One of the absolute best drummers to hit the stage. He really makes the end of Miles Beyond with that wild crescendo.

I jam with a drummer who won one of Cobham’s sets (I think it was one he used on tour in the 90s, nothing landmark) with an autographed bass drum. Luckily he’s not one of those killjoy collectors who would just let the kit gather dust and it gets regularly played.

A late friend of mine was in Central Park when Between Nothingness and Eternity was recorded. It was a ridiculously hot and humid NYC night and he said that Cobham's roadie would come out every 5 minutes or so and dump a bucket of water over his head to cool him off.
