Offset at 20,913. This doesn't change anything (hopefully). All it does is make sure the measures (white ticks) start where they are supposed to.

Normal
Modding now...

Hard
I know spacing is wacked, but it's still readable, surprisingly. I'd keep it mostly as-is.
Your combos seem a bit random, though. For this song every eight beats may work.
You need some more Finish hitsounds. A good place would be 00:50:68 (1), IMO. (You can keep the clap there, too.)
Personally I would use a much higher slider velocity.

00:39:91 (1,2,3,1,1,1,1) - Spread these out. Uuuugly.
00:43:08 (1,2,3,4,5) - The patterns like these are fine but some parts of them are obstructed by sliders which kills readability. I would move them further away from the sliders so not even the approach circle hits them.
01:00:81 (1) - Replace with a spinner?
01:11:90 (x) - Why no notes here?
01:21:71 (1,1,2,3,4,5,1,2,1,2,1,2,3,1,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,1,1,1,2,3,4,5,1,2,1,2,1,2,3,1,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,1) - Or whatever, the repeated section. You should add variation. The song is repetitive as it is and I think writing a new pattern for this repeated part of the music would be benefitial.
01:49:58 (1) - Replace with a few 1/4's or 1/8 or whatever to match the trumpet?
01:52:12 (1,4) - etc. Whitles?
02:02:33 (2,3,4,5,1,2,3,4) - Not easy to see that these are ... whatever they are in the timing. They seem off, too. Also, add a new combo to (2).

I would probably turn distance snap on because some of the spacing was quite disorienting.
Also, I agree with the weird combo locations. I would recommend you keep it constant not like 00:24:08 (5,1,1,1,1) and 00:34:68 (6,7,8,9) in normal.
I would also recommend you change the way you place your notes to form more straight line because your spacing is a placement is also a little random in positioning.

On another note, I kind of like some of normal's patterns and beat placement such as the sword and 00:24:08 (5,1,1,1,1).

Keep up the good work.

Let's see your opinion about the map (timing, note positioning...)
All help appreciated with kudosu ^^
Alright, changed almost every mistake of the beatmap I consider. Beatmap now looks more better. In Hard the note positioning is not random now. I have changed the combos, and fixed the spinners. Thank you all.

[Timing]

Offset and BPM ok.

[Overall]

Use slider tick rate 2 for easy.
Some beats are bad spaced. Example on easy : 01:35:01 (1,2,3,4,5) On normal : 00:21:54 (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9)
Some beats sounds bad. Example 00:30:01 (1) on all diff's.

[Easy]

00:25:34 (7) - 1 square up.
00:28:51 (1) - Remove new combo.
00:30:01 (1) - Finish this spinner here. -> 00:31:047
00:32:94 (3) - Too close from (2).
00:58:83 (3) - Start this here -> 00:58:91 And fix break.
01:55:92 (1,2,3,4,5) - This is too hard for an easy map.
02:24:742 - Remove this break!

[Normal]

00:21:54 (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9) - Bad spacing. Fix.
00:30:01 (1) - Finish this spinner here. -> 00:31:047
02:24:742 - Remove this break!

[Hard]

00:30:01 (1) - Finish this spinner here. -> 00:31:047
02:21:57 (1) - Finish this spinner here. -> 02:23:475

Finally, an original idea...
Time for some mod-action!

Easy
[00:21:540] from now until the spinner (not for the lat two brown beats), try a "rhythm chart" like this:
clap-normal-clap-normal, clap-normal-clap-normal and so on!
[00:31:670] from now until 00:39:579, try to use again upper rhythm chart, maybe adding some sounds where it's normal
(oh, and use a finish for the spinner!)
[00:46:240] (1) whistle ALL this slider and add a clap beat on 00:50:670
[00:53:210] (1, 2, 3) try to whistle all the beats on this series
[00:56:380] (1, 2, 3) whistle the two sliders, end the 1st one with a clap and the 2nd with a finish; plus, clap the beat!
[01:10:630] (1, 2, 3) finish these beats
[01:21:090] (slider) finish it here
[01:23:610] (1, 2) whistle here
[01:31:200] add a beat here
[01:33:750] (1, 2, 3) in order: 2 whistles and a finish!
[01:35:010] (1, 5) claps here
[01:41:350] add a beat here
[01:41:980] (1) replace this beat here
[01:45:780] (1, 2) whistle on the slider, clap on the beat
[01:55:920] (1, 2, 3, 4) in order: two claps and two finish sounds!
[01:59:880] (1, 1, 1, 1) clap these beats and place them in the center of the screen
[02:12:390] from now until the end, clap on even beats!
[02:21:270] (slider) start it here

Good work for overall spacing! I'll mod the other modes later...
Star'd!

[Easy]

00:54:48 (1,2,3,4) - Beats number 2, 3 and 4 should a bit farther from beat 1 and closer to each other (Using distance snap will help you a lot here)
00:58:28 (2) - This beat should be a bit higher.
01:35:03 (1,2,3,4,5) - Each beat should be closer to each other.
02:18:72 (3,4,5,6) - Compared to other beats in the combo, these are too close to each other (quite dumb if the other beats have the same timing as these)

[Normal]

00:31:91 (1,2,3,1,1,1,1) - I sincerely think these should be just one combo.
01:33:74 (1,2,3,4,5) - Why is the sword figure different from the one you've been using? You should place beats 4 and 5 back to the original spot.

[Hard]

00:39:91 (1,2,3,1,1,1,1) - Again, I would put this in one combo.


Other than that, all nice. I love hard despite it's chaotic layout. It's fun ^^
Star for 'ya

I just noticed...you're not using grid snap in this...I think
resnap everything with grid snap

[Hard]
Grid Snap this too

Grid Snap everything first D=
....nice song choice though

Stick Kill Bill in the source.
Maybe lower hitsounds.

Easyyyyy
Oh god I just realised something - a lot of this isn't grid snapped. >_<
00:21:54 (1) - Clap
00:22:81 (3) - ^
00:24:07 (5) - ^
00:27:87 (2) - ^
00:29:14 (4) - Finish
00:31:67 (1) - Down 1 grid, looks nasty
00:43:71 (3) - Finish
00:46:24 (1) - Remove whistle, sounds bad
00:53:21 (1) - Space this evenly please
00:53:84 (3) - Finish

You know what, there's something about this that just puts me off modding it at all. I wonder why all these people starred it?
The notes aren't grid snapped, it isn't spaced, and so much of it so... ugh I dunno how to describe it. Look at ranked maps in editor to work out the kind of stuff you're doing wrong.
