I have the Grateful Dead narrowly edging the Allman Brothers Band. Honorable mention to 38 Special.

I don't think Genesis generally employed both at the same time. Which is what I am getting at here.

If memory serves, I believe the Doobie Brothers had two drummers.

Yep, every tour since about '76 or so. Chester Thompson was the drummer, super nice guy, too.

Sure they did. Phil and Chester worked out a very cool drumset duet that they performed during the Genesis shows for many years. There were also several points during the shows where both played at the same time.

I'm partial to Modest Mouse. Although they did fine with just 1 drummer too.

But Genesis was better with Gabriel in charge doing complex music while Phil could actually concentrate on being the great drummer he was in the early days. Nothing they put out later can match those early albums in complexity and diversity. "The Musical Box" for example is superior to any of the pop dreck they did with Phil running the show.

Sully Erna with Godsmack did a killer dueling drum solo when they opened for Metallica at the Ford Center

That's all a matter of opinion (and not what original topic was about anyway), but I don't recall anything terribly "poppy" about Wind And Wuthering or Trick Of The Tail.


Oh... and Phil is still a great drummer, why use the past tense?

He came out recently and said he is no longer physically able to drum.

Dang... that's gotta hurt. I knew he played all through the final Genesis tour but hadn't heard about anything since.

I used to get some weird pain spikes up one side of my shoulder and had some problems with one of my fingers from poor technique, but having to shut it completely down is brutal.

I'll have to admit that the transitional period of Genesis you are correct about, but I still don't like that phase as much as the Gabriel years. As for the past tense, I was mainly referring to the much more simplistic style and lack of time changes in his solo stuff and in his pop version of Genesis than his physical limitations now.
