I'm not sure if you would consider this to be a finished song, or a demo, or a work in progress or what, but I have a few suggestions if you're interested:
First thing that came to mind was that the drums are too repetitive. I do all my own drums in my recordings too and I know it can be pretty tedious, especially if you don't even play drums! (like me!) However, time spent crafting some nifty drum beats can greatly enhance your sweet guitar riffage and make it feel more like a song.
The song itself is a bit repetitive too, it doesn't really seem to go anywhere. All the rhythms are fairly similar, you don't use too many different chords or seem to switch keys or anything. Also, the lack of any lead or melody lines detracts from it a bit as well. Is there supposed to be lyrics over top? If you're still into working on this song, I would try seeing if you can spice it up a bit and put in some variance somewhere. Something to make the listener go "hmm, this is interesting..." and then whack 'em back with the main riff again.
Just some ideas
Keep rockin'.
