Members -Ed Phobes- Posted July 22, 2016 Members Share Posted July 22, 2016 pkae0-TgrRU Anyone know what happens at 4:38 in this song? It sounds like all the muffling fell off the kit but he kept playing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil O'Keefe Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 Actually, I'm hearing the change at around 4:36. It sounds more like a bump in level than a change in the dampening on the drums… probably intended to keep their impact up during the fade.

Members onelife Posted July 22, 2016 Members Share Posted July 22, 2016 Perhaps it was an edit or a punch-in done under slightly different circumstances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members -Ed Phobes- Posted July 23, 2016 Author Members Share Posted July 23, 2016 Hmm, both possible answers. I was hoping this was documented somewhere on the net. It's such a radical and immediate change...Why would an engineer/producer do it that way? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members onelife Posted July 23, 2016 Members Share Posted July 23, 2016 Upon further listening - with headphones - I'm hearing another drum being hit (in the right channel only) that is in unison with the kick drum. It sounds like it may be a floor tom. I'm thinking this may have been added, as Phil suggested, to reinforce the drums during the fade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members twosticks Posted July 25, 2016 Members Share Posted July 25, 2016 I'm thinking like Phil, to keep the intensity of the drums up as the song fades, Plus I guess that back when this was one of the few ways to do it? Personally, I think it was just a way to change the sound to keep the song from sounding like it was the same thing over and over?? Otherwise, I don't know?

Members Drumstix101 Posted July 25, 2016 Members Share Posted July 25, 2016 Two different sized kick drums. It sounds like he shifted from the 20" to the 22" at the end Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members rayboomboom Posted July 26, 2016 Members Share Posted July 26, 2016 The main difference I hear is it sounds like the fade out started, then in the mix down they either over dubbed another kick or turned up the existing kick. It sounds like a single headed kick, btw. But the rest of the drums sound the same to me. Interestingly, the rest of the track doesn't have a very full drum sound. Why didn't they beef up the kicks in the whole song? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members onelife Posted July 26, 2016 Members Share Posted July 26, 2016 With a limited number of tracks available on tape, some bits used to get added when tracks became available - for example, when the vocal is finished they might use the track to double the kick drum.

Phil O'Keefe Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 If I'm not mistaken, wasn't White Room waxed on an 8-track? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
