Sounds pretty good from here. I didn't find the intro all that repetitive and I think it worked OK.
To echo a previous comment though I'd probably swap the drums for... something else. Maybe some light percussion in the quieter sections, then expanding to that "big group of percussionists" type thing in the more upbeat sections, etc.. IMO that might better fit the overall feel of the piece which is sorta dreamy and almost bordering on a "world" sound in spots.
