My recollection is that Duane left brother Gregg in California, came back home and formed the Allman Bros. I believe he said he had two drummers, because they were both too good to let one go. Same reason he ended up with another lead guitar player, Betts was just so talented he wanted him in the band.

Nope. It was his plan. He had Jaimie first. Then Berry. He wanted two drummers. Jaimie was a jazz drummer. Butch was classical. Jaimie helped him find the guitar player he was looking for. Duane said Dickies my guitar player I just ply along. Something like that

When they gave Duane crap about it he said Otis had two drummers. I have two drummers.
