Wearing a light colored suit, Gillespie sits leaning forward, forearms leaning on the two drums in front of him, and speaks into the microphone in front of him. He wears a wrist watch on his left wrist and a large pendant on a chain around his neck. Although he faces forward, his eyes glance obliquely to the viewer's right.
