Jeff Mills has quite a few tricks up his sleeve - and we're showing you a few of them step by step. There's lots to learn from "The Wizard" about performing on a drum machine, and that knowledge is not only applicable to Detroit Techno! Jeff originally used a Roland TR-909, we recreate the first minute of his performance live on the Behringer RD-9.
