That timbale player needs to be either promoted or locked up (with their instrument, of course) for that solo at the end. There IS no in-between. LOL Also I love the toy mixing in general. The Guiro sounds like it's right behind my right shoulder (best seat in the house?).
Did the timbale you were using have any other pitches for the rimshots? I think it could've maybe used at least ONE more for further variation, but it was locked on a good pitch for this track admittedly.
I honestly was about to cut the whole timbale track but after figuring out the "melody" line I kept it in. The rimshot only had one pitch unfortunately (or at least I only found one while in the time constraint of working on it).
Every pass of listening, I notice a new level of unhinged from each of the instruments that I think is why the tour guide is so upset😂 but that's just my interpretation of it.
