realistically, if you need more than 2 drummers (to play on each song), you don't love your original drummer.
or your original drummer is going to think that, 2 drummers (fine)...more than that
a bit overdoing it.

Oh yeah!? Well, the Melvins have done shows with three drummers. That must have been before HAT came out, I have a dvd of one of those shows.

I'm a sucker for the tone of a bed pan.

Don't pin me on it, but could it be the guys from Vaz and Melt-Banana?

Sacrfice.

Don't forget this will not be the first time melvins songs have been done with two drummers. Melvins/Fantomas big band have played some melvins songs since that show in 2000 with Dale and Lombardo sharing the stage. Theres a great dvd available of the more recent european tour (bologna). Check it out if you have the time/bandwidth.

So tell me, who is afraid this two drummer thing is gonna suck horribly? I mean, anything off of Ozma would be great with two drummers, but sometimes I can't help thinking Dale alone would be just ~~fine~~, I mean perfect. The stuff he does at At A Crawl can only be disturbed by an extra drummer.

On the other hand, I have probably more than 100% percent faith in these guys. But still..

i don't think it is going to suck. at the worst it is just going to be less-than-impressive as a duo, but i don't think it will detract from dale's solo performance you know? i'm saying it can only be positive or neutral.
they'll probably just play a lot at the same time and battle here and there.
