Hi, I know I'm not a fan of Trap nor an expert in it but I'll give an opinion. It's a competent sample flip but unfortunately OCR usually expects a bit more personalization. Currently I can still hear the source's samples in it but I feel changing the samples/instruments to something else (even a different soundfont) would help both distinguish the arrangement from the source and highlight the personal embellishments (such as the Trap beat itself). Sorry if I sound harsh, I just think it's too conservative at the moment (both in arrangement and instrumentation). -
The track is a lot of fun to listen to. I really like the trumpets and synths used within the track. The percussion overall sounds nice too. At 1:26 I found the tambourine a bit forward and overpowering to my ears; possibly a bit static or repetitive too. Overall I'm really liking the track and its direction. -

I'll need to check out Reworks That Matter, 'cuz I want to experience the orchestral elements you cut out. I love the electronic and orchestral elements you've blended with this arrangement. Those timpani rolls are *chef's kiss.* -
This is such a spicy track, and is super upbeat. The tempo change in the later half of the track is very enjoyable, and all of the different synth selections are dialed in well, evolves nicely, and is just super fun overall. The sources are great choices, but I'm not familiar with the source, either. There's really only two things I could maybe note: -The snare in the first half does feel a hair dry, and wonder if sending it to a reverb bus could maybe help with this? -The sub bass on your kick is coming in really thick/present (at least on my Yamaha HS-8's, with the subs on a -4db shelf @ ~500hz), and could maybe stand to help balance out the overall mix a little more if the sub region of the kick was dialed back a super little bit. This track definitely stands on it's own two legs, so admittedly, these are more nitpicks over anything else. Absolutely fabulous stuff here~ -

The original was cheery, now this is bright and flamboyant! Brass samples are everyone's bane but they sound great here (tell me what you use plzkthx). Great groove in the strings around 0:40-1:13, and overall the track evolves very nicely. The breakdown works very well along with the shift to the synth sound, though I feel like I want something mid-wise there as bass and lead are quite far apart. But once the second synth comes in it's all good. Symphotronica ahoy. Speaking of which, I want to hear those trumpets again to bring closure to the mix as I feel that something upbeat like this needs a marriage between the symphonic and the electronic temporally. This will be something I hope to throw into my driving playlist once done.
