Default How did they create that sound on "Mercy Mercy Me"?

do you mean the one acting as "snare" drum in the pattern?



Here, that haunting, echoing "ponk" sound. I've heard it described as
sounding like a racquetball caroming off a wall. Doesn't sound at all
like a snare.

That's a cow bell. Sounds like it's miked with filtering and struck
with a yarn mallet rather then a wood stick.
