Karma Police -- how to?

possibly on drums, but i dont beleive so. any certain parts you can point out where you think its on the drums. im kinda curious now... although what you might be hearing is most likely johnnys crazy analoge systems he uses. some rad drum machines and synths and whatnot that are out of this world.
 
dont let this thread die! i want a radiohead thread. talk about them! please.

OK. Am I the only one here who thinks Karma Police sounds like The Beatles' Sexy Sadie? Especially that piano part during the chorus? And that the McCartneyesque stepping bassline during the outro section sounds kind of like Piggies? The heavy-handed drum part during the verse sounds quite Ringo-like in general, etc.

Discuss amongst yourselves...

By the way, I was right in terms of the Kaoss Pad being able to do exactly that sound.

The setting might as well be labeled "you know how that one Radiohead song ends?" It's one of the loopers that just takes the last however long of sound that goes through it and makes a feedback loop while muting the original signal.
