New drum kit, new processing techniques. Still much room for improved sythesis. Thinking about just lifting samples, but there’re a million things to try first. This section would be the build-up to the first drop, and would have a 16 bar drum lead-in before it. Might have to get bigger tho, depends on the song.
The bass should be warmer, I guess. It just keeps coming out cold and evil >:)
[Update:] Here is the same arrangement, but I designed a new algorithm for generating snare timings which should be more believably human (ie, funkier):
The snares in the second track act to defuse some of the tension. The first track sounds way more like the start of a (good!) progressive dark techno song than dubstep.

consider the difference between “dark and evil” and “epic”…the second track suggests epic, but then delivers cold reason.
i know your just getting into it, but consider narrative — the great electronica songs take the listener on a (bodily?) narrative journey.
maybe try stringing some of the short pieces together?
