#21 TAURIAN MATADOR by BILLY COBHAM - Drum Rendition

Details

Description

After drum videos dedicated exclusively to what I have done and I currently do with various bands, the time has come to pay tribute to those who helped me be the drummer I am today, stealing with my ears (pre-Internet era) and in some cases with my eyes.

Billy Cobham has been the reason for starting drumming and making music. The memories are a bit blurred, however I know for sure that this album was in heavy-rotation at my parents' house. There is a photo inside Spectrum's gatefold that... God I've looked at it for years and years, as if it were a sacred image: a transparent resin drums by Fibes that was used by Billy at the time. And you know what? My drums is not only transparent but it is called 'Tamburo Spectrum'. It can't be a casuality, right?. There is on Youtube a video of another Cobham song I made (taken from Total Eclipse) but this time I wanted to play something from the very first record I've ever listened to in my life.

These performances are deliberately recorded in one or two takes without any kind of editing.
Thanks to Aramini Strumenti Musicali for Vic Firth sticks and Paiste cymbals.
