George Duke with Billy Cobham - Rush Hour

[Harald136]

Billy certainly needs bigger eyebrows to not have that swet in his eyes so he won't miss the hihat on 4:57 but yeah, try to beat that kind of drumming.

[samworskett]

@Harald136 no he's hitting the piccolo the the left...he has no faults haha

[Harald136]

@samworskett check again from 4:55

[samworskett]

@Harald136 Yes I did, if you look very carefully you can see he hits the other snare to his left, you can also hear it at precisely the right time he hits it.

[bryantm3]

who does the studio version of this song and where can i find it? i swear i've heard it somewhere!

[flytetyme1000]

bryantm, hi you can find it on GD's after hours album.

[massatrioutomo]

..Billy Cobham "The Master Drummer".........

[justuspercussion]

best living drummer ever!

[GregMagDrums]

Hello Hello Hello,

What does a young, up and coming drummer, have to do to get on the map?

Click on the link below, This is an Original Tune & Groove.

[solomonsworld]

Worlds greatest drummer. Hands down

[solomonsworld]

to the two comments below he put his stick on the floor tom and asked for the bass or guitar to be turned up

[gordypix]

Could watch and listen to this all day! Awesome!

[sass1a]

Good musician is so right !!!!

[enonmusician]

Is that Bill Cosby on drums?Lol! He's a Munstah!!!!!!!!!!

[pcsuper1]

What on earth is Billy Cobham doing at 2:24 ? How can he even make his hand free?

[zohanee]

@pcsuper1 maybe he has 3 legs... He didnt show his legs, did he?

[heubler1]

@pcsuper1 Double stroking with the other hand. Mere mortals cannot do this. Do not attempt, unless you're willing to endure the pain.

[greenbulk]

@pcsuper1 Billy broke a drumstick and he's signaling for a new stick...

[TheRealFourteenk]

Amazing is an understatement

[zebo1er]

man fuckin lolz at 1:27!! and who in the hell is the '86 raiders linebacker killin that 5 string. hes the shit!!

[zebo1er]

@zebo1er oh its Larry Kimple duh



[groovedoc]

this is fucking good!! 11/10 stars !!

why can´t i listen such music in 99% of all pubs, clubs, radiostations? :-(

[flatsannikka]

adupoli..

[boomieg]

Billy Cobham is probably the BEST drummer for this song... in my opinion.

[Psycho9263]

The World's Best Drummer!

[zildj1an]

Would love to hear the great Travis Barker play this piece. Hehehe! Then again, NO, I wouldn't!

[HelmutZappa]

My alltime Heroes!

[CaptainQuark9]

I'd love to see John Petrucci and Mike Portnoy added to this mix!

[85Ikin]

The drumline starting at 1:55 sounds like a group of percussionists playing...that feeling is unique...even more at 4:22...its beyond musicality - it's pure genius!!! 

[MARDIUNO]

BILLY COBHAM , THERE ARE MANY DRUMMERS HERE AND THERE , LOTS OF TECHNIQUES , FAST AS HELL , ETC , VINNIES , PAULS , DAVES ...NOBODY , NONE OF THEM CAN COMPARE , EVEN IF THEY WOULD LIVE TWO LIFES !! WITH MASTER OF THEM ALL , BILLY ...

[PragueFanity]

@MARDIUNO Not a competition. Add Trilok Gurtu to the list of original, one of a kind players

[whotaughtyou]

SIEMENS 24 02086436515

THEN YOU GAVE THEM MY PHONE NUMBER

[MegaASHENAFI]

@whotaughtyou You are entitled to your opinion, Igefinitely - give all due props to my Brother, Mr Cobham.

But PLEASE! Do not ever so casually discount Vinnie Colaiuta!! Nobody, plays like Vinnie! They can't ever hear - what he plays!

[ettiene87]

Fusion drumming like no one!! My favourite drummer since early 70's!!

[whity72]

We fans love and admire these explosion like 1:18ff and 4:40ff . To keep the snare fluent and build an underlay is easy with some practice, but Boomer´s speed is stunning and entertaining the same time - what a drum genius! Who cares about those chief-borers like Lang, Barker & Co?

[whity72]

"Dad! There are 18 people who don´t like this masterpiece of driving drums and music!" "Wait, Ill get my pumpgun..."

[Rodrigodruns]

Billy Cobham playing samba !!!!! Wow

Viva Brazil !!!!!

World Cup in 2014

Rio 2016 Olympics !!!!!!

And soon. NATION'S LARGEST EVANGELICAL WORLD !!!!!

[rayzalewski]

heavy.

