Cozy Powell’s Drum Kit 2011
June 28, 2011
This is one of Cozy’s drum kits that sits in the studio at Tony Iommi’s house. The picture was taken on June 28th, 2011.
This is the same drum kit that was used when Vinny Appice had to record the three new tracks for the 2006 compilation, “Black Sabbath: The Dio Years”. It was done rather in a hurry, which is why Vinny used Cozy’s kit here as opposed to his own equipment.

Hey Joel,
Good to see that you still have the site, and with the advent of this new film/documentary on Cozy maybe you will get alot more people visiting the site. By the way can you post or add Cozy’s various drum kit/cymbal set up’s?
They vary from Jeff Beck/Hammer to Rainbow/MSG/Whitesnake to Sabbath, ELP, Brian May, and even Peter Green, etc..all various sizes, makes and especially cymbal set ups.That would be cool!!
Cheers Joel.
Luck with the site, as always

I saw him at the Birmingham Odeon with Whitesnake and he thundered his way through the finale of the 1812 overture. You just won’t see that again.
I saw Cozy with Rainbow at the Baltimore Civic Center on the “Down To Earth” tour in 1979. Rainbow was the support band for Blue Oyster Cult, but I was there to see Rainbow. Rainbow was great and Cozy didn’t disappoint hammering away on his kit. Cozy was THE MAN.
What a man – such a simple set up – no BS for BS 🙂 Love him…
I saw cozy play at wilbarston village hall community centre near market harborough with peter green who was staging a comeback.we were amazed to see cozy at such a small gig.I believe the keyboard player was from another famous band possibly white snake but am not sure.cozy was brilliant as usual.beat that folks.
I have a Paiste 22″ Rude crash cymbal owned and used by Cozy. It was auctioned off by his estate shortly after his passing.
Looking to sell here’s a link with the image and details: http://autographsale.net/cozy-powell-used-cymbal-from-estate-2
Здравствуйте! Cozy Powell was born in Cirencester , Gloucestershire and was adopted. He never met his birth parents.
RAK rocked the UK many decades ago with an amazing live concert tour which included Suzi Quatro, ACE and the awesome Cozy Powell.
It was an amazing event held at the Glasgow Apollo, and still fondly remembered!
