go do | go do go do | -- do go -- | gn -- gn -- | gn -- go do |

I wrote this one with two pickup notes at the beginning because the "go do" at the end of each phrase in the second part flows right into the "go do go do" at the start.  The second part for this rhythm has two phrases, and the first part only has one.

It's interesting to look at the transcription to see where notes from the two different parts line up and then try to hear that particular pattern in the third recording.  I like the simple |gn -- -- -- | gn -- -- -- | pa -- -- -- | pa -- -- -- | that you can hear as the 1st part drummers pass the downbeat on to the 2nd part drummers during their first phrase.
