Hey Loki!
Thanks a ton and a half for your feedback.
May I follow up?
Drums: Please chose the approach from below to make the drums more
interesting that seems more likely to be effective to you:
1) Invest a lot in improving the drum timbre, and play with the pattern
a little.
2) Invest little or no time improving the timbre, and focus on getting a
more interesting pattern, more variations, and a better performance.
Bass: Do you have an example or a different description of what you mean
with: "round wound strings"?
Thanks again! Pure value.
Carlo
PS: Comments from others to above questions very welcome too

Suggested comments: Does it groove? Are there any errors or
imperfections that irritate you? Do you like it? Does the mix sound
different from what you are used to on your audio system? Does positive
emotion come across?
Thank you so much in advance for your help!

Hey Carlo,
It does groove. The drums don't do it for me though. Louder and more
interesting would be great. Just grab cheap things to wack and some
drum sticks. Some of the jazz or funk hydrogen patterns from brian's
bedroom http://briansbedroom.org/ would probably work well too. I
human drummer, even on crappy drums grooves a whole lot more though.
I'm not a big fan of that bass tone. In that track i'd think of a
round wound strings and similar fast notes if you want to keep the
funk vibe or flats played with your thumb if you want a more soul
vibe.
