Rock or Pop music that feature a hammer dulcimer.

I don't know either but great song anyway.

 

So this is how Brian got that sound! Turns out to be pretty standard mountain dulcimer technique. You could have knocked me over with that feather...

 

....and "Sittin' On A Fence."

 

...and "I Am Waiting."

This thread definitely puts me in the mood for Aftermath!

 

Several Richard and Linda Thompson songs feature hammered dulcimer. "When I Get To The Border" comes to mind immediately.

 

Oh yeah! I forgot all about "Commoner's Crown" which I played to death in my youth.

 

Amazing! He's got so FX going on there too?

 

He has a pedal that bends the notes.

 

Attacco Decente definitely used the instrument. I'll post The Will Of One as representative of their sound, although I'm not sure if the instrument shows up on this particular song:

 

Was just thinking that I remember hearing a dulcimer on a few Alan Parson's Project albums. After googling, turns out to be a cimbalom! Always wondered what that was; apparently the cimbalom is a concert hammered dulcimer.

Let me take another run at answering you. John's dulcimer is a custom job with sustain pedal like a piano. Thats what you called FX. John has many albums available on Rounder.

 

What about 'Death of a Clown' by the Kinks ?
On the intro?

 

Oh yes at least on their first album

 

On this one i think they use it. ☺
