Double drumming

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Double drumming (sometimes referred to as double drums) is a musical technique, used mostly in rock music, where two drummers each play a drum kit at the same time.[citation needed] One may play the rhythm while the other may play another style, or both may play the same rhythm. It is more common to have a main drummer with an auxiliary percussionist who plays Latin American percussion, toms, or mallet percussion, but this is not considered "double drumming".[citation needed]

Featuring two drummers has been common in jazz music, in particular in free jazz.[1]
