Above is a link to Radiohead's song Reckoner. Well that's all very nice I hear you say but what's that got to do with my project? In short this song has a unique drum track which is of particular relevance to my idea. It display's well the type of industrial sounds I would like to achieve within the percussive aspect of the project. If you are using earphones then take out your left earphone leaving the right channel only and play the song. This will allow you to here the drum track in almost complete isolation because of the way the track was mixed.
The drummer in question is Phil Selway. Phil used the bell of a cymbal (the dome part closest to the centre) to get a high pitched 'cling' which to me connotes images of hammers and heavy industrial forging. I think when you listen to the track you'll get the picture. Enjoy!
