If anyone likes it, I'll put up more.

Nice playing but (for me) your high tom(?) sounds nasty. Yeah I would definetly put up more and keep them, to keep track of how you're progressing. Comparing how you played then to how you play now. And you can also base what you need to practise from the comments people give you.
Also you sould probably put a date on to each of your recordings so you can tell which one is which.

Thanks for the response. I do have the date on my recording, as you said that is a great way to track progress. I tuned my high tom and it sounds a lot better now. All of my toms are a bit low for my taste, but I'll try it out for a while.

Didn't sound bad at all, time and practice will fix all the little inconsistencies. I noticed a tendency to sound nervous on your fills, as if you kinda didn't know what you wanted to play and just made it up as you went along, but you do seem to have enough feel for the beat to feel your way through them (although that's something you'll learn not to do). As you progress, you should aim to learn enough about rhythmic phrasing, rudiments, dynamics, voicing things around the kit, etc. to not have to just feel your way through fills. Even when you improvise a drum solo, you should learn to develop a system you can go by and that you can be creative with enough to try new phrases but not lose where you are in the beat and make it sound coherent and consistent.
