When Your Parents Go To Sleep Drum Sound

Anybody know any background on the drum sound or how they got it?

I only listened to a bit of it, but doesn't it sound like standard kick and snare fare, with delay dialed-in to taste, for rhythmic effect?

So its some kind of delay? Kind of sounds like the effects on Instant Karma but dry instead of reverb.

[Gregg Juke]

It's just delay.

Doing a search on Youtube i came across this video, it sounds similar.

its slapback. single repeat, fast speed delay. fairly bright echo, not too rolled off in the top. could have been tape or digital.

[Gregg Juke]

From the vintage of the recording, I'd say tape delay or some kind of standalone analog unit...

Apparently in this video there is no delay, its just the way he is drumming.

[Gregg Juke]

That's pretty cool! It sounds just like delay on the recording, but he does a great job imitating it.

I do something similar (_much_ slower) on "When The Levee Breaks;" when I first heard that, I had no idea that there was slap-back (castle stairwell) on it, I just thought he played the drums that way...

I think a tape delay is what the first video had. The drums are in a small dry space and the drummer isn't playing very hard. Probably minimal micing.

The second video is just cool. Like Gregg, I learned things as a kid that I didn't realize were accomplished via delay. Walking on the Moon comes to mind.
