I thought this was a thread about improvisation, but whatever... :).

Nice groove! I'd suggest smaller crash cymbals sound-wise. Those big ones seem to be a bit out of place stilistically. But I guess that's what you have ;). Also, I wouldn't necessarily place a crash stroke after almost every bar.

+1 from me Good effort though, & crisp timekeeping.

Thanks for your suggestion, my crash cymbals aren't actually that big. 16" Sabian Xs20 Medium Thin Crash & 18" Zildjian ZHT Fast Crash. My stand for the 18 is kinda cheap and i need to update it ha ha ha. And i agree with you about placing a crash stroke after each bar. I'll work on that in the future.

Or maybe I should say, my taste would rather call for "faster" crash sounds, higher pitched and...well...faster :).
