[blitzkrieg187]

Travis Barker is the Best Drummer Ever!!!!!!

[MrHinaandmeme]

ビリー・コブハムは今生きているドラマーの中でジャック・ディジ­ョネットと並ぶ最強のドラマーだろう。



[shabado3335]

please stop ruining my billy cobham youtube experience with arguments and comments over travis barker. no one gives a FUCK about You or your OPINIONS. Now, go and practice.

[Shredleder]

@shabado3335 I believe the reason they do it is to get guys like us going...I find it's best not to respond to them at all. Thumb them down, maybe. But, don't put your frustration into words.

[frostmortum]

MASTERRR.... es verdad k billy era maestro de dave lombardo??...

[firetape]

@Joeskateapool No, you check your fucking hearing!! Can you tell the difference between a drum sound and a card boardbox?? I think not....

[2411nyny]

hotdgfffgffd ffffdh fh f

[TheRunner75]

Which track? Which concert? Which album?

That's awesome

[elSimmo162]

7 people lied.

[firetape]

Why put your elbow on the snare if it sounds muffled to begin with Billy! LoL! Fantastic player with one of the worst drum sounds ever. There I said it....

[Joeskateapool]

@firetape well your hearing fucking sucks!!! might wanna get that checked out,or realize that billy knows how the fuck to make drums sound fantastic.

[DrumAddict324]

holy Mother of G-d.. what epic feel and wonderment.. love these cats.. and Billy u legend. I just wanna hug u...

[TehGav]

Herbie Hancock keeps making piano noises. It gets in the way of the drums.

[mrprogjazzgto]

LOL...When video taping Billy, there should be High Speed Cameras to catch it all.

Incredible..!!

[zonlicht1980]

Watch all the songs from this show...these guys are from another planet..this is perfection..

[cbtmale]

Had the pleasure of seeing billy cobham many times in concert. Fantastic player.

[murdok620]

i like the bit when he goes... *BUH DOOOSZH PSST!! PSST! BUH DOOSZH* 0_o

[davelewitt]

Mastery by the Master-

[KBMCINTERNETRADIO]

prince do this?????? nnnnnnnnooooooooooooo!!

[danroysanders]

I did a FlabbaDribblePolyrhythm like that on the toilet once. Billy does it in leather pants, on the drums, multiple times, in front of thousands of people ... that's the only difference between us.

[judgeofwar]

these men, are god...

[ReaganHumpedDogs]

Guy needs a lesson from Maureen Tucker. Too many notes....

[LivingTylerDurden]

how he wears a cool shirt, tie, a watch and skin tight leather pants while going ape shit on the drums and not hitting the mics one inch away? the world may never know

[murdok620]

*DRIBBLE*

[Nikitaman666]

spengadeng

[mikebott]

while i'm rather indifferent to the grateful dead, i would see jazz is dead in a heartbeat to see this guy.

[solomonsworld]

Untouchable

[johndonofrio84x]

this is metal

[halfrofunk1]

amazing drum sound

[DaFenceBoyz]

I love that little pose he unintentionally does at 0:33.

[BoyIsCool300]

I think 2:16 was a blast beat :O

[zakkah93]

THink i heard a blast beat ;)

[Primussucks81]

singles master....

[LIGHTRONIX]

0:18 that guys been have a jazzgasm for the past few minutes now, be might explode

[Rogue1219]

These guys have so much soul... Unbelievable performance..

[deejaybee]

There's only one drummer good enough to playa solo THAT badass while dressed like a mid '80s preppy psycopath Patrick Bateman wet dream.

All hail The Cobham.

[ozzylory]

alieno? 

[donnieandsarah]

That is why I can't solo good on drums: haven't been wearing a tie!

[longboarder1960]

In my opinion... The baddest Drummer of ALLTIME !!!

[gokce2112]

the real trick is to get out of those leather pants after the solo. he saves the best for last.

[QQWERTZUIOAA]

The best drumer i ever seen

[doomedelk]

commenting about travis barker on drumming videos is like talking about justin beiber on every other kind of music video.

