Drummer Tribute – Billy Cobham
When I was a kid I bought a cassette at Thrifty’s because it had Drumsticks on Velvet.
That album is “The Best of Billy Cobham” and had the song’s; Pleasant Pheasant, Stratus, Red Baron, and such incredible drumming, truly inspirational.
Here is my old band playing my arrangement of “Red Baron and Stratus”
*Recorded on a Boombox Cassette with Bandana Filter 😉
even though the quality is not high, I just love the interaction with the musicians,
