For background, we play a strong club and don't have a weak two diamond opening.

Our passed hand can't show hearts, but we're fairly aggressive opening 2H.

1S-

-1N
-2C natural, usually six
-2D natural, usually six
-2H constructive raise
-2S weak raise
-2N limit raise with almost always 4+ trump

Honestly if you're going to play 2 way drury imo it should be one is weaker and one is stronger, and not say anything about 4 card or 3 card. Even that probably has limited use, especially in the context of opening light and strong club which I usually play. Playing standard and 2 way drury, thats how I'd want to play though, but I'd rather just have 1 bid for drury.

How about Marc Smith's suggestion of P - 1M; 2m being support with the minor bid, in effect a form of non-fit jumps? For the record I have never played any form of Drury in any partnership, not least because it was banned in England when I was a junior. In my strong club system, relaying and bidding the major performs the same function as (3 card) Drury but that is incorporated into the system directly (in all seats) rather than being a bolt-on.
