: Alan's comments :
“These drum pads were used to perform the rhythm parts to ‘Personal Jesus’ plus a few other songs during the ‘World Violation’ and ‘Devotional’ tours. We would use the Akai ME35T audio/midi units to trigger the appropriate samples when one hit the pad. In the case of PJ for example, the samples triggered would have been the original recordings of 3 people jumping on flight cases which created the famous ‘stomps’. The pads were custom mounted on the Pearl stands and I would have these set up next to the drum kit (or keyboard) for the relevant numbers. Also included with these pads are 2 sets of used drumming gloves (required to protect my delicate hands;) and 2 pairs of unused super-strength, signed drumsticks.”