[Gretschdrums75]

He still plays the fusion thing better than anyone. His toms sound amazing as always. It just goes to show that a great musician carries his signature tone with him no matter what brand he plays.

[valhan364]

2:48 the mic drops!  Haha some hard players right there.

[oMarginall]

5:23 The Samba influencing Billy.

cool...

[elovesmika]

Time Signature is 10/8...... Great sensitivity on everyone`s part...  Love the crescendo`s and decrescendo`s.....tight.... I`ll get back to you on the bass player.... Peace

[ConCarneBlues]

Guys, whos the bassist?

[Psycho9263]

Billy Cobham The World's Best

[Malucosanguebom]

Porcodue!!!! Billy the beast!

[jamo747]

Billy Cobham, Fucking Beast

[my88ts]

I saw Billy Cobham in Ohio back in the 80's .I was in awwh ! .. I've never seen or heard anyone play drums like that or have I ever since... Billy is the MAN !!!!!

[fnkdrmmr]

See more on Billy Cobham on SoulDrummers . com.

[henniebogan1]

what time signature is this song in?

[prinznevsky]

@henniebogan1 The main groove is in 5/4. A sort of a "slip-samba" ala "Take 5" "slip-jazz waltz"

[henniebogan1]

holy jesus

[TheTommyb42]

Single strokes never sounded so good!

[bygota]

wow....speechless

[elAficionado66]

Sir Geroge Duke and Sir Billy Cobham

In my next live I gonna be a drummer

[Brendo613]

Did you crack a big, goofy smile at 6:11 OR WHAT?!

[XDrummerSteve]

I had forgotten how great Billy is. I just think his drum to cymbal ratio is way off...ha ha. Great player.

[zenbooter]

take a listen to Art Blakey & THE JAZZ MESSENGERS- LP/CD -"A NIGHT IN TUNISIA" ....

[daunoacento]

the bass player is awesome... too bad i can't understand jazz music, even if i see they are great musicians...

[MrKMdrummer]

Awesome Billy is the man

[MrKMdrummer]

Awesome Billy is the man

[nakkiuros]

1:27 billy is takin' it brutal

[groovedoc]

fucking great!!!

[ebfranz]

I could totally kick this guys ass

[clyde8her]

Billy uses HUGE sticks, huh? The man is the best....He and Mike Portnoy of LTE are hard to watch and ever aspire to be anything but a hack on drums...

[blackandtanful]

ビリー・コブハムのドラム･セッティング､化物の一人だった!

[AetiologyBand]

I came for Billy Cobham but all of these musicians are extraordinary!

Press 2 for the craziest / happiest stare you will see today.

[AetiologyBand]

@roomend those are not people but demons! Slash them with your shining sword of justice!

[Derfunkmeister]

Why is this not available on Blu-ray or dvd?? I would love to have this in my collection. Amazing.

[ranXerox09]

GOD!!! I saw this video thousands of times.. and I never get tired of it!

[Smartdrive100]

IN FUCKIN'  CREDIBLE!!!!

[brainspecialists]

[fnkdrmmr]

Impressive! Billy Cobham is waking up drummers...

[donwhitey]

Mothers!

[skier123453]

@Rickoholic

Larry Kimpel is on bass...seriously funky player

[loobycliff]

@Rickoholic Yeah, who is the bassist?

[TheRaiderfan56]

@Rickoholic The bass player is Larry Kimpel. Much sought after studio sideman, Currently hes playing with Maze featuring Frankie Beverly taking the place of Robin Duhe.

[Psycho9263]

@Rickoholic I think it is Larry Kempel and it sounds like he is playing in 10/8 time.

[funkyleo1973]

@Rickoholic Hi mate. I think the bass player is Larry Kimple. He played on the Sevile Expo 92 Guitar show that George was the MD on. There's a great version of Valdez in the Country with him and Dennis Chambers backing George Benson. Hope thats helpful.

[drumafication]

@Rickoholic The Bass Player is Larry Kimpel a smoking bass player..

[jeroenlutgerink1]

@Rickoholic

The bassplayer is Larry Kimpel!

[rowzman]

@Rickoholic i think its mr T....

but don't quote me on that lol

[MrMaceinyoface]

@Rickoholic Larry Kimpel is the bass players name.

[4959jtl]

@Rickoholic show you're right!!!!!

[MrHannibal31]

@Rickoholic The bass player is Larry Kimpel.

[ddrums001]

Billy Cobham is STILL the MAN!! In his 60's and his monstrous single stroke rolls cannot be beaten! Billy will always be my all time favorite!

[mikenelli57]

@ddrums001 Check out "Stratus" by Cobham.....He is the best I've heard!

[ruben1956]

@ddrums001 Right, I think he has a really unique technique - and style!

[nastyhedgehog]

Quite possibly the best clip on You Tube.

[MrTheLighter]

sorry for my ignorance but who's on bass?

[MrQbanD]

Fucking Pro...men........

[dreadtodred]

these cats kick ass!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­

[MrAnymajordude]

@xRisingForcex Well, after all, maybe not. The world keeps changing and so do art and music.

[rossawe]

This transcends colour, creed, like or dislike, it is about admiration of musicians who are performing at the absolute pinnacle of their craft. Mozart or Led Zep might not be everybodies cup of tea, but they represented a level of performance and originality which those who followed merely imitated...Which of course is the sincerest form of flattery.

[JEFFSification]

Why does this always have to be - Oh they're better than so and so or "see blacks are worthy after all" This shit is sick and is the imalgamation (?) of decade upon decade of love and devotion to one's craft. These musical masters are without question channeling the inherent perfection of the human spirit. period.

[zenbooter]

@JEFFSification if you cant dig this you aint even dead, you just aint

[zenbooter]

@JEFFSification find this LP":One Night Stand", Taped at Carnegie Hall way back, honoring Piano masters.The tune- "When Johnny Comes Marching Home",,George Duke, Charles Erland, Buddy Miles.

[miksajlo007]

@JEFFSification totaly true

[teddingtontcu]

Carlos Santana and Eric Clapton sit up and listen.

You have been out of ideas for years...............just mewling.

GD and BC Solid Gold



[MrAnymajordude]

Awesome. We still got Miles of fusion to explore:)

[xRisingForcex]

@MrAnymajordude not really

[LordSchnarch]

Mann, was für eine Spielfreude... immernoch

[zkxv]

Thank God for black musicians. They invented jazz, reggae, blues, soul, funk, and pioneered rock and roll. It would be a VERY boring world without them.

[paulao2009]

outstanding drummer



[RobotChampionSC]

@paulao2009 He's my favorite since the Montreux Summit album

[trendyjon]

I wish i was black.

[djdjany]

[clearlyme2u]

[trendyjon]

@AlleymanLA And there lovin every second of it.

[f1zzypop]

I already listen George Duke's band live and I fell in love with them. They are so energetic on stage!. At the end of the presentation I ended with teary eyes because of the emotion.

They have all my respect. Really.

[teddingtontcu]

70#s mahavishnu and thinking funk, yes baby 30 years on

[ikeaboy100]

[surfguideperu]

JUST GREAT...... two very talented musicians giving us theis best....and HAVING FUN.......can´t beat that one !!!!

[jarbon5]

This song is so amazing, one of my favorites from the After Hours CD. Now, I like those cool, laid back, slow, balladry type song, so for me to favor this song is saying somehing (well, to me anyways). But, that drummer, I can clearly say that I've never seen a better drummer, nor have I seen a drummer that has grabbed my attention like he has. Truly, he's an amazing drummer, and watching him is the best thing about this video:)

[goo710]

Ever since I discovered the great artistry and performance Billy Cobham brings to the drums, his videos and compilation with George Duke are superior to the genre which hence, Free Jazz, is played. This is among one of the best performances I've seen through-out the years. Billy Cobham is my idol.

[AllStarBugler]

Billy drops a stick at 2:22 and never misses a beat.....

[Greenaresy]

@AllStarBugler, He´s signaling to the soundman responsible for his monitor mix.

[bigfreak58]

This is one tight set Billy had to be one of the best alive on the drums George was allways great either jazz funk or fusion old school rocks...................

[2youonly]

Simpel the best!!

1000 stars!!!!!!!!!!!

[pistolCrockett]

I was drooling while watching this video...Its off the hook (amazing)....Thanks for posting it....

[Brotherrhaan]

There's something magical about dat Fender Rhodes piano.

[LvnAction]

.Larry Kimpel does not turn the groove/displace the beat in any way at 2:54. The bass figure stays the same. Please listen, listen, listen!! Cobham plays an asymmetrical fill leading up to 2:54 and the groove goes on; no change.

[LvnAction]

The figure stays the same. The bass player does not turn the groove/displace the beat in any way at 2:54. Please listen, listen, listen!! Cobham plays an asymmetrical fill just prior and the beat goes on; no change.

[clyde8her]

@LvnAction We heard you the first time...drivle.

[SupernalOne]

Drumline, get back!

[flutingaround]

this drummer is amazing...how does he make it look so natural? It looks like this guy is barely breaking a sweat!

[drumiel]

Cool. I love Billy's wide-eyed look at 1:28. He is having such a great time. The fusion master is truly at work. Thanks for this!



[ranXerox09]

I can't stop seeing this video..
