I have to say tho, it's really nice. You've got the right idea and obviously have a musical ear. So don't worry, just keep at it, the harder you work the better you'll get and quicker too.
Few things I'd do to improve it:
Vary your snare drum pattern a little more, throw in a couple of extra notes and push the odd note VERY slightly out of time to add feeling. Push it backwards if you want to slow the track down in feel for a second, or forwards to make it sound snappy for a second. Depending on which sounds better at the point in the beat you're working on.
Expand either the piano or the vocal with a different melody. Could just be something simple around the end or middle of the verse or wherever fits.
Try chopping the elements up a little more, cutting elements out of the beat every now and then, it can make a big difference to break up the track just cutting the odd little bit and piece out.
Keep up the good work anyway mate.

on Parsons Productions - Trigger Happy Dub by SuspektNumber1
It's interesting, the bassline is well done, the drums need more movement. I have to say tho mate, it's a bold move and I've not seen anyone else go in this direction.
So fair play and good luck sir.
Cheers again

You need to quantize the drums in this. If you don't know how to do that or what that is I mean you need to straighten them up. Get them running in time. But then it's always good to push a few of your drum notes a touch out of time to give your drums a bit of feeling. But you only want to do that to percussion in general, the odd snare maybe but keep your kicks constant. Also the synth line and notes aren't grimey enough yet, I'd go back and chance the notes and not have it coming in all the time.
You need to think about structure more, make a 8 bar into a 8 bar chorus and then a 16 bar verse for example.
Also think about what's doing what in the song, as in.... You need to really think about what notes are doing what to make the movement in the song. What won't do is just throwing more ideas and notes over the top to compensate for a half arsed beat. Go back and listen to your fav grime choons and think about what makes them move the way they do.
Most of all mate you need more time. I can tell you've just started off producing, it's just a question of time, patience, thinking and practicing.
Good luck mate, and keep going.
