Legendary drummer Billy Cobham is opening his musical world up in a first-of-its-kind exclusive Masterclass series. In a series of 3 three-hour classes, Cobham and a group of hand-picked guests including Dennis Chambers, Gary Husband, Will Calhoun and Dom Famularo will teach the art of playing “simply but effectively.” Cobham and his guests will explore how to be the pulse, creating a foundation to support your fellow musicians while injecting your musical history and unique voice into your performance.
These masterclasses will include a Q&A session, giving participants a chance to personally interact with some of the greatest drummers in the world.
Each class includes a download of a Billy Cobham original composition, drumless play-along, and PDF transcription.
Widely acknowledged as the greatest fusion drummer of all time, Cobham came to prominence in the late ’60s and early ’70s playing on seminal recordings by Miles Davis and then the Mahavishnu Orchestra. A prolific band leader with more than 30 albums under his name, Cobham’s influence stretches well beyond the world of jazz. Billy Cobham’s Guide To Stress Free Drumming is the culmination of his life’s work.
The next workshop will take place on Sunday, November 28th and is titled “Working In Odd Time Signatures”.
The online workshop will take place thanks to Stages Music Arts – Baltimore’s first music school and recording studio that also offers full production and event support.
