Welcome back! =D

I'd say at 1:26, you could probably try shifting the reverse cymbal back a half measure and add a semi-loud slightly ambient high end hit, like a clap or a woodblock or similar.

Yeah, the snare should be snappier, but it doesn't have to be overly strong. Maybe a soft snare layered with a short clap or something like that. The kick could be less pitch-envelope-like, but that's just personal preference.

2:36 seems to have an atmosphere that wants there to be a kick starting off soft and crescendoing until 2:48, or at least have a mini-buildup.
