I've a feeling there was a lot of echo applied, which gave a delay-type effect. It's the same on Strawberry Fields Forever, best heard towards the end (and on Anthology - "Calm down Ringo" etc). I may be wrong though.

I dunno man, i've been listening to more closely and there's a clear difference between the two.  On strawberry fields the 'double speed' sound doesn't sound like a bass drum, but more of a floor tom sound whereas on good morning, it's clearly a bass drum.  i don't think it's a delay effect either as the pattern alternates ...]]> Fri, 05 Oct 2012 14:28:31 +0100 Joe on Did Ringo use double bass pedals in Good morning? http://www.beatlesbible.com/forum/ringo-starr/did-ringo-use-double-bass-pedals-in-good-morning/#p58800 Ringo Starr http://www.beatlesbible.com/forum/ringo-starr/did-ringo-use-double-bass-pedals-in-good-morning/#p58800 I've a feeling there was a lot of echo applied, which gave a delay-type effect.

Sorry to interrupt...carry on!

Anyways, Ringo was a BOSS drummer and more ...]]> Fri, 28 Sep 2012 19:53:58 +0100 Buzzy on Did Ringo use double bass pedals in Good morning? http://www.beatlesbible.com/forum/ringo-starr/did-ringo-use-double-bass-pedals-in-good-morning/#p54335 Ringo Starr http://www.beatlesbible.com/forum/ringo-starr/did-ringo-use-double-bass-pedals-in-good-morning/#p54335 Listen to the isolated drum track on youtube and tell me he didn't use a double bass pedals on this.

It's not like it was unheard of to use a double bass pedals at the time, Cream's debut album has been out for nearly half a year when they were recording Good Morning Good Morning, and Ginger Baker was big on the double bass pedals. Same with the Jimi Hendrix Experience who were recording their debut album in London the same time The Beatles were recording Pepper. Maybe ...]]> Tue, 17 Jul 2012 11:40:15 +0100
