Garth,

As you know I think this sketch is superb. I did see the drumsticks for what they were, when I first saw this. On the other hand, I think the cymbal should be clarified somehow or else removed.

This pastel is not only brilliantly executed, it is also wonderfully spontaneous. If you can try to maintain as much as you can of that in the oil painting (as much as the client will accept), it would be a positive move. The portrait won't be a big, formal one and you might just be able to get away with it.
