Does "Do It Again 2012" use digital samples of the 1968 version?

[PhilCohen]

Does the new version of "Do It Again" use digital samples of the guitar and/or drum sounds from the 1968 version? It certainly sounds that way during the intro of the 2012 version.

[Bubba Ho-Tep]

Sounds that way to me.

Unless they found a way to make the drums in the intro sound exactly the same as 1969, then yes.

The original snare was put through a weirdly set reverb. I accidently found the setting once; I didn't save it. The cowbell sounding percussion instrument on Slip On Through has it too.

didn't brian claim that the drum sound was a metronome sped up to a crazy high speed?

I think I remember him saying that he saturated the tape machine head to get the robotic, distorted sound (see: Heroes and Villains sections, but done in a more manageable way). I could be misremembering it, though.

The drum sound is solely down to Steve Desper, and is a delay added on mixdown I think. Search the site. Steve goes into great detail on this and other songs.

OK, not reverb.

Yes, the new version uses a sample of the old one (hope they credit Desper!).  It's a custom-made Philips tape delay unit set to a super fast delay w/ repeat.

There's like ten pages on the drum effect in the Steve Desper thread.

You could get that EXACT same drum sound using the old Radio Shack analog reverb box! It's the only thing I ever bought that could make that kind of sound. (I'm referring to the effect on Denny's drums.)
