Yeah, by the time Controversy hit, he was using the Linn drum and told Bobby to learn to play it.

You can see electronic drum sets in the Raspberry Beret video, Mountains video, America video

electronic drums were mixed in with organic during the Controversy - Parade years. Sheila E. also played a bit mixed in during Sign o the Times & Lovesexy
