PaulWarning Posted June 2, 2020 Share Posted June 2, 2020 I believe Showaddywaddy had two originally because two Leicester bands combined, when they parted company with Malcolm (the Duke) Allured they managed well enough with one. Seen two versions of the Glitter band twice in the last 10 years, one with one drummer the other with two, both brilliant gigs, they did all the Gary Glitter hits 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He did say that his job was to play the bog standard drum stuff while the original drummer played the fancier fills and show off bits. If there was a drum solo it was mainly Pete Phipps that played them. I don't recall the drums sounding "bigger" when i used to see them on TOTP but i was very young.

Interesting character. Played down his club a fair few times many years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave A friend of mine lived in one of the Glitter band's former drummers in Shepherds' Bush back in the 80s. Totally irrelevant, but at least i remembered it! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can remember the flat, on the road out the back of TV Centre, and I think it was Hammy Lee (Furniture) who I used to visit there. He moved into a flat opposite mine in a building in Acton after that. All so long ago now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was a new venture for him at the time, probably early 90’s ish. Certainly a colourful character... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EssentialTension Posted June 2, 2020 Share Posted June 2, 2020 I was in a band with a drummer and two percussionists. Does that count? It did sound massive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

borntohang Posted June 2, 2020 Share Posted June 2, 2020 Oh Sees have had two drummers for a while now; Melvins/Big Business, The Fall, Radiohead, White Rabbit all at various points. It's still a thing left of the dial. I really enjoyed playing with a percussionist/drummer setup, but you have to have a canny percussionist or it has a certain "brass band falling downstairs" vibe to it.

Thats really the only period of Dead music I like apart form 2 studio albums made in 70 which had 2 drummers. Same with the Allmans Brothers who I was a fan of for years until the drums did my head in. They seem to fill all the space, one usually playing straight the other adding all these needless fills. Now Showaddywaddy, that I can can go for... The reason Showaddywaddy had two drummers was something to do with them forming from two separate bands i believe.

Because when you go and witness a King Crimson concert, you realize why they decided to go for three instead! Such an unique experience.

rasher80 Posted June 24, 2020 Share Posted June 24, 2020 I saw a long forgotten mid-table indie band called Rialto at a festival in the late 90s who had 2 drummers. It looked like they were playing exactly the same thing which I couldn't get my head around Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
