How did you think we all knew so damned much about the 80âs and 90âs? We frigginâ lived it!
@Missy_Pants: Saw 'em on the same tour, can concur with said gif.
So. Much. Smoke. Machine. Smoke! It was hilarious. 1/2 the time we couldnât even see them at all. Eldtrich stood with his foot on on a smoke machine that was pointed at the audience! Ah, good times! 
Their official website* states is that it (he?) was a Boss DR-55, Roland TR606, TR808, TR909, Oberheim DMX, Yamaha RX5, Akai S900, S1000, and S3200 in that order.
*Not that you should necessarily take that as gospel.
Its just one of those things I read in an interview ages ago that stuck in my head simply because âoh! Iâve got one of those tooâ.
I wouldnât be at all surprised if some of the 12" mixes used a 909 and some later things used the Akai samplers (I only ever owned the keyboard version of the S700). Iâd be quite surprised if the DR-55 was used, maybe just for a few sounds, same for the 606. Those machines werenât loved and for good reasons.
Some of their really early stuff, maybe?:
Incidentally, I have a (moderately modified) 606 and like it a lot.
not a DR-55 kick and snare are all wrong, same for the TR-606 I think. Cant be an RX-5 as those didnt exist at the time of that record.
