What about key changes, then? :lol:

[ManFromGlass]

Perhaps better than a minor 2nd off from the key of the song?
Maybe the song comes back to that initial chord progression?
It all depends on the sensibilities or lack thereof of the creatives.
Even the deadest toms have a recognizable pitch/tone to my ear.
below 11k that is :smirk:
Tell me you can’t sing the notes of the toms at least . .. . .
And how can you tell if the drums aren’t tuned to the song unless you can detect their pitches in the first place?
I’m a fan of both tuned and random tuning chaos - whatever serves the song best.

Great point :lol:

I guess then it's

[The Elf]

The minor second lift at the end of a song is a staple of ballads.

[ManFromGlass]

Great way to make the drummer layout until the ending then!
:D

Is that Neil Pert’s kit?

Yep, that's a ballad covers band kit if ever I saw one! :lol:

And look - you only need 1 mic

Problem is, it need going exactly where the drummer's sitting :lol:

It's either Terry Bozzio's or they're doing a stocktake at DW.

Didn’t say you can’t sing it. I said there’s more than one pitch but you’re going to ignore them. It’s not that they cannot be perceived. You make it a choice. The risk is you’ll hear the root, but someone else will hear the semitone, as the pitch.

Go look at some drum sounds on an analyser. Very interesting.
