Cozy Powell

As usual, flicking around for something to watch, now don't snigger....on the Performance channel, were that 4 bint classical mob 'Bond' giving it a bit of welly. Now, before long, they launch into their oh-so-grand version of the 1812 overture. Hang on, says I, Cozy, belss 'im, was famous for that, so I search t'internet to find a version of Cozy Powell doing the 1812 overture on the drum kit. I was lucky enough to see him do this live with whitesnake, and it was a joy to behold.

Here's a 1977 version from his own website

Wow! Thanks for that...every spotty kid going into a music store would try and murder 'Dance With The Devil', much to the annoyance of the staff!
I remember following ELP at the time and wondering how Cozy Powell got so much power out of his kit, until I saw his sticks one time. I used to copy Carl Palmer and use nylon-tipped hickory D's whilst Powell used what appeared to be broom handles whittled down with a machete - I wondered no more...
