback. May I follow up? Drums: Please chose the approach from below to make the drums more interesting that seems more likely to be effective to you: 1) Invest a lot in improving the drum timbre, and play with the pattern a little. 2) Invest little or no time improving the timbre, and focus on getting a more interesting pattern, more variations, and a better performance. Bass: Do you have an example or a different description of what you mean with: "round wound strings"? Thanks again! Pure value.
