This is a very important piece of film as it captures BJ's technique perfectly.

Ah not it is not me. Thank you. I too play the drums and my snare is at my hip area. I also play using traditional grip and I find it weird that Wilson has the snare up high. Like you said, it does work for him.

yeah it looks like all the drums are practically at chest height which is absolutely absurd to me; when i drum i have to set everything extremely low obviously seems to have worked for him though

Impossible cowbell ! Calling this just a drum solo is an insult.

Is it me or are the drums seem taller than the normal height? Compared to other drums, it seems to be set up much higher than the others.

I had the great luck to spend a while together with Joe Cocker & Band back in 1983 as a drummer of the support band touring through Europe. BJ and me became friends very fast. I must say he was an exeptional drummer and an exeptional personality. We spoke a lot about music and drumming. He was one of those guys I met in my life I will never forget. R.I.P BeeJay

As low the drummer sits,as high is the quality he performs. Excellent! Energetic, but sophisticated. Guess he is the guinness-recorder of the lowest sitting drummer category.

Instead of just standing there, the guitarists could have been off getting a massage or a mani/pedi during that drum solo... ala Nigel Tufnel and friends, eh wot?