[etano213]

the seven dislikes were buddy rich in different accounts (but still a phenomenal percussionist)

[Genosukesan]

Make Way for the KING OF DRUMERS!

[Danielcrspo]

those drum mics are huuuuuge!

[TheDiddle77]

Willie Dixon style.

[giovannibulgari]

its eye of the hurricane, i'll post it one day for sho

[giovannibulgari]

haha cue at 2:48, these guys are craazy

[giovannibulgari]

does anyone have the whole fireshow?

[giovannibulgari]

fUcckkkk

[gerbick]

Billy Cobham had three arms. He HAD to...

[YouzTube99]

The interaction between Billy and Herbie is wonderful -- looks like they're truly enjoying themselves. And Ron is Ron; solid as a rock.

[Billy2Teddy8]

Amazing. And, all while wearing the infamous rapist glasses.

[kukrima]

SABEN USTEDES QUE ESE NEGRO ES ABSOLUTO ORGULLO DE PANAMA

[mikebott]

@kukrima yo se/je sais bien

[83DrumProdigy]

Billy is true open hand at its best.... Rides with his left(Carter Beauford also does this) but billy is Billy.

[KantorekBaumerB14]

suck on that travis barker you tattoed daft haired twat

[231272oscar]

@KantorekBaumerB14 ...There are obviously 7 people in Travis Barker's family...

[owenhoho]

@KantorekBaumerB14 hey cool it. you should know that billy and travis plays different kind of music. Travis plays punk while Billy play jazz. So you need to understand first before you say anything about anyone.

[KantorekBaumerB14]

@owenhoho it was a joke mate, travis is a good punk drummer but in my opinion billy is an all round better drummer

[weirdo3759]

@KantorekBaumerB14 turns out billy is one of his idols.... guess he is cultured unlike his fan base

[KantorekBaumerB14]

@weirdo3759 yeah i was joking, travis is fine, i just much prefer billy

[weirdo3759]

@weirdo3759 sorry, i wasn't trying to sound angry or anything. i was just cracking a joke at all the fans that don't stop to think how Travis got where he is.

[weirdo3759]

oh wait.....wrong person my bad @KantorekBaumerB14 LOL

[mrskinszszs]

@KantorekBaumerB14 lol so much stupid hate for a decent drummer. people are irrational...

[KantorekBaumerB14]

@mrskinszszs exactly he's a decent drummer, but blink fans seem to think he's some sort of God among men.

[mrskinszszs]

@KantorekBaumerB14 yeah, but that's not really his fault. most fans are idiots. he's still a decent drummer, and doesn't himself say he's a legend of any kind.

[KantorekBaumerB14]

@mrskinszszs He does act like a bit of a twat though.

[panagioths0]

ta spaei

[valentodrumer1]

yo estaria re incomodo tocando con esa ropa!!!



[TheJacker23]

@valentodrumer1 Si posta, encima con corbata jajaja.

[kaidaigoji]

Not many drummers would have the guts to go as quiet as he does in some parts here. Not just chops, but true musicianship.

[SHOJMPR42]

@kaidaigoji 1000% correct

[findable]

Leather pants

[macudt]

what a wonderful trio! Three great musicians just friends...

[capncrunchalot]

I'd give up a nut for that kit.

[Volentry]

One of the pioneers.

[ILuvGloomyBears]

he must be part robot... look at his arms!

[TheHeroesNvillians]

Anyone have tabs for this?

[Mickyfinn56]

Nice Shoes.

[coolmegageorge999]

My dad used to be a pro at drumming and he says this man is the best drummer in the world.

[sparkypennyzero]

Billy is a genious drummer, what absolute brilliant stuff. All these guys, Herby, Ron and Billy, legends. Thanks guys!!!

[stephanieboyla]

Holy shit! And nice pants.

[stephanieboyla]

Holy shit!

[gergenfonchen]

Open Handed > Crossing!!

[massimo3601]

minkiaaaaaaaaaaaaaa ahahahahahaahahah non ci credoooooo 4 braccia c'ha stò batterista

[paulwall1981]

Outstanding. No more needs to be said.

