Sweet Thunder has a very rhythmic underlying track along with timpani for emphasis.  It doesn't have drums per-se but still has a distinct rhythm.  Personally, it's one of my top 5 Yello tracks.

"Sweet Thunder" is another Yello instrumental that did not have drums;
however I don't believe that it really needed them.  Do you feel that "Takla
Makan" needs a drum track, or were you just pointing out that it doesn't
have one?  Just curious.
