Last night I was flipping through channels on TV and landed on Palladia (as I often do) and found Joe Bonamassa at Royal Albert Hall in London! playing. He has two drummers, Anton Fig and Bogie Bowles. Everyone knows Anton but I’d never heard of Bogie before. Anyway, I was watching this thing and I kept asking myself, “What’s the point of having two drummers?” I really enjoyed the show and they seemed to spotlight the two drummers. Through most of it, they appear to be playing pretty much the same thing, though. I know this isn’t the first time it’s been done. Other bands have done it like Grateful Dead, King Crimson, Ringo’s All Star Band, Genesis, Allman Brothers, and the list goes on. Here’s a clip I found from the show I saw last night.

I was just curious what you all think about the two drummer thing.
