The trouble with drums

Although I had spent a lot of time creating drum beats and looking at different ways of creating background effects. They were completely distracting away from the voice. As can be heard here.

 I tried to salvage the song by adding in different effects which reverberated the drums and made the voice appear echoing however these didn't make the drums more in time which is very important. I simply could not play in time to what had already been recorded and by chopping up the piano track so much it was difficult to piece it together again with the voice without suddenly speeding up or slowing down (tempo changes).

 The song sounded better without the drums.

Also the acoustics in my house are terrible as it is quite echoing so the sounds just travel up and away from the recording device. In my next draft I knew to record somewhere smaller such as in the practice rooms as school.
