The Story
The drum sound on "Everything in Its Right Place" was created using an Akai MPC2000 sampler for the rhythmic patterns and manipulation, with reverb processing from an AMS RMX16. The track was produced by Nigel Godrich during Radiohead's experimental period, where they heavily incorporated electronic elements and sampling techniques. The drums have a distinctly processed, electronic quality that fits the song's atmospheric and abstract style.
