70s Japanese Movie Soundtrack Sample Beat (Mellow-ish)

Not bad, I like the little vocal bits you can hear coming in and out from 0:41 onwards. Also, there is one part at 0:52 where the shakers come in, and they kinda indicate what the rest of the beat should feel like.

IN MY OPINION! I think you need to change up your drum sounds and the drum pattern if you're looking for something more old-school and bouncy. You know, more shakers, put a bongo and congo in there, force the listener to nod. See, the current drum pattern you have is very quantized and very perfect - And this is the problem. Mellow, J-Dilla styled Old School Hip Hop always has a little bit of nice syncopation/offset in the hi hats. As for the sounds, I'd say you need a kick which sounds less hollow

I've put together a quick pattern to show you what I mean. http://www.4shared.com/mp3/ZgWXOCL3/Example_Drum_Loop.html?
