Found this crazy Asian sample and I made a rap beat out of it.

What are your overall impressions? How is the mix? What do you think can be improved? Please be specific. Drop a link and I'll feed back, peace.

 
I think you could add some heavy bass here. Bells are unnecessary imo they don't fit well with the rest. I like the melody in here, it sounds very nice:) You can check my latest beat here New heavy trap beat f4f

The chorus and bells don't go well together, maybe use the bells more sparingly. The drums are nice and crunchy, but I feel like they don't go well with the rest of the beat and sit on top of the mix too much, as well as feeling a bit too programmed for the organic feel. Thanks for the feed, and keep it up!
 
I think drums are good for this sample, and it is a nice sample from witch you could really create a dark tune.
Bells and voices are very wrong though, this is why I would advise you to start from a blank canvas, keep, the sample and the feel of these drums, and built something more bassy and less dreamy (voices and bells).
Good luck.

 
Hey, I like the vibe of this. That thunder drum is really cool when it comes and the chorus part is a nice touch as well. Now for the critique part lol the mix could use some work in my opinion. It kind of sound like it was put through a high pass filter. Like there doesn't seem to be much low end. Also the strings, I think are cool with a high pass filter sound but I think it's a bit too much. The drum pattern is nice but the drums in general I think could use a bit more punch. Those are pretty much the only issues I had with it. But I honestly do like where you were going with this. It could potentially have a very epic sound, if the mix was a little better. Keep it up :-) and thanks for the feedback on my track, I really appreciate it.
 
I say tone down the bell a shit ton. There's a segment where the bells start going ballistic, and it kind of drowns out the snare. Maybe bump the snare up very slightly just to give it more depth. I definitely like the tone of everything though.
 
As already said, the bell should be tuned down. I like the snare sample a lot, I would just turn the volume up a notch. I think your violins need some eqing towards the higher frequency range. The silent part at 2:47 sounds a bit weird to me. I would let something, like the hihat continue or start that quiet section off with a kick to indicate that something new is happening. Hope i make sense ;)
 
First of all, your question. Inverted mountain is just a mountain but inverted lol. We just liked the name. And its original!

Thanks for the fact you told our beat made you think of dansonn. Thats a great compliment.
Your beat sounds awesome. I think the mix could be more crispy. some more highs would be nice. And the tubular bell sounds out of tune. But i really like it. Awesome work!!
