Yo, Big D,
This is sensational!!! They say "behind every successful man, is a woman". You'd better be careful. Alli could turn you into a super star if she keeps asking you to do more songs for her.
Seriously, you should consider uploading this song, when it is finished, to some of the sites that run contests for original compositions. These are the kinds of songs that WIN!
Don't be concerned about "borrowing" drum parts from mididrumfiles.com. That is what they are for. I've used them several times. They are also easy to add to and learn from. Even though I still borrow drum loops, I am now writing a lot of my own. That's a great web site and their newsletters are very informative. Keep up the good work!
