what i would have done for the intro is add a kick on top of that snare tail clap thing
also im not really getting the random rasselbok stops/scratches
also, the sounds are very similar, i think you should really work on your sound design. Unless you're eptic, arranging cant really compensate for sound design.
also, mixing. that bit at
2:49
is really quiet... not sure where you were going with that. arranging is on point tho, good job dude!
