Great work
Looks amazing fun, use this as an excuse to get more bass gear
Double drummers means double cabs
Though I'm not really one to like 2/more drummers, it kinda seems wasted if both are playing the same beat/groove
But works for you guys, and respect for that
The only other place I've seen it work is for Sydonia, but for them its more extra percussion then a full other drummer

We actually added the second drummer to match the volume of the amps.

My favourite 2 drummer band is Do Make Say Think. They're awesome. And one of the drummers is left-handed, so the sets are arranged like a reflection. At least it was like that when I saw them open for Godspeed.
Berg Sans Nipple whom I saw opening for Do Make Say Think were a band that consisted of two drummers. So, yeah, they had a lot of cymbals and melodic percussion stuff (only cool use of steel drum I ever heard) and both were occasionally playing keyboards with one hand. But it was two drummers, basically.
Machine That Flashes who I saw opening for Godspeed were using only basses.
These were three different nights. Now: how often have I seen Tortoise?
I will shut up and watch your video, man.
(Just noticed that i can watch it in the "topic review" down there. Cool sound, man I like it. it's cool that the drummers are sitting in front of you guys. But I think you're right. not much doom in there. buy a megalith for your guitarist, maybe that will help. at least it'll make him happy.)

That does need to happen, but the bastard refuses to buy any really burly fuzz pedals.

For some reason, a octave pedal into a big muff into an old Acoustic 2X12 combo and a JCM 900 is somehow enough for him. Sad, sad state of affairs.
