I have been in a two-drummer band for almost two years. Everything is going well but... Me and the other drummer are so accustomed to playing off each other's beats that we have trouble playing alone! Examples:
1. A few months ago I played a charity gig as the SOLE drummer. I had all kinds of issues playing the simplest songs!
2. A couple days ago we were recording. The "lead" drummer was noticeably lost and uncomfortable without me playing alongside him.
This made for a lot of harassment and teasing. All in good fun.
We've really become "locked in". It's actually kinda cool. We can replicate beats that are impossible for a lone drummer. On the downside, we have become dependent upon another drummer. All in all, I'm happy with what we're accomplished so far.
