    Oh yeah. Does it sound like the bass drums are programmed? To me it sounds like he's got a drum machine going while he wails away on the kit.

    I seem to recall that Alex had a double kick set, and he actually added a second beater to both pedals, so each kick would give you kind of a "flam" effect. This was a precursor to the great speed drummers of today who can play kicks like no one in the 80's ever imagined. I'm sure guys like Portnoy, Mangini (Ok, not just DT drummers, but a lot of others) can play hot for teacher without breaking a sweat.
    I got nothin' :

    ...avoiding any implication that I have ever entertained a cognizant thought.

    No way is that a drum machine, certainly not one that would have been available in 1983.

    My contributions to this thread:

    Rolling Stones: Get Off Of My Cloud
    Rolling Stones: Under My Thumb
    Kiss: Do You Love Me
    Kiss: Shock Me
    Kiss: Torpedo Girl (played by future Late Show w/David Letterman drummer Anton Fig)
    Frida Lyngstad: I Know There's Something Going On (played by some guy named Phil something or another)
