I hear something too when I slow it down to 50%, but I'm pretty sure it's not the bass. When you listen at 100% speed, there's one long note.
2 Things I noticed over the years:
- Youtube uses compression on everything and this results in errors/artifacts in the audio. You hear these when slowing down the audio. I almost never have these doubts when I transcribe from CD.
- Sometimes you hear the "movement" of the frequencies when slowed down
And sometimes there's a n°3: Production... 25 guitars, 37 keyboards, 521 strings, 44 percussionist....
I think the bass drums gives the impression that there's another hit by the bass on that low E
That's also a problem sometimes when you're transcribing: musicians make "mistakes". So, do you notate the mistake? The notes he meant or didn't mean to hit? Sometimes, like in this case, it's clear what he intended to play. Do you notate that or what you can (clearly) hear on the recording?
Yes, these are the kind of articulations I don't notate. Else many scores would become unreadable.
Edit: I corrected some other mistakes and replaced the PDF with my final version in the original post
