Notes:
The bongos section in this tab are taken off the ASOH video performance. In that
performance, Neil plays the bongos section on the first two toms, the 6"(1) and
8"(2). So they're represented on the tom line by 1 and 2.
B on Hi-hat line = strike next to the bell of the closed hi-hat
E on Tom line = Electronic Tom under the left arm (Simmons pad, with tom sample)
D on Percussion line = Low Cowbell
C on Snare line = Clap-Trap (Hand clap sample)
T on Tom line = Timbale
