Okay, I see the early stages of an idea here! This reminds me of the beats I used to make back when I first started using Audiotool.
Idk what your preferences are, I know people use other DAWs, and that's cool, but if you're mostly using loops here, let's get them sounding better. The kick is a bit overdriven, and that may be preference, but it's also a bit loud.

panning is when you place things in a stereo field (either on the left or the right instead of the default center position). This spreads your mix out a bit and gives the elements of your mix more presence and helps them blend with each other more. (you could also google it for a more detailed explanation)

Hey, thanks for the feedback! Yes, the loud kicks are a preference, I have no clue what panning is so a dumbed down explanation would help a bit. And i certainly can mess with the melody a bit. Thanks, I appreciate it :)

Maybe try adding more drum elements, and try changing the melody a bit to sound less repetitive. You generally can only repeat something about 2-3 times before the listener's ear subconsciously begins to grow bored.
Hope this helps! let me know if you need any tips or videos to watch

First thing I'd say trying is panning your drums. Separate all the drum elements (hi hat, kick, snare, etc) and pan them slightly left or right depending on where they'd be on the drum kit if you were the drummer (you can look at images online if you don't play drums or don't know the traditional placement or the pieces of a kit).
