John Tempesta visited Drumeo to analyze his drum part for 'More Human Than Human' by White Zombie. The song features a simple looping drum beat influenced by disco and John Bonham. Tempesta created the groove during rehearsal after joining the band. The drum kit used was a prototype Tama Grand Star with specific bass and snare drums. The groove was later developed by Charlie Clouser, contributing to the final version of the song.
"There's a lot of kind of disco beats on this record with double hi-hats. Rob [Zombie] loved that stuff, which actually gave it a lot more movement... Listen to '70s disco, or John Bonham in particular."
"I actually came up with the drum groove in rehearsal. I had just joined the band, we're writing the record in this small studio in north Hollywood in the middle of summer that was hotter than hell. I just started playing this Bonham groove and Rob was like, 'Keep playing that.'"
