The toms were a bit of a risk.  There are only a few tracks I know that
have such a prominent repetitive tom pattern and that's Tangerien Dream
circa 1984/5.  This is the inspiration for the track.

The toms have some reverb that give them their own space.  It might be
too much?

Thanks for the feedback.
