Doktor Avalanche is The Sisters of Mercy's drum machine,
taking over drumming duties from Andrew Eldritch after the first single, Damage Done.
Originally the Doktor was a Boss DR55 "Doktor Rhythm" featuring
only four sounds, not much of a memory - and one MONO output ...
However, it's there where he's got his name from ...
In the 1990ies, the Doktor was running on a custom rig under DOS 3.3, despite Adam Pearson's desire to run it with "logic" on a Mac.
On recent tours, the Doktor has been intermittently responsible for<vr/>
playing bass as well, probably when guitarists' hands got tired.
