Yes it's good. My comment is to get you to go further
About the "trumpet", it sounds a little dry compared to other instruments. You can use a mixer channel to try different treatments (e.g. try all available effects in LMMS, chorus, reverb, eq, lo fi, etc. This could give unexpected and beneficial results).
Concerning percussion, I identify:
- a kick
- two snares
The first snare plays at the same time as the kick once in two.
The second snare could benefit from some rhythmic variations (for example, fills at the end of the sentence, or a few ghost notes at a time, etc.). Or you can make a set of variations on the velocity of this second snare.
You can possibly introduce a discrete hat a few measurements after the arrival of the second snare. This can be very discreet in terms of volume, and this could add some barely perceptible dynamics (dynamic in the rhythmic sense).
Concerning the final kick roll, after the last kick, when the chorus starts, you could try to place a noisy BOOM not very loud. That or something else, in order to improve the effect you want to get with the acceleration of the kick leading to the chorus.
Actually, I don't know. I just feel that something could be done to enhance the track (and not just the percussion part).
