Bands with 2 drummers
 

Having a debate about bands with 2 drummers and if they sound cool or not. We can't think of many:
Adam and the Ants - cool
Foo Fighters (at some live gigs) - cool

Can anyone think of any more?

Rush often sounds like they have two drummers (they don't), but they certainly sound cool.

NIN on pretty Hate Machine, well on the video for head like a hole I assume they were on the record.

Slipknot have mutliple percussionistsish as well.

I've got a really good double cd of Adam and the ants a shame he went nuts. He had a part on the Equaliser as well another blast from the past show I used to enjoy.

Last time I saw ...and you will know us by the trail of dead they had two drum sets setup. It sounded good both when they were in sync and out.

Allman Brothers - 2 drummers and a percussionist - very cool

yeah the videos were fantastic when I was a kid, stil got it on the mp3 player....
NIN at woodstock was a classic cd, I think that was drum heavy...

Re: Bands with 2 drummers

hmm....they go back decades and have a wide range of sounds...are you specifically looking for good drums/percussion?

One of their best songs that has it all is In Memory of Elizabeth Reed. It has some truly great playing by Duane, great drums, keys, and so on. Get the live from the fillmore version. Its a 13 min long instrumental that I never get tired of, adn you can hear the various drum parts throughout the song. They finish with a small tight drum solo that will give you an idea of how well jaymo and butch play together.

As far as more recent stuff, Instrumental Illness is a jazzy song with some great percussion in it that's worth checking out. Also, if you have patience and truly enjoy music, then I'd also check out Dreams, Blue Sky, Mountain Jam, Pegasus, Morning Dew, and Jessica to hear more of what they can do.
