There are some really nice, meaty toms here and there (check out the tracks "Dancing In Berlin" or "Now It's My Turn" if you happen to have the album) that don't sound like any drum machine I've heard. My guess is that they're old Simmons, but I don't really know. I'd like to find out so as to pursue the beasts, sampler in hand... --Adam
