With regards to drum kits and them being unpitched, this is generally true... but occasionally drummers will tune their toms to specific pitches. What follows is a video of Terry Bozzio (formerly drummer for Frank Zappa and everybody else) describing the setup of what is claimed to be the largest tuned drum trap kit. It's insane.

Well, the title is Figure it out, her lip and the naked feet were alarms, as well as she looks kind of out of it in some parts, as if she's getting out the drugs he used.

Seen them live. For 2 piece band they are absolutley amazing. Sure nothing mindblowing but they have that groove in most of their songs that is just so cool live.

Lol at the false start ... just take a break ;) . Poor thing.
Royal Blood ... only a bass guitar and drums. 2 guys. The beginning you mentioned can be played with one hand simply hammering on and pulling off a single string. The drum part was completely recorded on the first take in the studio.
The bass is heavily distorted ... much has been written about how Mike gets his sound. The video is one of my favorites. Simple but very creative.
The actress in the video is Stella Maeve Johnston.
I thought this was interesting as musically there is nothing complex about it, but it would make for a fun analysis ... bravo!
