No, they had two bass players, and only one drummer (that being "Dan, Dan the Fast Drumming Man")

Possibly wrong, but did not Neds Atomic Dustbin, have two drummers?
Remember seeing them sometime early 80s, excellent sound live.

Ah, but did you ever see Gary Glitter live - with the two drummers. I'm not
making any great claims on their behalf, but it did work live and pissed all
over any actual records the Glitter Band made.

While we're on the subject here's some more: Genesis (post Gabriel) did one
or two numbers with both Collins and Chester Thompson on drums. Fantastic
noise. Yes, on their union tour, used both Bil Bruford and Alan White to
great effect, and Bruford joined forces with Pat Mastiletto in King Crimson
for a season. And yes, I witnessed all this live (AND The Fall AND Gary
Glitter). Is anybody on the list any further away from street cred than
this?
