right? Definitely takes me back...don't forget about the old Buddy Rich Memorial Scholarship concert VHS's....right? Vinnie, Peart, Smith, Smitty...his set was amazing. Remember Marvin Smitty Smith?....dang...
What a Master! No words... Thank you very very much for posting this Master Class! What a Blast! This last solo was ..... Hooooolly Molly! He's truly one of the bests! One of my all time favorites! Thank you Mr. Billy! You truly inspired me along the way! Gratitude Master! Cheers from Brazil! ❤️🙏🏾✨
El maestro en la batería estará homenajeado en el PanamáJazzFestival enero 2024. Billy es de nacionalidad panameña, nacido en Panamá, provincia de Colón. Y Danilo Perez con el PJF hace homenaje a unos de los mejores en la batería, Billy Cobhan. Desde mi pequeña y preciosa Panamá.
Todo lo que estas explicando, me lo trasmitiste, hace muchos años, los 80. No entiendo el ingles, pero se cada cosa que explicas... Has sido y lo sigues siendo... Mi hermano, parece que compartimos los mismo. Gracias !
Retired professional drummer here, 4+ decades into this game, he was a game changer for me in the very early eighties. Hearing his shit from Miles Davis, to Mahavishnu...man oh man. The fact that he played open handed, and had a non-sequential tom set-up, i.e. not highest to lowest which is most common. His cymbal set-up was unique, what he played, how and when he played it, and the whole 'four stick thing'...he seemed to me, at the time, he was an ambidextrous drum playing God! For me there is no 'best' drummer of all time, but imo he was the most 'unique' by far.
The Master Drumer Billy Coban advices simple common Sence to body posture to flow his sitting up right straight the spinal cord the back the balance of the body is the center core of bodies energy flow. If any one who practices yoga or Taichi will understand what energy flow & movement means 😅
I'm fascinated by the drum cymbal sounds. Huge drums cranked way up, shallow dry snare sound heavy clang cymbals, tight dry bass drums. It's all a bit of a mess acoustically but Cobham is so freaking un human I watched the whole thing!
Uses the words me and I a lot. He has huge talent but I feel watching this he lacks the ability or inclination to really disclose anything he's doing. I met him in London around 2018 at one of his shows and openly thanked him for some great musical moments. He looked at me like you would look at a dog turd on your shoe. Oh well.
30 years already.. where'd the time go. this is the only reason i've kept a working vhs

Thanks so much for posting this video! Billy Cobham has always been such an influence on me!
Maybe the greatest innovator for Drumsetplaying! Always a big pleasure to listen to him!
Never heard him talk before, you can tell by the way he speaks he contains beautiful multitudes of art and science inside
He's like Simon Phillips, in that both of their kits always sound soooooo good.
@williamperri3437 and not just open hand playing, but the playing style in general.
Wow, the full video--thanks for uploading this masterpiece!

Live Music Must LIve

Ahh, that short period when he was using Mapex.

Not a great video in terms of practical educational content, but still a valuable (and pretty rare) insight into Billy's thinking.
Agreed

7 minutes in I her alot of they, them, and u. Seems the bad experience years ago scarred you for life.
I’ve met him multiple times, first time when I was only about 9, and he was always surprisingly cordial, friendly, and generous with his time.
