    The Night Before" is mainly in the key of D major, with a brief modulation to G major in the bridge, and is in 4/4 time.[ The verse's vocal arrangement uses what writer Kenneth Womack identifies as a call and response structure; however, musicologist Alan W. Pollack instead describes it as "hocket-like" due to it being a "single thread vocal line shared" between the lead and backing parts. According to author Jonathan Gould, writing in his 2007 biography Can't Buy Me Love, the arrangement "highlights the increasingly complex and conversational relationship between lead and backup singing that would figure heavily in the Beatles' music in the years ahead." In the opinion of musicologist Walter Everett, had the Beatles recorded "The Night Before" at a slower tempo, it "could have been a Kinks or Animals song".

    Hey Stu, drums submitted... this was harder than I expected it to be... do I need to stop making fun of Ringo?

    Perhaps :-) I think your track needs synching

    @stubass: I think this should do the trick. I sent a mix with the sync corrected. I couldn't help myself. :-P

    @CopyCat : Hey Stu, I threw in another track where I played the bridges more cleanly and with a more vintage sounding drum set, which I think fits better. I moved the old one to drafts. Hope this works better!

    @MikeWalker: oh wait, you know what, don't publish this either. I'm getting some bleed from the track. I'll figure that out and post a new one today.

    Lovely job so far on one of my favourite Beatles songs, although it's just about impossible to just pick one favourite.
