Prince incorporated a drum machine Linn Lm1 in his live setting so did you find that to be a bold move? Besides Kraftwerk not too many musicians used drum machine in a live concert. People say that Bobby only played cymbals during those days but is that true? I have seen a Bloomington 1999Tour video and i have clearly seen Bobby playing kick and snare drum but the sound comming out was linn so how did he do that? And what changed from 1999 tour to Purple Rain tour because on Purple Rain tour Bobby didn,t sit at all beside maybe Purple Rain

All of the songs Bobby Z played drums (not just the cymbols) There were many songs like Let's Go Crazy Take Me With U Darling Nikki Irresistable Bitch Possessed IWD4U Baby I'm A Star Let's Pretend We're Married etc that were straight out Bobby Z on drums with the Linn triggers

I think some parts used to be looped, a bit like when Sheila would start the U Got The Look loop then play percussion over it
