From the intro, fans may notice this version features less heavier and aggressive drumming than the original, although both song have about the same impact of high-paced funk throughout, progressing from a slow rise at the start to sustained energy of instrumentation. In addition to capturing the intense percussive energy of Booker T's original vibe, the effort on guitar and organs which play against each other towards an intense rise until the end makes this version of "Melting Pot" a unique and memorable cover.
