I was in high school when Billy Cobham was playing Tempus drums and Meinl cymbals. It was weird not seeing him behind a set of Tamas. His drumming absolutely amazing and unique! Plus, the man can groove and go super deep-pocket like no other!

I was there at the Catalina Bar and Grill gig. 1989. Inspirational! Talked to Billy for 20 min about finger technique. 🥁

@magn8195 3 года назад

Nice!! He is a master at finger technique! Did he give you any tips?

@89Fredbear 7 лет назад

Billy's one of a kind period! Nobody captures the energy he produced on stage! He's very intense but he can also groove with the best of them!

The great COBHAM, human and musician !

Very articulate, pleasant and informative delivery - and I’m not even a drummer. But I was a huge Mahavishnu Orchestra fan in high school and saw the band in concert eight or nine times.

An amazing drummer! Saw him in 1986, Chestnut Cabaret, here in philly. Great show!

I met Billy in 1978, at the Chicago NAMM Show. Had the opportunity to chat for a while. Then, I asked him who was his all-time favorite drummer...........are you ready for this? He replied, "Ringo Starr, hands down!" Of course, I think Ringo is great , but I was not expecting that from Billy Cobham. He said that Ringo had such a presence on stage, and his fills were out of this world. and among other compliments, he stated that Ringo was "....the man!:

@godbluffvdgg 7 лет назад

Great story! Must be great to meet him up close...I saw him live here in philly at a small venue...Monster drummer! Ringo has a peculiar style I could imagine someone like Billy C. appreciating...

@gitpickergeorge9 7 лет назад

Yes, Even for me (a guitarist) Billy keeps the action going, and the tension, high. Very interesting. I think that since Ringo was left-handed, playing on a right-handed kit, he had to approach things with a different method. With that said, his fills would end up being his own unique expression. It sort of reminds me of the famous gypsy-jazz guitarist, Django Reinhardt. Because of his injuries in a fire, he basically used his first two fingers for fretting. So his approach to fingering solutions resulted in him being so unique! Peace and music!

Gitpicker George :)...Same to you...LOVE and music...Namaskar!

Interesting. I met Carl Palmer, at a clinic, in New York, in 1988. When asked who his favorite drummer was, he replied, "The guy from ZZ Top." I was never quite sure what he meant. At the time, all of the ZZ Top records used a drum machine. English humor, maybe? It seemed to confuse and/or go over everybody's head.

@gitpickergeorge9 7 лет назад

Very intriguing! I would think that he may have been tongue-in-cheek at the moment; unless there was something that Frank Beard may done that was very essential to the interpretation of the song. I would have guessed that Carl would have named someone like Buddy Rich, or (a little more modern) Tony Williams. Thanks for your comment!

I love hearing Billy speak about music and drumming. Thank you for uploading this!

@alecl9430 7 лет назад

Wow, his solo near the beginning is flawless. He built that up so perfectly and left me wanting more at the end of it. I don't know how old Billy is here but that might have been the most complete solo I've ever heard from him for the style that is famously his. Possibly the height of his playing creatively. This video needs more views.

@Nissardpertugiu 3 года назад

Maybe 35 years old . So the flower of age as strenght and experience

@Riddim4 6 лет назад

There is a lot of truth in this.

@juanvallejo8826 3 года назад

Those Meinl Billy Cobham signature Tritone cymbals sure sounded beautiful!

@gitpickergeorge9 7 лет назад

Isn't that Jeff Berlin on bass? One thing for sure, it is as if Billy doesn't have a "standard" percussion instrument, and has then out there like a lead guitar! What depth and color!

@gitpickergeorge9 8 лет назад

I think, that one of the biggest challenges for drummers is when they have a solo It is so easy for it to go stale after a while. Billy is not like that though, as is Barriemore Barlow (in my humble opinion). Peace.

@DonaldSturgeAnthonyMcKenzieII 4 года назад

Are those Meinls he’s playing?

@jeffo-3 3 года назад

I was at this gig / seminar back in '89 when I was attending B.I.T. I don't think they recorded an album. Could be wrong. Correct me if I am. Thx

@saftmaja 2 года назад

@ManosRK 8 лет назад

What year is this ? Pretty old I bet :P

@sticktrik 8 лет назад

This is from the mid 1980's...not sure what year. He is playing Tempus fibreglass drums. I think he played these drums just before he started playing Mapex drums!
