The direct kick mic is responsible for mono punch and clarity in the middle, with the fundamental root note almost matching the song key (and harmonics at 68 Hz and 140 Hz), while the very 3D sounding room mics of the drum-set appear only on the sides of the mix. This is 100% dissectible when separating stereo and mono information from the the intro drum-loop.<br \/>\nThere is also an almost unhearable Synth Kick added on the chorus which shows a resonance at 49.5 Hz, just above the bass note G1.<\/p>\n<p>This screenshot shows the frequencies used by the drums on the sides.

In both songs I\u2019ve looked at, \u201cAll About That Bass\u201d and \u201cShake It Off\u201d, the fundamental frequencies of the two Kick Drums matching the starting chord (in the verse) and the root note of the song key (in the chorus).
