English term or phrase: A two-handed team of drummers should ever get nicked
I don't understand the sentence "Tom used to maintain that there is no reason why a two-handed team of drummers should ever get nicked. " I just know each word, but not the profound meaning of the sentence. Someone said "A two-handed team of drummers should ever get nicked, he might be right about that" is a Spanish saying, meaning something evadable is possible. Someone said the saying means everyone is important to a team...I am at a loss. What the earth is the point? Who can help me? Millon thanks.

Chinese translation:英雄总有用武之地
Explanation:
Tom used to think that `qualified people with all the right skills will never get fired/remove.`

Evidently, something new may have changed Tom's view.
