If you call yourself a drummer and don't listen to drummers like buddy rich, elvin jones, max roach, neil pert, carl palmer, terry bozzio and especially billy cobham you ain't got style. hah. to make a long story short, i tend to always talk to older musicians or music listeners because i was born in the late 80's so i was never around those days and i'm always intersted in listening to stories about music experiences and syles in past years, but anyways my old neighbor and i would sit down and listen to cds and just chill, order food and smoke. we would sit there listening to mahavishnu orchestra, emerson lake & palmer, king crimson, pink floyd and even madonna haha, one day we got into a pretty intense argument about which drummer in our opinion drummed his ass of in the 70's. we both ended eliminating artist by different qualities and quotas for fun and we came down to billy cobham being one of the best 70's drummers, hitting skins with mahavishnu and he's very jazzy and fun Solo Project. i feel like i'm giving away to much free stuff but hey he doesn't really need anymore money his time is long gone and recommending good old bands you would've never heard of if it wasn't for this blog post is pretty cool and also this album is just plain brillance, one of my favorites. i had to ask around just to get this album because i lost all my music on my pc and only had a burn disc to rip for download, but anyways for all you drummers out there this album is for jehu, you'll love his jazz drumming techniques. expect fast rolls, quick cymbal hits, weird ambience, guitar solos, drum solos, piano solos and i'm just talking about 'Stratus', the song massive attack sampled on blue lines called 'safe from harm'. i hope you'll enjoy this great quality copy i found. it's the remastered one =)Downlad Billy Cobham- Spectrum from Mediafire
