This track is from like almost two years ago.
I meant in general, you have to feel confident about your music base or you'll never be close to the ground, it feels great when i'm building a track even if it's just for fun (which is always) and i feel like i can do anything because i "trust" my drums, you know.. https://soundcloud.com/neervos

hey man, ya it sounds to me like the kick needs more low end, but hard to tell. 1.25-1.53 i think is really cool, yeah actually you have really good sounds overall and throughout.
Yeah the low end is so crucial in this music, you must be able to trust your low to some extent. I recommend you find your own way of systematically addressing the low end. for me at the moment i like to open my project, play the intro, then as soon as the kick bass comes in, i loop the first 8 or 16 bars of KB, a this point, my ears are fresh and there aren't too many intruments playin cuz its the beginning of the tune. I tweak knobs for 5 or 10 minutes just on the KB, then turn off the loop and move to other things.
After another 30 or something I take a break and stand up walk around, get a drink, etc, then sit back down and do the same (5 or 10 minutes of just KB) but in the middle of the track where there are lots of instruments. After 10 minutes or so, small changes all sound the same to me more or less, even with A/B tests and such. Either it sounds the same or i cant tell which is better. So I just do this during every session, and after like a week is it getting more trustworthy.
this is just a suggestion, you can try it, but most important is to find what works for YOU.

dood, work on ur bass end of ur bassline,, it sounds a little weird specially right in the start at 0:30 on, otherwise u got some decnt flow goin on, some points which caught my ear,,, first perc, snare that u using at 1:00 , add a few more here there, to make it more interesting ... the break after that, work it more,, and work the percussions after that part also,cause u using the same percussion loops all the way,,make some changes to keep it interesting, 3:10,, add some automation to get the arp thing moving, and some varitaions there also,,and introduce your percussions with say 1 kick roll,, or even some percussion rolls(like at 4:10) for smooth entry...nice sounds after that...but also use automation , panning, and some other effects to get the sounds moving there,cause it gets boring, also u can use bass note changes a little more frequently in he ending part,, try changing after 16th bar, or so, 1-2 octave up down,,, hope somethings helps,keeeep working
