Oh man, we are on the same page. Even worse for me is She's Leaving Home, another schmaltzy McCartney original. I'm generally an LP guy, but when I listen to Pepper via CD I frequently hit the "skip" button for one or both of those.
Maybe I need to rethink my stance that Pepper is my favorite album. She's Leaving has the single dumbest line I think they ever wrote, which is, "Fun is the one thing that money can't buy". Really? The hedonistic Beatles felt that fun can't be bought? Love, I'll agree with...But fun? I've bought a lot of fun in my day.
Back to Within You, Without You, I'm with you regarding the tabla. The percussion reminds me of a human heartbeat, which, given the nature of the song, may have been what George was going for. Have you heard the instrumental version off their Anthology 2 album? If not, it's well worth checking out. I checked youtube, and was going to embed it here, but it's been taken off (again) due to copyright issues, etc, etc.

speaking of Sir Paul.
But, yeah, "Revolver" was the biggest "delta" (change) from that which came before. Heck of a record.
"She Said She Said" is a great rock and roll (not pop) song -- and "Tomorrow Never Knows" was decades ahead of its time in every respect (well, except the trippy "oh wow man" imagery/subtext)... the all-analog, all the time technology that produced it is, I'd opine, even more astonishing when looked back upon from the twenty-first century.
If you get suitably bored one day, listen to Alanis Morisette's song "All I Really Want" and compare it to "Tomorrow Never Knows".

all the best,

and enjoy the little bit of rawness they left in.
I like the slick stuff, of course, but it was fun getting hear the cartoon before all of the finishing touches had been dabbed on.
I love the sound of the tablas and am surprised they have not been used more often since then. But just as important is those were great rhythmic lines someone came up with, either Harrison or as far as we know unnamed player.
