Hi John. Here is my drum idea on your nice song, as requested. Feel free to reject if it's not what you were looking for :)

Thanks Boss. Am looking forward to listening to this tonight. Song is still very much in flux so we still have a lot of freedom on this one.

Ok. Open to changes if needed...

Nice job Francesco. I really like your intro passes back into the verse sections.

Really solid!!

Thank you Ian :) Always happy for appreciations from a great bassist like you!

I think we got us a keeper! This is first rate, Francesco: really love what you did as things transition into the last few measures of the chorus. Would like to integrate this into the mix whenever you're able to post your seps. May do a bit of chopping and tinker w/ your drum sound a bit, basic mastering stuff, get your feedback on how I do. Appreciate your lending a hand - or more accurately - TWO hands - on this. Singer really dug it: he's calling you the "Roamin' Roman." I know: doesn't make a lot of sense, but I think its supposed to be a compliment or something...

Happy that you like it, and thank you for your appreciation (and singer's too)! About the drum sound, I totally agree that there is some mastering to do since the sound is very rough at the moment. And this time YOU are the driver!
Will probably upload sep tracks tomorrow (don't think I will have time today - sorry).
Do you like a single track for each mic (8) or should I group together the toms and upload a stereo track for the 2 overheads (so the track would be 5)?

5 is ambitious enough for me, Francesco
