A quantitative analysis estimates that transposing a TR-808 bass drum down a perfect fourth causes roughly 11.8 dB of combined loudspeaker and ear sensitivity loss, supporting Scott Storch's practice of transposing the song key instead.
However, other authors have stud- ied the existence of pitch in percussion [8–10]
