I like this, some really nice playing and guitar ideas!
With drumming, I think I can hear what you were going for and two tips to get there - vary the hit velocity (can be done afterwards if your pads aren’t sensitive) and remember drummers have four limbs they can use at once (although in practice actually 3, kick + 2), so layering hits will sound more natural.

So with all of the lockdown time I've finally set about learning how to record and produce (I've a hell of a long way to go mind...)
I had downloaded Logic Pro X years ago and I could never get my head into it, I'm not sure if it was lack of time spent or what but it eluded me, so a few weeks ago I downloaded Presonus Studio One 4 on a recommendation from Guitar Nerds FB group and I loved it so much I bought the paid for version almost immediately!
Since then I've probably had half a dozen goes at it, mostly trying to get to grips with the whole thing and try and get a few ideas down in the process and this is the first one I've expanded into a full length type thing.
Be gentle, I'm no drummer and there are a few unforgivably sloppy bits that I rushed through (most irritably a really painful fretless slide into a chord which is a disaster but I spent so long recording the guitars that I rushed through the bass in one take rather than spending any more time on it).
It's still really only demo standard but I'm quite chuffed after years of playing to be able to put something together with all of the parts!
Guitars were all recorded on my Duo-Sonic using amp sims in Presonus.
Bass was recorded on my fretless Jazz bass using amp sims in Presonus.
Drums were recorded using an Akai MPK Mini and Impact drum samples in Presonus.
