The drums are not a drum machine. Depeche Mode recorded the Some Great Reward album close to a construction zone. The band would record themselves hitting metal pipes and sheet metal by using hammers and other tools. A Niagara field recorder was used to record the sounds. Those sounds would later be loaded into a Synclacvier II with the sampling option. Depeche Mode would then edit the samples. The Synclacvier II was the main keyboard on the Some Great Reward album The kick drum sound was usually an A.R.P. 2600 synthesizer. On tour Alan Wilder used a Emulator II sampler and Martin Gore used a Emulator 1 sampler. Those samplers would be triggering the samples that were originally loaded and edited using the Synclacvier II
Most of the drums on this album were sampled from real drums. Recorded at Hansa in Berlin, they used huge rooms to get the reverb and using 3 floors of the studio for different drum sounds which is why they sounds so powerful. According to the engineer at the time, "A lot of the rooms and the gated rooms were all running live for a long time as we worked on the mix, with some of the fills on that song featuring every drum hit going into a different room. It was like we were throwing drum sounds around three floors of the studio". They stopped playing it live in 1988.
Since you enjoy the Rock oriented songs more, check out "Useless" from the album Ultra. It has some great guitar riffs and little bit of a solo too. I will say thou my favorite song from that album is "It's No Good" which is more synth and electronic.
I also wanted to propose this song. The reason is the same as mentioned here... It sounds like rock oriented song. This is good selection. I would prefer album version...

best band in the world. Great review
what do you think of the sound in the song Blasphemous Rumors?
This was my first introduction to Depeche Mode. I have been a fan since.
Stripped is magical! ❤❤❤
''Only when i lose my self'' it's a really well crafted one ,they have even the demo version that i recomand to listen befor the mixed one:)
Nugget of information.... there is a sample of Carl Orff's Carmina Burana within this song, captured using a Synclavier.
With dm always go with different genre so for next one i suggest - sweetest perfection, only when I lose myself, barrel of a gun or before we drawn
Before We DROWN *
the album version doesn't fade out...way better

If you are looking for other Depeche Mode songs to review I recommend »Stripped«, »Never let me down again«, »World in my eyes« and »I feel you«.
yes...

the ending of the song is different in the album release Some Great Reward...
Mid 80s music is the best imo!
I have been a huge fan of 'Panning' Jimi Hendrix used it alot in later albums.
Yayyyyy
