What is making that sound?

[BlueSky]

OTHER than production magic, what is making that almost sliding sound across what I assume is the snare? It does sound like just a snare at times, but there seems to be something else there. (It can be heard for the first time right around 36 seconds in.)
I have watched a couple of live versions, and I still hear the slide...I'm guessing it has to be electronic rather than organic (acoustic?)

[MDK]

Probably electronic on recording but I think it could be easily duplicated acousticly with a short type of rain stick or even a metal guiro w/ metal brush. Love that song BTW it kind of gets in my head atleast once a week.

agreed production studio magic I assume. A studio produced sound using a program of some sort.

MachinedrumKelly has a great idea about using a short sequence "Rain Stick" - look those up on YouTube - you should see a few different models and the sound they make. But more than likely, what you hear in the video was probably done in the studio - electronically~!

Sounds like very loose snare wires or chain on snare. Old trick with chain

A belt slapped against snare drum?

[Drumbledore]

I'd say it's just some sort of electronic sample, done as an overdub, all part of the "studio magic."

[xweasel]

Assuming you're talking about the sound that precedes some of the snare hits, it could just be a reversed snare hit with the initial attack cut out.

You can make a similar sound by turning the snare drum over and running a stick a crossed the snare wires.

[Linchpin]

Sounds like an electronic sample over and acoustic... every second one sounds like the sample is reversed.
