Sounds great, Sjaak! Not optimally mixed yet but you can do that anytime if finding good speakers and room. I really like the up-front drums! But the level is flickering too much. The drum kit goes just a tiny bit too loud now and then - you should keep the level at the lower level, like 1 to 2 dB under the drum kit's recent peak level. Also, if you listen to trance that works, there is never a repetitious musical phrase like your drum part that isn't modulated in slow and long periods in some kind of minimal manner. Could be the balance between drums in the kit, just one EQ bell being gradually lowered, a slow phaser on the hihat.... etc, etc... Also, since you are mixing this in Logic so you should really take advance of this software's capabilitiy of letting instruments, sounds and musical parts interact dynamically in the groove. Very, very small amounts of side-chained compressors, noise gates, autofilters etc will bring this piece to life in an amazing way. You can experiment with a small frequency range from one instrument to dynamically juggle the level of a reverb return, a track level, a filter cutoff or whatever part of another track/instrument/effect. Ensemble sounds need to talk to each other to make music.
