Also, the drums are kind of bad. The kick needs to be fuller, and it sounds like there's no snare.
I realize it's empty, but I have to disagree on the drums. Any lower frequencies on the kick would muddy the entire track (trust me, I've tried), and there IS no snare, it's a clap. Like I said, I'm trying to make it chill. Adding a loud snare wouldn't help with that.
The lower frequencies on the kick are fine. It needs more higher frequencies, though. How many different kicks did you layer? I usually go with 4-5 (or in my latest track, I did eight or something).
If you want a relaxed clap, you should go with a different sample (like that chill snap that deadmau5 and Avicii both use). I have a bunch of better clap samples than that that I could hook you up with. Let me know if you want any, and I'll PM you.
I only have one kick sample in this one, but usually I layer two of them. I suppose I can look through and see if any of my samples have a nice high-end that will add to the kick.
As for clap samples, I scrolled through about half of the claps I have and didn't like any besides the one I'm using. I will say however that I'm starting to dislike the clap sample I have. So sure, if you could lend me some clap samples, that would be sweet
