I like the drum beats. The rhythmic content is creative. The murky bass instrument at :06 sounds a little ominous, and doesn’t really add much to the texture. There’s very little harmonic content in this piece, and overall the composition just needs a lot more effort put into it. Melodic content, harmonic variety, phrasing, structuring, and the like are all absent here. It’s a fun beat, and not a bad start to a more complete track, but until you flesh out the composition more it’s not going to do much in a competitive contest like the NGADM. I’d encourage you to keep working on this, though! Keep at it, BlueBasic. :)