[asins]

Does anyone know where this was played at? and is it available to download or on dvd :P?

[notpoorpete]

@asins This is from Herbie Hancock's "Hurricane" film. Netflix has it.

[TheGerthax]

free form jazz odysseys ftw

[eunicefinger]

vintage tama superstars,simply the greatest drums ever made.really!

[DrPoon]

I'm a straight metalhead but there is absolutely no better drummer that has ever existed.

Cobham is the best.

[beedeetripo]

he's just the best!! Greetings and repect from Holland, Bram

[Huergh]

veeeeery nice.

[mrsnakes1987]

From a DVD called world of rhythm - it's a must get

[benjaminshinobi]

digging the dahmer glasses and leather pants! Cobham's intensity is second to none.

[anewdayproductions]

you know, i absolutely hate jazz personally. i think it's just a bunch of dissonant noise really, but as a musician i respect the hell out of it. and those who think it doesn't take a boatload of talent and chops are utterly brain dead.

[monkeys350]

@anewdayproductions Dissonant noise? lol

[KnowKnot]

@anewdayproductions Why in the world would you respect a bunch of dissonant noise. You really should respect YOURSELF better than that.

But I still don't get what your "dissonant noise" thing is about... at least not compared to the weird edges of any other form.

[Mysterious19841]

They is jammin'

[Flaitesexy]

i like the part when he hits the drums

[ReaganHumpedDogs]

Maureen Tucker shuts down this poseur! Cobham gives you 200 notes when one will do. What a wanker.

[MrTeslasRevenge]

Certified BadAss!!!!

[INTERLOUDE]

Gonna see him play later on tonight at the Catalina Jazz Club, I'm super excited! Can't wait!

[sxmadrid]

@INTERLOUDE Four weeks can be a long time, but were expectations met or exceeded on the night?

[INTERLOUDE]

@sxmadrid You know what? I think he did a brilliant job, him and his band played "Stratus" too and as soon as I heard the bass line's intro, I almost fell off my chair! Had the sheer pleasure of shaking his hand after the show too! Most fantastic musicianship!

[thechildandhiscam]

you MUST search "Elektro Luhan" with google or at facebook.

It's a very good Jazz/Funk Band!

[ESP500]

Around :53 i was like holy shit. This man is my hero lol.

[clancyrusandJB1]

min 2:14!

[musikabarnetik]

wow! why do I have to spend my money on a ludwig drum set to play jazz, while Billy Cobham can use a TAMA one???

[piratebg]

seems like they are having more fun than the audience

[RobertCorbett]

awesome.

[GoldGamesBrazil]

He is the Pioner of the "Double Pedal"

[Burgerphile]

He is coming in Greece on November 18th!

On my brothers birthday! It's 99.99% sure that we are going! YES!!!!!!

[MyLmiller]

@Soler1441931 - Agreed... solid!  Gman

[MyLmiller]

@TMAT09 - If you are simply listening to the sound of the drums, try an elevator or smooth jazz... they usually have easy to follow music that 'sounds good' to many. Your comments inspire me to ask... What 'young drummers' (or older ones for that matter) of today do you recommend that 1) come close to Billy's playing, writing/arranging, and leadership?, and 2) are not themselves inspired by Billy's incredible talent? Gman

[Aretumis]

love cobhams style

[MetroidMark]

WOWWWWW OWOWOWO HERBIE HANCOCK AND BILLY COBHAM 2 LEGENDS 

[Drummingwizkid]

The intensity in Billys face and Herbie...damn..That made this video shine ten fold.

[huguetyann1]

i'll remenber you for the rest of my life

[mrtitanium85]

Billy Cobham: The King of the Paradiddle

[ShoummoRubaiyat]

@TMAT09 your Joey Jordison would pee in his pants after watching him live.

[sheracad]

Amazing!

[willforty2]

search: Amorphic drum .....( 1st video result ).

what technique is this??

[atguitar1990]

@TMAT09 All drum solos are pretty much just a tangent, even written ones. There's no other way to solo on drums. Point invalid.

