Notes
-----

The Sangpan part is fun to plan, but, I guess, it's not easy for 
beginners. Actually, it's not the original idea I had. I just could not 
read my hand-written notes. So here are two alternative Sangpan parts 
which might also be easier to play:

              |   /_ _ _/ /_ _ _/ /_ _/_/ /_ _/_/   |
  Sangpan     |:  | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |  :|
  (original)  |   O     O O     O O     O O     O   |

              |   /_ _ _/  _/_ _/   |
  Sangpan     |:  | | | | | | | |  :|
  (simplier)  |   O     O   O   O   |


One idea behind the Dun Dun part, and that's why there's no bell on 1, was
to express the feeling of 'looking skeptically around' (O___), then get-
ting a ring (___/ O___) and finally 'waking up, popping one's head out,
looking curiously forward to what's coming' (___O O_/_ O_O_).

Oh, and if you wonder who's the tiger, who's the drummer, and who's the
rat: The drummer plays the solo part, the rat plays the Dun Dun and the
tiger, as tigers always do, jumps around from mainly the Sangpan to the
first Djembe and backwards, also occasionally tickling the rat and hugging 
the drummer.
