A powerful two-bar double-bass pattern establishes the four-sixteenth-note subdivision feel that’s later broken and regrouped by three sixteenth-notes, creating a tension-building fill. Different people interpret different things. [Laughs] ‘Alright, it’s gonna work the whole way.’ That’s the first thing.“So after I track, I am listening to – first of all, ‘Does it sound like it did before?’… There’s a musicality, and then there’s… *points at the computer* ‘Did I hit the right things at the right volume?’“There’s a lot of hits on the drums. We are ready. After that, it’s a different team, a different interpretation.“But it’s bizarre because no one in the world is gonna hear it the way that I experienced it out there, except another drummer that knows, ‘This is the reality.’ What’s interesting is that most of the world hears it from a different perspective.“I used to wonder why my sound got interpreted so differently than how I experienced it. The snare drum out there would destroy the window… and I hit so, so, so hard.

For a drummer, what do you mean?

That you wrote a riff and you brought it to the band? The drums sound differently from, like, three feet in front than 10 feet in front than behind the kit than down low than up above.

Let me give you an example. Mangini’s signature one-handed sixteenth-note odd-time groove kicks in about a minute into this song. So we hope to get it good enough right there.

It’s pretty much how it is.“When I’m listening at that stage – ‘Did I do what needed to be done?’ – and that’s what I listen to in the playback. For example, melody — that's the only copyrightable thing, right? “This record [the new DT album ‘Distance Over Time’] unfolded differently than any other one that I’ve done – because I was a part of that engineering process by default. What is interesting – a lot of fans don’t think that I do. You’ve got to understand, when I’m listening and I play and it’s recorded, I’m then out of it. Home now. And that’s only at this stage. I’m out of what’s happening in here [studio control room] after it’s done.”“It’s always been out of my hands. So if I don’t do that and they do all this work, that’s a bummer.

So drummers can provide beats. "What does it mean when someone says, 'I wrote that song too.' It’s very bizarre.“Because I know what the engineer is telling me about. The point is melody doesn't exist without rhythm. Kiss singer, Paul Stanley previously stated about the band returning on the road: “We are waiting. The melody and the lyric. Over the years, talking to Jimmy T [James Meslin, engineer] about frequencies I just don’t want in my drums – he soaked up all that and then did his thing, basically.“So what happens is, when we get that initial sound… I said it has to be right because that is the sound that we’ll try to get back to for the beginning of every song so that the album’s consistent.
