@brajtnerinjo the drum "machine" they used was named John Lever, as produced by Colin Richardson (who, bytheway, went on to produce, among many other metal bands, Bullet For My Valentine. go figure!)
@latexprem I'm sure you mean many many metal bands, not other metal bands. Interesting info though. The drum sound is similar to that used on the Chameleons 'tears' and the great drum production is a major feature of songs like 'soul in isolation' and 'swamp thing, as I'm sure you know already.

@latexprem I don't know, it always sounded like a linndrum to me, maybe because it is so simple
