Lucky you. Billy Cobham was fantastic. I didn’t care much for his ego but Gene Krupa and of course Buddy Rich. Bobby Troup, the actor was a drummer too.

I came to the drums a bit late after first trying to conquer the coronet. Oh my God was that horrendous!

Michael Shrieve was another favorite of mine. Only 19 years old at Woodstock with Santana. I’ve been to many concerts, have seen a lot of great drummers. Elvin Jones, Bill Bruford, Carl Palmer, and many more.
