From my time in Kansas, with the inevitable exposure to country music it brought, I have learned that while I can learn to play pretty much any sequence of melodies, harmonies, and rhythms without much trouble, there's so much more to it than that. I simply can't play country music. I can learn the keyboard parts, but it always sounds wrong. I've concluded that it's one thing to play the right notes, but another thing entirely to play the notes right.
"Sounds a bit weird but I guess everything is possible...The drumparts aren't technically difficult at all but the thing about Giles as a drummer is that he has a very unique style and attitude. It's very possible it didn't sound right if you think about Palmers chops and playing style.
On the other hand...I wouldn't want to hear Tarkus with Giles behind the drumkit...
