Born in Swindon, England on July 9th 1934, Colin Bailey began playing drums at age four. He also studied piano and theory at an early age, and worked with English name bands from age eighteen. Colin lived in Australia in the late fifties and was staff drummer at T.V. Channel 9 in Sydney. At that time he accompanied distinguished visiting jazz artists such as Dizzy Gillespie and Sarah Vaughan. In 1960, Colin met the biggest influence in his life as a drummer. Joe Morello came to Australia on a tour with the Dave Brubeck Quartet. Colin was in the group that was opening for Brubeck. He says, "I had heard Joe play on a record. I knew he had tremendous chops, but when I saw and heard him play in person, I just had to have that technique. For two weeks, as soon as Joe woke up every day, there I was with the practice pad. He was so gracious, showing me the George Lawrence Stone finger control technique. It changed my life. I put in many hours every day trying to get it down, (I am still practicing mastering it!) and it made a big difference in my playing. I had a lot more control with volume, and could play quietly with intensity, something that is tough for a lot of drummers. Joe and I have been the best of friends ever since."
Colin has toured extensively in the U.S.A., Japan, Europe, South America and Canada, with Benny Goodman, George Shearing, Richie Cole, Vic Damone, Ernestine Anderson, Al Hirt, Doc Severinsen, Carol Sloane, Susannah McCorkle and Joe Pass.

What ride cymbal is he using?
He could play in a room with a sleeping baby. Killer dynamics. And I like the phrasing.
"K's" for bop. Nothing else.
the Ride Sounds crappy...
kellox steht im wald it's supposed to sound dry and articulate.
kellox steht im wald Which one? There’s three. You’re probably used to the metal bangers I’m guessing.
This is art.
The cymbal is all wrong for you.
Since this guy is a legend, I’m keeping an open mind. Personally, I’m asking about the sound, in the context and style of which he plays. I think it sounds perfect: nice dry stick sound...
I have six ride cymbals, I wouldn’t bring this one to a metal gig.
