[/quote] I loved the combination of Cobham and Rick Laird in that first Mahavishnu Orchestra. I've never played with a group let alone drummer but solid as a rock Laird seemed to me to be a perfect foil for Cobham's style of playing. Quote
bassmasterwraith Posted September 18, 2014 Posted September 18, 2014 Stratus is just amazing. My jazz band covered it on YouTube Quote
Jakester Posted September 18, 2014 Posted September 18, 2014 Saw Billy at Cheltenham Jazz Festival this year - he's one of my favourite players (I'm primarily a drummer) and he hasn't lost an ounce of groove! Quote

BetaFunk Posted September 19, 2014 Posted September 19, 2014 How cool is Rick Laird in this classic Mahavishnu Orchestra clip? http://youtu.be/LcQKjffxIOY Quote
Colonel36 Posted September 21, 2014 Posted September 21, 2014 At around '74 I wanted some sticks to give me more power and I bought Billy Cobham's signature sticks that you needed wrists of iron to use. I broke 2 pairs and still have this pair that I haven't used for years. Great sticks.
