In all seriousness, I've worked with Joey before and he's the softest-hitting drummer of all time. The sound on "Paper Tiger" is a perfect example of how drums sound totally different when you're barely hitting them.
If you did "Paper Tiger," check out Serge Gainsbourg's "Melodie Nelson" album. "Paper Tiger" is a direct bite from "Melodie Nelson" right down to the production aesthetic. |
Another Beck 'direct bite' is his song 'Beautiful Way' off Midnight Vultures - a very close cousin to The Velvet Underground's b-side 'Countess from Hong Kong'.
Glad to hear I'm not the only one who noticed the serge gainsbourg reference :^) how shit (but cool) do the drums sound on that track?! so flabby & dead, but it leaves so much room for the vocal, strings, bass & guitar! what an album!!!
cheerio,
