Kilson's acclaim as one of the 'top drummers deserving wider recognition' in Down Beat magazine's 2000 Critics Poll grew from his sideman touring and recording projects. About.com succinctly described Kilson as 'one of the very best drummers alive.' Down Beat referred to him as 'an unholy blend of Jimmy Cobb and Billy Cobham.' A review of Dave Holland's 'Point of View' by Jazz Times said 'But the secret weapon here is drummer Billy Kilson who elevates the proceedings with an uncanny combination of precision, power and grace.'
Kilson's versatility is exhibited on his many sidemen projects as he exhibits his varied styles of playing with diverse artists such Bob James, Dave Holland, Tim Hagans and Bob Belden and many others.
