[paisteguy799]

fucking drum jedi

[Guitardundee]

Song name is called Raju... what a damn freaking song! there you the skill of all perfomers

[paisteguy799]

@Guitardundee no...its new bruise old blues or w/e

[jonescrusher1]

Looks like he's playing Yammies here

[spacitydrummer4JC]

Tony Williams, Dave Weckl, Steve Smith, Buddy Rich > Vinnie Colaiuta

[Rodgebi]

@spacitydrummer4JC With respect for those great drummers, no need to put the name of Smith and Weckl... Vinnie comes from Tony, Buddy, Gadd and other player like Harvey Mason, Zigaboo, Mike Clarck, etc... But he has his own voice, he's so unique, right on.

[BeatProfessor]

@spacitydrummer4JC You must have suffered some head trauma. ALL musicians learn and grow from each other and their predecessors. There is nobody better for there is only the musician and the music in that moment in time.

[Fiverrdrums]

Had the pleasure of meeting His Greatness in my small town of Greenville, SC last week after playing with Herb. Ace drummer AND an ace guy! I shook his command hand.... 3 TIMES!!!

[Percussionfish]

Excelente!

[331paradiddle]

super star band. i wish I would have seen this live

[kvedvaldas]

I'm so sad, that I did't know them in 2008

[Timbalero561]

Threre's nothing that this guy can't play!

[cpdrumming]

Vinnie's pushing 60! I mean really...he's playing like he's 20!

[stretch54]

@cpdrumming Vinnie is only 52 on this video LOL... but he is definately still a 'jaw dropping' drummer. I don't think he played like this at 20.

What a ride it has been watching him the past 30 years!

[generatrix999]

Wow, playing a rented Yamaha Recording Custom toms, he looks and sounds inspired

[gazsi84]

ez bitang jó! (oh yeah)

[drumz47]

Vinnie plays the vapers of each not. Damn

[TheJohngallos]

thanks for postin it

[gildigol]

@leandrodecarledias I think you mean - guy , not gay...

[leandrodecarledias]

@leandrodecarledias ops. guy not gay...sorry my mistake

[lygren]

go vinnie!!

[marcelbas]

I also went to see (and hear) this band on the same tour, in November 2009 in The Hague!

We want more! Hopefully they will make another album together.

[Roea86]

what size is that snare? amazing.

[groovemerchant19]

How is it that he plays all that stuff but it never sounds like it gets in the way of the music ? Did he receive some hyper -creative DNA at birth that the rest of us didn't ?

Have mercy. Thanks for posting this tasty nugget.

[givinitsome]

@groovemerchant19

I think the thing most of us drummers don't get about Vinnie is that's he's a musician, he listens. That's why he doesn't get in the way of the music, he's in harmony with it.

It's not just about technique with him. For us mere mortals, we struggle so much to get to grips with tech and coordination stuff that we can forget about music.

Btw it's "5 PIECE" not 5 peace. Why would you want peace (& quiet?) with these guys! :P

[ilikehockey13]

@givinitsome No. Actually it is "Five Peace." Its a project from Chick Corea and John Mclaughlin. They are called the 5 PEACE Band.

[Timbalero561]

Vinnie is INCREDIBLE!!!! I love this tune. It reminds me of Mahavishnu Orchestra.

[cineasticdrummer]

And he is playing Yamaha drums... I wonder if he gets fined by Gretsch?

[MaxJaeger]

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH­HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH­HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH­HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH­HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH­HHHHHHHH!!!!

God of the holy drum shells please forgive me for having a childhood of playing outside..

[Jay435]

I love that bitchy little snare!!

[TheJairo2323]

one of the most creative deummers ever!!!!!!

[DWDave67]

Always a joy to watch a guy at the top of his craft.

[RaulGuereca]

beyond chops amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[bateristaaplicado96]

cada vez que veo a vinnie me pongo triste,... es extremadamente increible lo que hace, parace que hace explotar la bateria . :@

[doubts]

Someone please inform me of how the time breaks down. Im nearly there but cant quite get it. peace

[Drumfusions]

the time didn't break down, they started to play in triplets when before it was in 16th or 8th. Cheers!

