What do you guys think about bands with two drummers? I not a big fan of it personally, If there are two drummers I really would expect something mind blowing,
I just spent some time with a, er,....how do I say this without losing my cool exterior?....Ah, a
high school show choir, and the director had this crazy idea of having two drummers, and me being the money-whore I am, said 'yes'.
It actually turned out pretty cool, we actually split beats: he'd play the top of the kit, and I'd play the bottom (bass drum and low toms - with him providing the snare back beat and cymbals). Very 90s King Crimson. It got really interesting when we did some latin stuff. It was actually alot of fun after we had worked out a bunch of stuff. The show choir was rather large so we didn't have a volume issue. I recall an Airto interview when he told his wife, when he's playing the skins, she should play something metal, and vice-versa. That's basically what we did.
Only problem was when either one of us couldn't make a show, then the one that was left had to figure out how to play the whole show alone - at times it sounded empty....
But that's my extent of double drumming.
