There is this really awesome sounding part in Crystal Skull by Mastodon. It is comprised of 16th notes on the double bass and the same (i think) on the toms, snare, and crash. Surely one of you drum gods can figure it out. I cant exactally figure it out though.

Here is a video of Brann dailor (drummer for Mastodon and my favorite modern drummer) playing it; at about 10 seconds he hums it and then plays it. This video really shows his skill by the way.

Here is the album version. It starts at 2:01 and lasts about 30 seconds.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks :)

This guy did a cover of the song and this is what he interprets as the tab:

C|X-----X-----------------|X-----------------------|X-----------------------|
S|------------x-----------|------------x-----------|------------x-----------|
T|------------------x---o-|--o---x-------o---x---o-|--o---x-------o---x---o-|
