That is really good, some very strong Foo Fighter influences that I'm detecting. Would damn near be dead on a newer Foo song if you screamed the louder parts at the top of your lungs. Hints of George Martin in the orchestration also. Like it a lot.

thank you - i wish there was a way for the one heavy snares part to hit harder or not feel so boring

Which part? I can't think of any reason it's not possible.

the heavy snares part is appx - 1:36 - its just not interesting enough imo

and the marching part is right after that and it seems also kinda stale not enough rolls

and yeah there's a bit of mick ronson in here

Switch from Hi-hat to Crash or China cymbals in that section would be the first thing I did. I had noticed that section before when I listened but wasn't bothered by it. Make every 2nd Snare hit 2 separate hits? Some short repetition fills would break it up nicely also.

I'll listen to the marching section later at work and see if I can think of anything.

Do you have the Sophistica Pak with Marcher?

I like that synth trail effect @2:42 on the rake pick you did.
