I know that feel, happened to me over Thanksgiving. Hopefully this is the worst of it and you will feel better in 24-48 hours at least I did. I had the flu.

Made this a while ago. Just wanted some opinions.

The glockenspiel sounds way better in the end where it's just kinda peppering / punctuating existing notes and not having to carry the existing riff by itself. I'd say get rid of the glockenspiel and just use strings in that beginning repeating 4-note riff. I also think the timpani in the end needs to be lowered about three octaves and then use some other kind of ethnic percussion (I don't know what you have available, but I'd say a taiko drum or something to that effect) in such a high key.

I think the composition could also greatly benefit from more upbeat percussion, which I've noticed isn't too common in your tracks. Something like Impart is kind of what I have in mind.

What are you using for your synths, by the way? Just default FL Studio presets?

That makes you, me, and Angelus.
 
KFC, Popeye's, Churches, or Bojangles? - Bo fucking Jangles? I don't fuck around with that. Popeye's spicy chicken and Churches biscuits and tea. KFC is garbage, unless the other two are far as fuck. Even then I prefer the pre-made chicken dinner at like a Vons over KFC.

officially the best poster in the BCT

Finale, actually. I have access to FL Studio, but I don't know how to use it well. Plus it crashes often.

Percussion has always been my weakest area, yeah. I've never been good at poking at it until something happens like I do with other things.

I really appreciate the constructive criticism.

@Gordon.

Thanks! The latter.

Amazon has been stepping up their shipping game by using every delivery method they can. I love those Sunday deliveries as well.

I really need to stop reading jokes that have been made about Yung Berg over the years.

I'm in tears laughing right now

Percussion was mine for the longest time too, but listening to all of the crazy drumming that goes on in metal actually helped me warm up to writing percussion a lot. Once you start getting the hang of it and realizing it's just an unconventional, albeit versatile instrument like any other, there's plenty of fun stuff you can do with it. Two of the drum tracks I've done are here (drum solo at 0:18) and here (no solo, but drums throughout), and those two in addition to this song I didn't do all do pretty fun things with drumlines and treat them more as unique tools to egg on progression rather than just giving the track an underlying beat.

I mean look at this:

Callin this nigga a failure is not givin him enough credit namsayin. Straight up. Technically this nigga has already mastered failure n moved on to the level that comes after failin tho. Son has evolved past bein a regular failin ass nigga. This nigga has developed his own science when it comes to that shit….its “quantum failure” nahmean. This nigga can fail without even bein awake yo. Son can fail in a dream n bring that shit back wit him to his conscious state namsayin. The nigga can inception fail his way thru life. The nigga can find the fail buried 4 levels deeper under the failure that you actually see. The nigga can fail about 78 times per heartbeat g. In fact by the time you finish readin this sentence the nigga will have failed approximately 468 times namsayin. This nigga is usin methods of failure that niggas aint even seen since the ancient Mayans n Egyptians was on earth still yo. This nigga is usin approaches to failin that brought upon the destructions of entire ancient civilizations son. Think its a game yo? This nigga takes his failure very fuckin seriously son. He dont want no failures happenin unless he involved. No chains snatched…no faces smacked…no nothin. A nigga falls off his bike in the park….he wants IN.