[heinzie5]

vinnie is so good im sure he must be illegal

[snorhyveln]

He´s got a diplomat immunity.. and still He´s from outer space!!

[zepgen8]

I totally agree..he is just too good, but thank god he's here..

[heinzie5]

very true :-p

[smoukondeuoter]

yeah ! I think he's an android uahuhah, he's not human ! ! !

[boobj]

Best show in `56 years,.I saw n met Blade in Miami,[ along with John] .Vinnie was already rehearsing with Beck for new tour,.

Just amazing ! To me ,.it covered all or most human emotions.[ except hate] IMHO.

[trendyjon]

Best allround drummer by far,

Love him.

[copeland1983]

Can't wait to hear the live CD!

I heard Vinnie will be on it!

[angeloamericano]

I think the musicianship and chops are tops. I don't think however the quality of the music matches the musicianship and the chops.

[bosserbee]

i went to see them with blade had no idea vinnie was his predecessor damn i need to check vinnie out live

[SpencerMA89]

got damn this band is the baddest shit ive ever heard... vinnie can tear the fuck out of those drums... sad to see him going but i cant wait to check out brian blade

[Manolian]

Saw them in concert with Brian Blade, awesome too.

[redl3ss]

SUCH A FOOOOOOOOOOOOOL

[SpencerMA89]

i wanna see ron brunner play with them too... but brian is more than capable of hanging with them hes gonna bring a whole other level of musicality to the band

[billfuddled]

Vinnie played w/Jeff Beck for a while and, yes, he can tear ip up pretty good. I'm not sure about his fit with a primarily jazz lineup, though.

I saw Five Peace a couple days ago with Blade and he was amazing (as were the rest of the band). If there's any way you can get youself to see these guys, do it! Best jazz show I've ever seem in my 54 years.

[SpencerMA89]

I'm really trying to see them when they come to Strathmore in late April I think... Did Brian play out as much as Vinnie?

[billfuddled]

No, Brian played very much within the band. That's one of the reasons I liked his fit better than Vinnie's. Very stylistic, DeJohnette-like, with a minimal kit. Bass, snare, 2 toms, 3 cymbals and a hi-hat. Strathmore looks to be sold out, hope you got tickets.

[paulo101]

I personally think Vinnie swings the group in more of a fusion direction, whereas Blade has more of a defined jazz sensibility to his playing.

I love the live CD that was brought out recently, but some of Chick's choices are a little out there for me. Any opinions on this?

[sticktrik]

What do you mean by "a little out there"??

Are you refering to the tunes, musicians,

or the perfomance.....I have the new

5 peace band cd, it's live and I think the

playing is great!!!

[Killmajoro]

Vinnie plays very well with a normal jazz group actually, I have seen him play with Herbie Hancock in some videos and he sounds GREAT!

[contrapunteado]

ufff. esa mano izquierda en 0:37-0:38!!!

[1drumdog1]

I'm going to see them tonight at UCLA. The first time I've every seen Vinnie or John live! I'm psyched!

[JonP1961]

Vinnie is all over it at 00:48...  Love the work on the ride and china to completely finish me off ;)

Wow...

[tomlensher]

WOW.... John Mac is amazing, this composition of his (New Bruise, Old Blues) or something, is in 15/8 time signature... even Eric Johnson admitted to facing difficulty, when he was invited to record a solo for this song in his INDUSTRIAL ZEN album....

[taariqtaariq]

what sort of guitar is that?

[tomlensher]

If i'm not mistaken, that is a GODIN FREEWAY SA

[gdooyear]

going to see them in chicago in april fuck yeahhhh...Can't wait

[NBZdrummist]

Soo tight! Really cool to see all these guys come together. Must have been amazing!

[ntrakit6]

Just watch his left hand during the solo, just amazing ghostnote work.

[paulo101]

The more I watch this solo, the more I love it. Think I can play the majority of it now too, which is cool! I'll never come close to the feel of Mr. Colaiuta though :P

[gamdemrito]

Me too

[nakedeyez]

from what I understand about endorsements; you must play the sponsering company drums always. You have to support and promote as much as possible and whenever possible. I fact, I believe I read this about DW (Drum Work shop) or Tama. Either case. I believe this stipulation applies to any/all companies a drummer endorses. Like Virgil, he plays Pearl drums and pedals. Vinnie plays, I believe DW pedals, but he gets a lot of free and discounted gear, so who wouldn't want to comply with the terms?

