I have done as illustrated and its not working...

ok had forgot to activate Midi in Reaper, but still I see no Midi in reaper after adding the Midi Drone.

I tried in FX and also in "In FX" and nothing, could you elaborate more?

 

thanks!

Check SMPTE offset. It must be all zeros. A strange anomaly with Reaper is it won't play anything if you start from zero in MTC sync mode. Start your song at 1.1.1 and put a container there.
