The Ride

I'm a guitarist trying to get better at piano so I wrote and recorded this as an experiment. I played everything but the drums which I had my friend come and do a few takes. The hi-hats are a little too hot in the "open" position but since it's a yamaha digital kit, it needs to set it up better before the recording (DTXpress IV specials) All in all, I like the sound of the kit myself but I'm a loud guitarist...what do I know? I'm probably half deaf now

...so tell me what you think.

Not bad but you can really tell the drums are fake. Are you going to add real drums? It would sound so much better.

I don't think the problem is fake drums, the problem is making a good pattern and mix, with that is hard to tell if they are real or fake, it's just a matter of time. Clearly, your friend didn't have much time to make a good pattern, a little work and it will fit properly. The drums are too compressed, there is no dynamics, and the cymbals are too loud or they are too many during the song, so they are distracting. I liked the piano.