[Oneness100]

Um, Vinnie is a Gretsch endorsers, but sometimes they use whatever the promoter can get if they have to use a back line kit. Vinnie used to be a long time Yamaha endorser, but he switched during his Sting days (early 90's).

[nakedeyez]

Oneness100, I know this response is coming late, but i'm aware that Vinnie plays Gretsch drums because he even has his own custom black & white kit you see often in drum magazines. I was just making the observation that he uses DW pedals. Normally, the drummer will also use the same brand pedals as the drums(Lang &Donati). Gretsch do however, support using the Gibrator gear; this is the gear you see in Gretsch catalogues. Nonetheless, you're right, Vinnie plays Gretsch.

[Gretchluver1]

He tends to use a DW stool as well

[rongstmj]

They are absolutely my favorite musicians, and they're all up there, on the same stage. It's driving me crazy!!!

[identityinvalid]

im seein this band in january and damn..once i do i can die knowin i have seen the best musicians on the face of the earth!! i mean does a line up get any better?!?!wow

[chuck792]

definitely, it's surreal how awesome this is

[001969001969]

In this video Vinnie is playing Yamaha drums, Zildjian cymbals and the new Gretsch snare. In this place (Lituania) he didn't have his Gretsch drums!! Logistic problems?

[paulo101]

What drums is he playing there? The bass is taped.. they look a little like Yammies? Could be wrong.. that'd be quite a turn up for the books :| They do sound amazing whatever they are.

[krewetka5]

These are Gretsch drums. Original since 1929 or so ;)

[paulo101]

Trust me, those are NOT Gretsch drums. Explain why the bass drum logo is hidden underneath black tape and the lugs/what you can see of the badge on the 10" look nothing like Gretsch drums.

Also looks like he's using one of the Zildjian/Noble & Cooley limited edition bronze snare drums here? I'd kill for one of those.

[Rodgebi]

Yes Paulo is right, it looks like a good old school recording custom.

Vinnie always on top of the game having fun like a kid, playing his ass off, respect.

[paulo101]

That's what I thought at first, good ol' RCs. I wonder what Vince would reckon to the new PHX's? More specifically I wonder if he'd do a Gary Novak and switch... haha. I'll get to see what the PHXs sound like tomorrow when I see the one and only Dave Weckl!

Btw, love your playing Rodge! You're definitely a big source of inspiration to me!

[Rodgebi]

Aahaahha, I think that Vinnie will stay with Gretsch forever now.

Hey Paulo, thank you very much for your sweet words about my playing, you're sweet Man !!!

[hipskind]

Yeah, they are definitely not Gretsch here...look like Yam RC's or something--hard to tell. The snare looks like a Gretsch hammered brass of some sort, not a NC/Zildjian, which he also has...

I second that notion Rodge! You are truly a monster. I hope you are well my friend.

[Rodgebi]

Come on Tom !!!

YOU are a killer, and please enough about me, specialy when we are on a page where the Boss shows us who's the boss... :-)

Thanks again Tom, always appreciated though, specialy coming from a top musician like you.

[cristaples]

Rodge and Tom!Both Monsters!!!! get back on house of drumming where we all belong! lol Maybe a Hammered Bronze snare like he was using with Beck last few years....

[paulo101]

I think it's the polished hammered brass 14x5 he's using here. They don't cost a lot either, might have to treat myself to one! Haha.. what can I say. It does have one hell of a crack.

[hipskind]

Ha! Thanks Cris--I haven't been on HOD a whole lot lately. Hope all's well with you!

[hipskind]

Yes, we both know who our boss is! ;-) You're phenominal my friend. I hope you're doing well!

[sticktrik]

The rack toms are definitely Yamaha RC's,but

the B/D looks like a tour custom, from what I

can make out from the lugs.

[zepgen8]

these are yamaha9000.series drums..trust me..probably hired for the show.

[paulo101]

Vinnie...

[contrapunteado]

VC....Maestro!!!!

ALL STAR BAND ! My god this is the best line up ever !!!
