I saw King Crimson a few years ago with three drummers at stage front and it was incredibly powerful. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris_b Posted August 2, 2023 Share Posted August 2, 2023 In the early days Earth, Wind and Fire used 2 drummers, which increased to 3 when Maurice White took a drum solo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bassist used no pedals at all! Nice!! I LOVE Young Gun Silver Fox! Had no idea they'd done this.... As an aside, their live bassist Dave is now the new Pretenders bassist..... 😎 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hellzero Posted August 3, 2023 Share Posted August 3, 2023 Sons of Kemet are playing with 2 drummers. We saw them live twice with the original "second" drummer Seb Rochford and the two different tuba players: it was excellent. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he might have depped in the Pretenders before getting the gig proper. The YGSF live band is (or was) the same touring band as Shawn Lee’s solo touring band, where instead of having Andy Platts on lead vocals and keys, I’d play keys, guitar, percussion, flute etc instead and Shawn would sing lead. And before Dave joined we had Ernie McKone who is also a monster player. Great gigs to be on. The Hyde Park gig featured a YGSF set, and a few other acts, then a load of us grouped together as The Soho Radio All-Stars and did a long closing set with guest vocalists. Hamish Stuart, Terri Walker, Afrika Baby Bam from the Jungle Brothers who was excellent, the Cuban Brothers got up too, and there were others but I can’t remember who now. We’d headlined a tiny little festival gig in Dorset with Hamish and Terri Walker previously so we were all familiar with his set. Was still nervous playing with him though. Again, drums plus two percussionists. The percussion charts were really intricate, punters probably just think it’s all tambourine but there’s loads going on to replicate the original recordings. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2pods Posted August 3, 2023 Share Posted August 3, 2023 I saw a vid of Hamish with Baz and the Tomorrow band. Multo funky. Unlike the version with Ringo, and Steve Lukather (sp ?) there. Did you notice Ringo wasn't going for the hihat choke accents ? I'm not sure the other drummer (whose name I can't recall) did either. Just my opinion 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
