8. The original drummer in Dreams was Billy Cobham.

Very good ... Rudy_Ment + Dazzler got #10 right, Tombo got #9, and Groovissimo correctly answered #s 2,3,5,6,9 +10!

That leaves:

1. Name the recording with Billy Cobham that featured 2 future Weather Reporters plus a guitarist ... pre-Weather Report!

4. Name 2 drumset brands that Jack DeJohnette has played.

7. Who said (at a Hollywood drum competition): "So many drummers ... so little time." ?

8. Which New York and Hollywood "studio" drummers played with the Brecker Brothers +/or "Dreams" bands? (not counting Harvey Mason, Chris Parker or Steve Gadd...)
(I meant to include NOT counting Billy Cobham, as he is so prominently featured on both of the "Dreams" albums, but mja61 is correct ... still looking for 2 other names of prominent studio drummers who worked with these bands for a short time ... not counting Terry Bozzio or Dennis Chambers, either!)

(HINT for #1 ... the album is not under Cobham's name)

Cheers,

1. Name the recording with Billy Cobham that featured 2 future Weather Reporters plus a guitarist ... pre-Weather Report!

Bitches Brew, baby!

4. Name 2 drumset brands that Jack DeJohnette has played.

Sonor (duh), Gretsch?

My best guess...
-Tom

Tom is absolutely correct with "Bitches Brew, baby!"

... although, to be honest, I was thinking of the album "Purple" under Miroslav Vitous's name, with Joe Zawinul and John McGlaughlin.

The other drumset Jack played (with Miles) was the Italian-made Hollywood/Meazzi brand; Max Roach endorsed them for a short while ... I bought one of their (foot-pedal) tunable floor toms when I was in high school (circa 1970).
