Double Drumming

Double Drumming is a dynamic music technique characterized by the use of two drummers or percussionists playing simultaneously, creating a layered, rhythmic tapestry. Originating in the jazz and rock scenes of the 1960s and 70s, this approach amplifies the rhythmic complexity and energy of a performance, often resulting in intricate polyrhythms and a fuller sound. Notable for its use by bands like The Allman Brothers Band and King Crimson, double drumming adds a compelling depth and richness to live performances and recordings alike.
