Voelund - beatlesmix by Olli H

[Pedaling Prince]

In this case drums were samples. Maybe the mono mix of drums masks their real nature. I also blurred them to make them sound even more as one instrument instead of many separate instruments.

Ah. I suspect that "blurring" was part of the reason they worked better pushed to one side than they did in Voelund's mix; "blurred" a little they didn't sound quite so unnaturally isolated over on the right.
