For all of you “gospel choppers” – BILLY COBHAM was probably the guy who influenced the guy who influenced the guy you were influenced by. Yes indeed! That is how influential Billy Cobham is.

A friend on Facebook asked today..who is the greatest living drummer. I said Vinnie Colauita. Vinnie can do everything…VERY well. I would probably include Billy as my close second.
