Thank you so much for your suggestions !
They are really really really constructive.
This really helps me a lot to start working on some of them.

All of your suggestion are effective. When it comes to drums, I know
the almost all sound crap, that's because a rythm for me could be a
starting point (something just like a tempo) for creativity. Now, I
indeed need to really make good drums of them.

Again thank you for so many comments!! It must have spent a lot of time!
