It's a metallish/dubsteppish/electronic song. The video is of me recording drums to it.

Any thoughts are appreciated!

This is what I think

Your snare fills are on the synth/guitar and that makes it sound tedious.

Whats with the lazy right hand....4/4 on a song like this.

The drumming is very predicable.....you need to step up the variety and groove with the bass.

I do like the song.

I liked it...
I do agree with RG especially on the right hand... I would suggest to find a place were you compliment the song a bit more. Can't believe I'm saying this (I never tell a drummer to let loose) but I think you can or should at some point to give it a kick... But still pretty cool groove over-all to me!

There's definitely validity in this opinion. I have no defense. I just kind of felt like that's where I wanted the snare hits to land. I wanted a slower groove until the end (where it picks up for a bit).

I dig it. It's not my style at all but listening to it made me wish i had a pointy headstock gtr w a Kahler whammy bar and that i could play a shred gtr solo over the changes!

The playing was very tight and precise and I had no problem w your choices other than that triplet bit that happened a little too often in the first min or so for me. Glad you finally got off that when you did!

If there was anything that bugged me, it's the cheesey keyboard patches! You gotta get some better sounds than that '90's synth patch!

I like the snare hits where they are. Like Mark said, the synth sound could use some updating. Overall, I find your music entertaining, but the drums are where the feeling lies. The other instrumentation is a little too cold and clinical. I don't feel any connection to the video game tones and it doesn't align with my love of various techno or industrial music, which tend to have much more rich keyboard tones.

A+ on the video sound and editing.
