Like it mate but dont like that start.

cheers mate, im a bit undecided on it aswell, i dont think it has that 'bang' when the drums kick in?

Needs work dude, but for your first attempt its good!
Drum and Bass needs well sauced sounds and samples to get the desired effect, took me almost a year to be able to make a DnB beat let alone a tune.

This is my latest effort!

cheers mate, myne still needs mastering etc. and the youtube limitations dont help either haha, its only a mess around with the dnb on my half though. your's sounds a million times better than mine mate, i was trying to go down the more underground route (for mc's and the like) with mine as thats the only dnb i listen to tbh, oh and iv subbed!!!!! how long you been doin it for by the way?

Been making tunes for about 3 years now! Its a hard genre to master, im still getting there! Been in DnB since i was 14, im 26 now, so that helps. Also when you look to make DnB look outside of the Drum and Bass genre for inspiration!

i found DnB easier to get into than dubstep tbh, but i bet its harder to properly master. i was thinking of making a 'drumstep' one next, then i can input my knowhow from dubstep producing into dnb

Not a bad attempt mate, Sounds kool, As said keep on it.
Yeah, Your samples, EQ'Ing needs to be crisp in DNB... Compress your drum kicks and take off the muddyness right at the low end of the frequency. It will make your kicks PUNCH !
