Billy Cobham's Drum Clinic - Part 2 

I remember watching this when it was originally broadcast on the BBC circa 1981.

I like how Billy smacks that splash he's like BAM! haha

prob the coolest way to clinic

You have to wonder though why the BBC couldn't have found a more inspired rock drummer. This was recorded in London I assume so it's a shame they couldn't have put together a clinic between Cobham and the 24 year old Simon Phillips, that would have been epic.

djkozmik, yeah its unfortunate that Billy couldn't have seen nearly 30 years into the future of indie/rock drumming recording technique.

How times change... I remember all that duct tape on Pinstripes. Yuk. Glad to be out of that era...

I'm really huge fan of Cobham...but I don't get it...why he brought this two guy's..they look and sound like they fightin with drumms instead of playing them...but he is a master for all of us

Long time since I saw this. Hmm I remenber at the time I'd just started drumming and thought the jazz drummer was dull and unstructured and the rock drummer was great. But how a bit of learning changed all that. Ther rock drummer is so basic, and all that tapem with pinstripes on Premier shells? Actually pretty dreadful. To be honest I'm still not too impressed by the Jazz guy either but at least the technical ability is there. It's Cobhams stuff that saves it and is still great.

Yes true, although the rock drummer was a little basic

@JerGervasi yeah now drummers and music SUCK EVEN MORE
