Yeah, it's amazing how the audio in this program has improved exponentially since the 1st series. Some of the incidental themes are very fitting. Some of the music in the first two series was laughable.
I think that I've worked out what the drums mean..
The master was brought back by the Time Lords. He was given a new body and his conciousness was installed into it. But of course given his past form of general nastiness and backstabbery it would have been prudent for the Time Lords to build in a means of control, or even to self-destruct the 'weapon' should it decide to join the other side. So the drums are used as a means of control. In much the same way that signal can be used to control the humans into doing the Master's bidding, the Master now has a in-built means to be controlled by any other Timelord who uses the in-built access code (ironically that comes to the fore after the Master has escaped or after a certain time). I think that the code is something that was chosen that the Doctor would recognise, possibly by someone he knew during the Time War.
"Observation is the path to understanding. Self-observation is the path to self-understanding."
That was quite good. Not as good as the last few, but nice anyway.
I think Simm's doing a great job with the Master - sure, it's still clearly pantomime villain stuff but he's decided to play it as The Amoral Mr. Fruitloop rather than another chin-stroking Grand Vizir so it all works out rather nicely.
And I claim a giant no-prize since I told you all it would be a simple sonic screwdriver job on the time warp thingy to get out of the last cliffhanger and back to the TARDIS.
I'm also praying it's not a Dalek thing but I think it probably isn't because he's told the Doctor it's more personal to him than that.
And flipping through channels later I was quite shocked to find out that Alice Cooper, Sandy Tocksvig and Gareth Gates didn't, between 'em, know what a Dalek was.

I've seen it twice now, but not sure. Did the Master not say there was about 6 billion toclathanes (alien bots) kinda of around the same as the population of earth, or am I just getting things mixed up.
Oh, and they reminded me of the aliens from the chicken little movie, nice cute furry things inside.
And what was all the stuff about the Masters wife and how he helped her father, just filler or plot points?
