@Bee: Yes, these traditional patterns frequently have a melody of their own, and while it can be varied to some degree, an audience familiar with the pattern (and the dancers) expect to hear that melody.
Otherwise the percussionist had better be playing behind some protective chicken-wire!

@Tess-...I love the declaration "First" here on A.T....it always makes me laugh.
@ Norm- love it. I like the panning as well, and also love the complex pattern build, especially toward the middle. First class A+ percussion.

I see your phone continues to torture you... and you wonder why I don't call. ;)
Before you completely go off the grid, text me some GPS coordinates and blaze orange a few trail markers for me. I'll be bringing some seeds, powder and percussion instruments.
we all have cover a Pink Floyd song at some point, and the only way to cover a perfect song is to make it completely different. Deep down, I think everyone was hoping the wall was not too high, and the song could end on a happy note of breaking…
Excellent work here covering the Gilmore section of vocals on this song - I always sort of hoped the song could end at this point and Pink could reconnect beyond the wall, but alas, it is not to be so.
I'm with Daisy: I particularly love the vox effects!

Did John play this? Excellent work!
I'm with Vaisvil.
