DM's 'Devotional' drum kit makes a comeback!

We have some interesting and exciting news regarding Alan Wilder's 'Devotional' tour drum kit. The winner of the kit who secured it at a ridiculously low bargain price at auction recently has gone missing, and the drum kit is therefore coming back on the market! This special kit with it's unique history spent 14 months on the road with Alan in '93 and '94 and was also featured in Anton Corbijn's live film of Depeche Mode's 'Devotional'.

Alan comments: "The kit was purchased specifically when it was decided to include live drums as part of the recording of DM's 'SOFAD' and the subsequent decision to take that performance concept into the live arena. The advice I received at the time was that this Yamaha kit would be the most reliable, hard wearing, best sounding drum set for the job. And it certainly proved to be so. To enhance the experience and bring variety, I added two different and much sought after Noble and Cooley snare drums. I have used the drums many times since the tour at my studio in recording sessions for all the Recoil albums since 'Unsound Methods'. With some new skins and a nice polish, it will be ready to go, sounding as good as it has ever done."
