I do music as a hobby and tried to use YouTube to share some stuff with Reddit/Discord/friends and I couldn't get anything to survive unclaimed for more than a day after posting on Reddit. I was using maybe some samples from percussion but from a pack that I have a license to but the rest of the stuff was my own sound design and arrangement... also it sounded really bad. Now I just don't share on Reddit anymore and mostly use private links because of that experience.

Your original work uses the licensed track. You have a copyright. Someone else used the same track in their original work. They also have copyright. Your work is similar to their work. If they were first they have a plausible copyright claim against you. Unless the license was copyleft. Which is a motivation for copyleft. The license to a drum track only protects from claims from the rightsholder of the drum track.

There is nothing here that matches reality of copyright. The owner of the original recording that was sample owns the copyright but can license to others without losing it. If you have a legitimate license and the licenser is the legitimate copyright owner, you are in the clear. One person using it doesn’t make them the owner. The copyleft advice is also completely wrong. Copyleft in the context of music is untested in courts and wouldn’t make a iota of difference here.
