Billy Cobham, the renowned Panamian-American jazz drummer, joined t5m after leading a percussion workshop. What he tries to teach his students is that “music is a sonic reflection of your personality,” one of the best lines of the day, and a priceless nugget of musical wisdom. Cobham is well known for his time playing with artists such as Miles Davis and Carlos Santana and believes that having a good personal relationship with the rest of the band is the key to living a musical life that will be both “wholesome and fruitful.”
