What I would really like is for you guys to listen to my tracks and help me out as much as you can with drums. Whatever you think will make them better. Whether it's eq'ing, patterns, choice in drum sounds, effects, etc.

I'm not looking for a critique in how wack they are! I'm looking for a critique in how to MAKE them BETTER than what they are!

I need some new perspectives on drums, I'm really stuck in a rut!

The only equipment I have is a MPC 1000 and cool edit pro.

Your help will be very much appreciated!

i listened to the beats and i dont think there is anything wrong with the sounds or the effects or eq i just think the patterns need some help, the battle against.?.i forget the name that one was good though. as far as to make them better i would do more than just a one or two bar drum loop, try to add some changes on them because everything is just running all the way thru once it drops. also add variations to the samples they sound too plain, they dont sound like complete beats yet, add a bassline. this are just my opinions im sure other people here will help you out more.
