Chubby Checker-The Twist

The re-recordings have super big cymbals right from
the start... that's the easiest way to tell. Beyond
that, the snare drum is softer in the mix and the beat
is more of a four-on-the-floor style (with the
aforementioned open hi-hat cymbals). On the opening
note played by saxophone after the introductory snare
hit, the dynamics of the note don't change.

On the original version, the opening saxophone note
after that introductory snare drum hit gets louder in
the first four beats and the music has better dynamics
overall.
