Henry Mancini - Pink Panther Theme (Drum Cover)

How to play the triangle & drum-set part to the "Pink Panther Theme" by Dan Lancelot.

Note: Even though there are sparse cymbal parts in the A and C section of this track I'm also substituting Bell Tree and Vibe arrangements with the body and bell of large crash cymbals. Also, there are tom size/tone substitutions.

I have always appreciated the orchestration as well as the spontaneity of the original Pink Panther Theme. Henry Mancini and his orchestra nails this classic 60's soundtrack and drummer Shelly Manne's fluid jazzy performance is pure perfection.

From Wikipedia:
"The Pink Panther Theme" is an instrumental composition by Henry Mancini written as the theme for the 1963 film The Pink Panther and subsequently nominated for the 1964 Academy Award for Best Original Score. The eponymous cartoon character created for the film's opening credits by David DePatie and Friz Freleng was animated in time to the tune. The tenor saxophone solo was played by Plas Johnson.

The tune was included on the film's soundtrack album and issued as a single (in the United States) in 1964; the single reached the Top 10 on the U.S. Billboard adult contemporary chart and won three Grammy Awards.

Various recordings of the tune appeared in the opening credits of all The Pink Panther films except A Shot in the Dark and Inspector Clouseau. It has also been used in countless works in which the animated Pink Panther appears.

"The Pink Panther Theme", originally played in the key of E minor, is noted for its quirky, unusual use of chromaticism which is derived from the Hungarian minor scale (gypsy/romani scale[1]) with raised 4th and 7th degrees.
