"I've got an old Roland TR808 drum machine which has a set of trigger outputs and I use these with either a Dynacord Percuter or a Roland DDR30. I usually programme a pattern into the TR808 and use some of the outputs to trigger the Dynacord and the others for the DDR30. Once I've got a nice little groove happening along with the track we've already recorded, I just use an SRC Friendchip synchroniser to lock the two together so that I can add a few electronic drum sounds to the basic three-piece foundation of guitar, bass and drums already recorded. I also use a Roland Octapad and assign the outputs to play samples on the Emulator - oh, we've been using a Linn II drum machine out in Amsterdam as well."

"I've got a Sequential Drumtraks which is good for writing because you can programme patterns into it very quickly. It's quite variable and you can make up interesting rhythms with different timings. So I use that, and when I have something interesting I play along with it on my acoustic drum kit, filling in bits or playing a back beat."

"My main acoustic kit is a Sonor. For the tour I didn't use any electronic stuff. The PPG keyboard played many of the sequences and I had to use a pair of headphones on stage so that I could hear the timing. We wanted to play the long version of Welcome To The Pleasure Dome, but on the album it has all these overlapping sequences and there was no way we could play that live, so we had to use a backing tape for that track."
