Drum duets

What's the best you've seen?

Got chatting to a friend today about drum duets.

My favourite is still Phil Collins and Chester Thompson, Genesis (We Can't Dance Tour), Leeds Roundhay Park 1992.

Collins gets a bad rap as a singer IMHO but he is definitely up there as one of the greatest drummers. And Chester Thompson; well he was voted most underrated drummer recently on Rock Radio Manchester by Steve Bury. Legend!

Anybody thinking about incorporating a drum duet into their set?

agreed i would have said Phil and Chester, Phil is a superb drummer, even as a guitarist im a big fan of all the great drummers, Ian Paice is one of my faves

Classic vid. Brilliant.

Animal was actually a chap called Ronnie Verrall, you may remember him in Frank Skinners 'Skinderrets' in later life. Passed on a couple of years back.

Great fun but some awsome drums
