Gainsbarre Posted June 14, 2008 Share Posted June 14, 2008 I saw a band in Australia, called Wolf&Cub that use two drummers. I thought it was going to be really amazing, but it wasn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jarlaxle 56 Posted June 15, 2008 Share Posted June 15, 2008 Most bands work better if they use one drummer and a percussionist, if you ever see a Progressive Rock band "3" from NY State, they use a drummer and percussionist and it works very nicely. Also, Pink Floyd has a percussionist in addition to Nick Mason on their PULSE dvd... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kirchzep27 Posted June 15, 2008 Share Posted June 15, 2008 The grateful dead always used their two drummers well in their music, seemless, never got too busy sounding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hickory Man Posted June 15, 2008 Share Posted June 15, 2008 I never could understand the use of two drummers in bands like .38 special...as far as i could see both played the same part. Why cut up your profits for that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew! Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 I have been watching the 2007 Crossroads dvd's and clapton has been useing two drummers is some of the songs towards the end of the dvd. I thought this was really cool and a good watch for anyone! Check it out im pretty sure you can youtube it if you dont have the dvd. I believe I saw a video of The Allman Brothers Band playing a song live, and they used two drummers. I thought it was cool too, but it just sounded like one drummer. Nothing too special. I guess if you don't do it well, it ends up being like having two bass drums as opposed to a double bass pedal. Looks cool, but in the end it doesn't matter.

jimmie ray Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 When I saw Santana, he had several percussionists, using a great variety of instruments - it was intense! But any more than one musician playing the same type of standard drum set is completely unneccessary, to me. I think Mickey Hart sucks, regardless of how nice a guy or knowledgeable about music history he is... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LukeTheDuke Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 In the early '80s there was the mighty Adam Ant (adam & the ants ) with a two drummers set: real 'burundi' sound and "ant music for sex people, sex music for ant people". Lovely! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Olipticle Posted June 24, 2008 Author Share Posted June 24, 2008 Well the only one i have seen recently was the clapton one and the two drummers where in sync most of the time but both filled in different parts of the song. Its good if you have more then 2 guitarist's on stage as the drums might need an extra kick to be heard well. But all in all A great way to present and play live Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zosodude13 Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 In the later days of King Crimson... the album Larks Tongues in Aspic used a drummer (Bill Bruford) and a percussionist (Jamie Muir) if you have ever heard the track Larks Tongues in Aspic (Part 1)... the effect of percussion and standard drums is hard to beat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
