One quick production tip I learned is to side-chain a gate after some white noise for the snares, and after a 40-50Hz tone generator for the kick with the trigger signal being the respective drum. That helps make the drums feel fuller without having to layer samples upon samples of drums. It does take a few tries to get the drums sounding fat and punchy for sure, so no worries about that!

The track is fun as it is anyway!

That was a bit advanced for me! I had to watch a youtube video to understand side-chaining. Thank you again very much. I will try to use this, although it seems that it will take some time for me to understand it.
