i would say put more of a staight hihat in there....keep the other hats in there, but i think it needs a consistant 1/8 hihat.......depending on its real tempo, you might even be able to fit in a 1/16th hihat...thats if the tempo is real slow.
but try it, it might pull everything together more. I think its good foundations, you just need to put the icing on....a little swing to the drums or something.
as for the hook and verse thing, i see what^^^^they where saying, so what i would do is, sample the instruments, then sort of "remix" them for the hook, or break down. You dont neccesarily have to make a hook, but like a frequent break down every 8 bars or something.......so basically chop up the current melody with the sampler, and rearrange it, or reppeat something several times.
like da-da-dunt, da-da-dunt, the change it up with dadunt-dadunt. ya know?
