    the first drop sounds like your kick and snare are in the wrong order..

    who says that the snare has to be on every second measure of a bar and not the first and third?... simple little things done to a track can make them stand out.

    Did you master the track correctly? Doing so can make some elements of the track a lot better.

    Wrong traditional order yes but I like it this way, its diffrent and interesting.

    I think you need a stronger fast kick layered on the one you have now. at least bring this kick out a bit, it gets los amound everything else in the song.

    try some lighter sidechaing on the main melodies to bring out the kick, especialy at 3:17.

    I dont have any logic specific tips (as I dont use logic) but learn to layer and eq drums, I a song I'm working on I have already speant 2 hours on the kick alone and it sounds amazing.

    If this is your first ever song, then I think it's a great start!

    I agree with the others that the kick needs to be more "pumpy". Layering is a great idea!

    Also, look into mastering tracks!
    Mastering is what separates amateur producers from pro's in my opinion!!
