In the live performance on KEXP, Joseph Mount uses the Boss DR-110 Dr. Rhythm Graphic drum machine for all the songs.

"I bought the Boss Dr. Rhythm [DR-110 rhythm machine], and I was fascinated by the fact that you could actually play all the ideas you had in your head by just pushing some buttons."

In this Dec 15, 2009 article for Magnet Magazine, John Flansburg, as co-guest editor for the month, details his use of the Boss DR-110:

The DR-110 was an early tool for TMBG. There is nothing real about the sounds that came out of this early “pro-sumer” drum machine, but more singular to the DR-110, there was nothing particularly big sounding about it, either. The graphic display can be tapped into, which put it well past the pre-programmed “accompanist” rhythm boxes that were created for console organ players, and hearing the results of an entirely hypothetical graphical idea turned into a rhythm wasn’t usually successful but was still fascinating.

Additionally, in this 2025 Tumblr post, John confirms that the band used the Boss DR-110 Dr. Rhythm Graphic for early Dial-A-Song recordings around 1984. This includes its use on the song "1999", the first demo of "Don't Let's Start", and tracks on the 1984 Promotional Demo Tape.
