Great Billy Cobham Lick from 1984!

A fellow KZbinr turned me on to this lick from a song called "Radio Activity" off of John McLaughlin's 1984 album called...oddly enough...Mahavishnu. :) I was asked to break it down and explain it. After I heard the lick, I simply HAD to figure it out! It's such a great musical statement packed into 2 bars. I hope you get something out of it. I sure did!
Here's the transcription:

Hello! Thanks soooo much for this great video....fantastic! You made it! Great job indeed! Sorry for my nick, i put it long time ago when i used social rarely. I'll get to change it sometime :) Well... so you asked for... and I could not find any work on it... there is another...another John's tune and it is Marbles from Devotion, drummer Buddy Miles... I've always questioned myself if that was echo or the drummer doing it.... you can surely tell us! Thanks!
