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
playing bass as well, probably when guitarists' hands got tired.
For elaborate technical details on The Doktor and the whole of his extented equipment
