White Room by Cream: Drum sound changes at 4:38...

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.

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?

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?
