I just use the one in Cubase - Groove Agent. I'd imagine most DAWs nowadays have something similar. I looked at one or two drum plugins but TBH they don't offer much of anything over and above the stock DAW s/w IMO.

If it's Depeche Mode you're going for specifically, I would go with Arturia Emulator II and CMI. Unless you want really early (Vince Clarke era) DM, then you want the ARP 2600 for drums.

I don't know that they ever used a dedicated drum machine. I don't think that was ever their style.

They used a Boss DR-55 in the very early days

Also TR-808 (Broken Frame), Drumulator (Construction Time Again), and Yamaha RX-11 (Black Celebration) - but I agree that it wasn't their style to use dedicated drum machines in the way they are commonly used. They'd use a sound from one here, a sound from another there, but were very careful to avoid having a stock sound by using too much of any.

Haven't looked to see if I posted last year or whatnot, but

- Pulse Code

- samples from Samples from Mars
- samples from Wave Alchemy

Just lately I've been using the IK Multimedia Neil Peart kit, even though they aren't electronic, and they're from an album in the 2000s.

I wish it also had the Simmons sounds he used on the Grace Under Pressure album.
