Just added a second drummer to my band.

We had practice without the guitar player recently, and my friend Ryan took a video.

Absolutely HIGHEST of compliments. Though, we get that FAAAR too often to actually be a doom band, even though that's what we say we are. Doom-punk? Stoner pop?

For the show we have on the 1st, I'm bringing my 4X15 rig AND my friend's Silverface Bassman 100 with the odd pyramid 4X12. And my guitar player is using a JCM 900 into 2 4X12s, and an Acoustic 2X12 combo going into another 4X12.


So, I agree, basically.

two drummers is awesome! Only band I've ever seen doing this live is cult of luna and well, let's just say that they do it well. Anyone who's seen them with two drummers know.

Both my bands share rehearsal space and therefore there's two drumkits in there. Ocassionally wheen/if we have a friend/other musician over at rehearsals he or she get's to sit behind the second drum kit and go mad. It usually ends with the two drummers going off at each other back and fourth and the rest of us just laughing. :thumb:

Nicely done! I'd say dump the guitar player, get yourself 2 or 3 amps and take that lineup on the road! :rock:

Our first show with the new line-up was yesterday, and it went really great. It was outside though, in the 105 degree Texas sun, so everyone was EXHAUSTED. But, the new drummer beat through his bass drum head, then just kicked it over. So, in summation, it went well. We've got another show friday, and we may get video from that.

Also, 500th post!

That was cool, but I can't imagine having to deal with two of the bastards on a daily basis. What happens if they breed? How will you find enough drugs to keep them happy? How do you mop up all the drool?

Only one smokes pot, and that's why he has a job (he actually buys it from his boss). And, it's more sweat than drool. The solution is towels.

Rusty Box is one of the only pedals I still nEEd. Funny you mention the tone machine, cause I've been thinking about adding that to my build list.

One of these days you'll be able to play a show here without even having to bring your gear :lol: :lol: :lol:
