Actually, I read in a modern drummer interview that he is actually right handed, he just worked hard to be able to lead either way.

Circus music.

drummers who play like this have an advantage that their both hands will develop at the same time so the strength of his hands is equal and they sound so much better as well

Definately a lefty playing a right handed kit. Nothing wrong with that and no need to argue semantics. Hey, Billy's more ambidexterous than most but he leads his left hand when he's playing those badass patterns.

it's called 'open handed' ...and all these guys mentioned are right handed players. But they play open handed, meaning, they lead with the left on a right handed kit.
Cobham just chooses to put his toms in any random order.

Simon Phillips has hi-hats on both sides. He plays open handed. So does Billy Cobham. So does Lenny White. They are all so good that they can play either left handed or right handed. They are ambidextrous.



He's not playing left-handed! Many of the best drummers prefer not to "cross over " with their hands when playing!They say it is easier and besides they are so good they really are ambidextrous and could play left or right and switch back and forth! To name a few Lenny White,Simon Phillips,Bobby Jarzombekand of course Billy Cobham! Left handed would have the toms going in the other direction and the hi-hat on the other side! Like Phil Collins!
