Billy Cobham Spectrum 40 concert

RW

I agree about the fastest hands - invisible really

and now that you remind me the drumset was set up in that fashion

pretty cool

One of a kind drummer.
Is he still playing a large drum kit? Does he still use North Drums?

Huge drum kit. Sibian cymbals not sure about the drums,
Mind blowing at his ability and quickness at age 70.

One of my all-time favorite drummers. I saw him twice with the first Mahavishnu Orch. and once with Bob Weir.

I love the first part of Miles Davis' "Right Off" (side one of "Jack Johnson"). What he and McLaughlin do in the first few minutes is pure gold.

Saw Billy twice with the MO, 3 nights in a row when he premiered his Crosswinds band, and the last time when he was recording for GRP. I always felt he was at his absolute best when he was playing amongst his equals/peers. Unfortunately, he decided to emigrate to Europe decades ago and his star shone less brightly. I must own 30-40 records with BC on them, starting with Dreams (1970!). Nowadays I cherry-pick tunes from his new recordings via the net, he'll always be a favorite!
