A Billy Cobham Solo in dress shoes, leather pants and a tie - WOW!

How the hell is Cobham so good? It's one thing to be able to cut loose in comfortable clothes (such is the reason rock drummers wear shorts, no shirts, or - in the case of Phish's Jon Fishman - a frock) but to be able to bullet through this groove in this outfit is staggering. It doesn't hurt that there's some Herbie Hancock surrounding the solo. Every clip I watch of this guy blows me away. I could groove out to him and Victor Wooten for days... what a tour that would be!
