**No, you can't**.

At first one may think you could. Extracting from [the rulebook](https://www.yugioh-card.com/en/rulebook/SD_RuleBook_EN_10.pdf), pages 14-15, emphasis mine:

> Normally, 1 monster equals 1 Link Material. But **when you use a

> it as either 1 monster, or as a number of monsters equal to its
> Link Rating**.

So, one can indeed use a Link-X monster and count it as X monsters.

**However**... [Vorticular Drumgon](http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Vorticular_Drumgon) has a **specific requirement** for their materials to be ***"3 Dark Dragon Monsters"***. Therefore, you are limited to use *exactly* 3 monsters. The ruling also covers that part and indicates so in the same pages (emphasis mine):

> Remember that when you Link Summon, you need to meet 3 goals:
>
> * The amount of materials you use matches the Link Rating (Link Monsters count as 1 OR their own Link Rating).
> * **The number of materials you use meets the number specified in the materials line or “recipe”.**
> * The materials match any other requirements in the materials line (such as only Effect Monsters, or only a specific Type of monster).

So, technically you can use a Link-2 Dark Dragon for the summon, but you would need *other 2 monsters* that meet the same requirements (being Dark Dragons), as Drumgon explicitly asks for 3 monsters (no more, no less).

Drumgon explicitly states you need to use 3 dark dragon type monsters.
