Dance Music”. s. 82.
[Alan] Schwartzberg, who played for everyone from Stan Getz to Judy Collins and
James Brown – sometimes in one day – pays tribute clearly to the trendsetting work of
MFSB drummer Earl Young in such up-tempo Philly classics as Harold Melvin and The
Blue Notes’ “The Love I Lost.” But Schwartzberg got most of the notice for developing
disco’s characteristic sound: a driving, open, high-hat cymbal. He often fielded calls
from producers and drummers for step-by-step instructions in disco technique: “It
sounds like it’s just ‘shh, shh,’ but you’re actually playing [the cymbal] double-time and
opening the high-hat on the ‘and,’” he explained to them.

Donna Summer: Love to Love You Baby
• 1975
• Tempo: 96 bpm
• Prod: Georgio Moroder &
Pete Bellotte
”the four-to-the-floor beat of
the bass drum was elevated to
the center of the mix (…) I just
felt the bass drum was so
important”, says Moroder ”The
thought was, ‘Why not help the
dancers to dance even better by
making the drum into more of a
stomping sound?”