[gbengaaaa]

beautiful drummer in motion

[fenderjb2112]

Dear Jesus. Now that is a drum solo.

[mewrth]

I'm a drummer and I've seen many drummers soloing, but Billy Cobham is the only one that always scares the piss out of me. Right footed and left handed. The perfect combination.

[Thomasgipsy]

@TMAT09 I think you would like Joey Jordison,check him out

[TheChiFlows]

@Thomasgipsy ---Joey Jordison ,not even in the League or same ball park as cobham .Whats wrong with you .

[forbinmockingbird88]

@TMAT09 just because you don't understand it doesn't mean it's random

[afxmnstr]

I can't hate on this mans technical proficiency ... so theres only one thing for me to make fun of..... the size of his kick drum.

[TranzducerK]

And in leather pants, nonetheless!! Praise that man!!

[utahdrumtech]

Jazz Improv is the most creative type of music...

[fishslappr]

watch max roach's mr hihat, theyre sharing clothes? now thats funky in more sense than one

[drummerforreal1]

Badass fire technique and composition to the max. Suck on it metal tards.

[Synthetrix]

Yeah! Go Billy!



[skaterat121]

look how sweaty those pants are

[finnbarr1234]

how could 7 people not like this O.o???

[RitualeSatanas]

Massive performance!

[downjones72]

Billy is The Truth

[Bentoss612]

@shemhamforashx4 tony williams!

[Quitarias]

@shemhamforashx4

Dave Weckl. Maybe not as intense in his solos but deffinetly grooving.

[rgvhen]

@shemhamforashx4 Check out Buddy Rich and Joe Morello

[MyLmiller]

@rgvhen - Just catchin-up on the comments here... Buddy was in the audience closing night at the Roxy in 1984 to see Billy perform with the Cobham-Duke-Scolfield-Johnson tour. I also had the pleasure of seeing Buddy perform at Local 47 in Hollywood when I was 12 year sold and many times thereafter. Buddy remains a legend... a legend that also truly respected, appreciated and enjoyed Billy, another legend. I saw this exchange of mutual respect first hand... Gman

[sick898]

@shemhamforashx4 buddy rich, speedy jones :)

[kakaomen4o]

Probably it's me but I think there is something really wrong with jazz. I don't seem to find any rhythm.

[dressedtosmellgood]

@kakaomen4o its you. but this a pretty boring solo

[Tuxedo360]

@shemhamforashx4

Dennis Chambers

[Xanczor]

ALL HIS NOTES ARE SO CLEAN!!! OMG

[GaryNull]

Corn on the Cobham

[Zammy1794]

he's the best drummer EVER

[Zammy1794]

[davelewitt]

Billy wrote the book on fusion drumming-

he is one of the all time greats!!!

check out this solo by the author of

"The Book of Funk- grooves for snare, bass and hi hat"

search:'"Drum Solo in 3 Movements"

[vxv543]

oh my sweet lord.

[lastdaysguitar]

Billy Cobham was one of the most fluid drummers who ever lived.  RIP Billy!

[Langknhj]

@lastdaysguitar He's not dead.

[lastdaysguitar]

@Langknhj Really? Wow, if so I've really got my wires crossed... I thought he died a few years ago...

[Zackary1005]

@lastdaysguitar Ha ha :P

[FunkyFenus]

what great sound they got from the drums...love it on headphones

[tubingtheworld]

i love the drums but this solo sounds boring.

[jazzbummer]

Billy Cobham is a train, either you get on board or you will get run over.

[Rajhoul]

Too bad the actual Herbie Hancock Trio DVD was made was such quality

[smalloryjr]

1:44 - 1:47

[Bartolucci711]

Complete and utter badass!

[gringochucha]

Puta que fui weón en no ir a ver a este weón...

[gangandro]

yeaaanhhh

[sohaib785]

wow! amazing!!!

[1991ant1991]

"joey jordison is the best drummer of all time" .... yeah right.... after watching this that statement is a joke. This is drumming!

[foutupourfoutu]

All of this incredible playing in LEATHER PANTS ladies and gentlemen
