the Hanley/Burns combo was pretty hard to beat.

I love the Pink Fairies with two drummers:

They sound pretty ramshackle and loose but that's a nice contrast to what could've been just two guys pounding out a 4/4 beat. The middle drum solo/megashuffle bit is especially cool.

The only lineup of the Melvins I like is the two-drummer version.
Trumpeter Jeremy Pelt's 2015 album Tales, Musings and Other Reveries has two drummers and is great.

Saw King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard last year with two drummers. My primary thought was: for a half-filled club show, these dudes sure gotta split the money a lotta ways.

The new Zappa Roxy blu-ray features great Ralph Humphrey/Chester Thompson drumming plus Ruth Underwood on percussion and Zappa himself doing some tricky percussion on certain tunes

Don't forget Miles Davis's Bitches Brew, where Jack DeJohnette was paired up with Don Alias or Lenny White, depending on the track.

Yeah, "Kamasutram" from 'Rischkas Soul' is great for understated double drumming.

Horse Lords does some excellent double drumming that winds up sounding like Jaki Liebezeit overdubs.

What about when a drummer overdubs themselves? And not just a tambourine or maracas overdub, but a full kit.
Keith Moon did it here: http://youtu.be/bT3RnW1gIUs
And Tony Oxley overdubbed himself here (interestingly, even though the full quartet overdubbed themselves on this piece, for the overdub, Bill Dixon was the only one hearing the first pass in his headphones):http://youtu.be/SrGjtGgobpo

-the double drum songs on Fugazi's 'The Argument'
-two drummers with different sound palettes on most of the newest Christian Scott album
-John Coltrane, Meditations (not my favorite but should be mentioned)
-Matt Chamberlain with Matt Chamberlain on those Fiona Apple songs, like 'Limp'
i feel like i'm missing something important (to me)...

also the "one whole drumkit in the left channel, the other in the right channel" mixing solution to this always kind of bothers me. it's good for identifying who's playing what on jazz albums, but it sounds weird unless both drummers are playing an interlocking part. no more weird than those old recordings with the drums in one channel and the bass in the other, but those can be annoying too if i fixate on it (good for sampling though).
i don't know what a better solution would be, maybe divide parts so one drummer is playing the low frequency instruments (kick/toms) and the other has the snare and cymbals?
― sam jax sax jam (Jordan), Monday, 25 January 2016 17:35 (eight years ago) link
...which is basically how all the New Orleans brass band music i listen to works (two drummers, one on bass drum + small cymbal, the other on snare + large cymbal).

don't normally like 2 drummers unless they're doing totally different/complimentary things. but off the top of my head:
Boredoms (2+)90s King CrimsonAllman Brotherssome of the James Brown bands in the 60s

There is some really cool double drumming on Jim O'Rourke's "Therefore I Am" (from Insignificance), where the two drummers (or overdubbed drums, not sure which) basically play a unison, AC/DC type beat during the verses and then diverge for a couple bars after each verse.
