Alan Myers

Pictured is Alan in the "Whip It" music video with two of his Synare 3 drums. Alan used two Synare 3s along with a traditional drum set from 1979 to 1982. Alan also used an all-Synare kit with 7 of these on the 1982 tour for playing electronic sounds.

Alan used a Pollard Syndrum Twin unit on DEVO's 1979 and 1980 tours. In the attached image, the white pads are the drums themselves, and the blue box is the synthesizer unit. They can be seen and heard in this 1979 clip featuring DEVO playing "Softcore Mutations".

During a pantomimed performance of "Girl U Want" on French TV in 1980, Alan Myers used an Electro-Harmonix EH-5300 Space Drum and a Super Space Drum in place of traditional snares, as seen in a video uploaded by Alain From France.

In the music video for "Beautiful World", Alan Myers can be seen tapping out the rhythm to the song on an LM-1 at 1:50.

The lm-1 features heavily on the associated album "New Traditionalists", and to a lesser extent "Oh, No! It's Devo!" From 1982 and "Shout" from 1984, where it can be seen next to DEVO bandmate Mark Mothersbaugh, under its successor, the LinnDrum; https://images.equipboard.com/uploads/source/image/110424/shout.png

Lastly, the lm-1 is visible in a behind the scenes interview during the "New Traditionalists" tour, at 0:35; https://youtu.be/s7Pj4IeLU7A
