Some honest feedback pleaae

This is a song I wrote over a decade ago, made a low quality recording and then basically forgot it until 2018 when I put it on YouTube then forgot it again.

I'm working on a full length album and have been looking at some old stuff to rework.

Any suggestions. with this one?

...in the process of re-recording the song, if possible.

I get a T-Rex vibe from this, with some uptempo accents.

I hear a simple double-time drums groove with conga-like percussion.

I do remote drum/percussion recording, just in case.

I'm going to start re recording this week. Definitely need some percussion. I'm going to put a bass line on it too Once I get a decent version down with a click track I'll let you know the BPM and send you a copy. If you are offering some rhythm I humbly accept. I'm pretty poor so I can't pay much.

Again. Thank you for your kind words.

...it'd be my pleasure and a privilege to contribute to your project.

I'm in the middle of relocating my drums and I'm getting a new computer/daw from a friend, next week, I think.

Hopefully by the time you've re-recorded, I'll be ready to go.

I'd be using my Roland TD20-X electronic drum kit. It has a very natural/acoustic drum sound, so it won't sound like "fake drums."

Here'a an example on YouTube:
