I thought Death in Vegas were supposed to be a patchy live band? Huh? Because what I've been hearing (or rather, downloading), they ROCK LIKE MAD. Which begs the question, can you go wrong with multiple drummers? There's DIV and DM (mid-90's onward) giving their live shows a major adrenaline boost by featuring live drums over canned beats. There's the double drummer attack of the Fall, the Warlocks, and even the country-fied live edition of Toronto's Polmo Polpo. Multiple drummers rule. Is there an exception? Double guitars or keyboards can and do suck under some circumstances, I can envision two bassists not working out (although this is also nearly a sure bet, i.e. the Fall (again), Killing Joke, Trane Live at the Village Vanguard), but two drummers? Never. Ever?
