You said it yourself, instead of just varying the drum patterns, you need to change the musical content.
You also might want to change the instrumentation when the chorus starts, because you don't want to build all that tension and energy and then have the drop sound exactly the same as the intro you know?
The snare is pretty weak. I like the drum rhythm itself though, that kind of shuffle is something I've been trying to create forever :cry:

You're spot on about variation. A B-section would be nice. Just having the A theme repeat over and over again can be graaaaa[url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V_O7-brKyP4&feature=player_detailpage#t=48s"]aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa[/url]

Also, I was wondering what was bothering me about the sound of the track, then the drum solo hit. I'd say you're going a bit too heavy on the reverb. A little reverb is nice, and can give instruments a sense of position, but especially on drums you need to be super, super conservative with the reverb, otherwise it makes the instrument really muddy.

Unlimited Mana also gave some good advice.
