@misteranonymousguy There's just something right about 5/4, isn't there? I've liked it since I was a kid listening to the original "Mission Impossible".
hey guys, check out my drum cover of seven days posted above in the video response box! i transcribed vinnies drum part note for note, including the ending fills!! please leave me a comment and let me know what you think.
Sting, Vinny, and Dominic...They are just an awesome trio. I play all 3 of their instruments, so I understand what true masters that they are. I never seem to get tired of listening to them...

Its definitely in 5/8. You guys are overthinking it. Its basically a 6/8 groove minus an 1/8 note. Besides you cant count it in quarters the phrasing would be off.
it's can actually be both: two measures of 5/8 equal to one of 5/4. if you follow the accent of the hi hat you can count it as 5/4. in the chorus you can hear the 5/4 a lot better. think of 5/8 as the double time of 5/4. (1)12(2)34(3)51(4)23(5)45:] EXPLANATION: in parenthesis is what you tap(quarters). outside the parenthesis is what you count out loud(eighth notes, what you are counting).
@thrabash I'm a drummer, so i know about rhythm. the drum accents and the way he approached it, makes it 5/4. when i was a beginner(i'm not professional either) i played this song in 5/8 because i wasn't aware of the accents. 5/4 also equals exactly to 10/8(5/8 plus 5/8), 20/16, 40/32 or 80/64.
@juanbarros88 Good answer, but I think we can only imagine what's the right pulse. Could be either five quarters or five quavers... or even dottedquaver+dottedquaver+quarter (counting semiquavers: 1231231234-1231231234...)
I believe the time signature is very fast 5/4. If you count it out the rim shots are on the 4 beat of every measure and the singing mostly starts on the down beat.
no, it's 5/4 around 90-95 bpm. follow the main hi hat accents in the main groove., those accents are the quarter notes, the pulse. I'm a drummer and I have played this song a lot, so i really know what's going on. it an easy song but great. sorry if i sound arrongant.
Well, didn't find it "ironic" that the tune is in 5 but did find it interesting. Guess there would have to be more of a connection between 5 and 7 for there to be irony but hey, that's me. Great tune, great playing. Gee, what else is new . . .;-)
I got Ten Summoner's Tales a couple years ago. Can someone tell what DVD this is from? I didn't know that recorded the making of each song from the album for film. I saw Dominic Miller a couple years ago jamming with Will Calhoun from Living Colour on a program about studio musicians that jam together on BET J. God bless these great musicians. Makes me proud to be a musician
Always thought it was strange to create this massive live recording set-up (the video has a whole set) , only have it mimed. There's too many moments where the playing and sound just don't match up. 1:05 for example.
@PoeticJustice05 Sorry PJ, but wrong, this is the band playing (quite accurately) to the album version. Too many fills and hi-hat flourishes do not sync up. Look again at the break at 1.05, he plays across the toms, we hear cymbal and snare hit. Vinnie's my hero drummer, but Sting (or his producers) have a tendency to intersperse these kind of recordings with mimed performances. Other tracks off this set are live, and you can really tell the difference. This is just lifted from the album.
@tobaccogiant23 I know this, I'm not blind or deaf. I just said he's playing his instrument. I know he's not playing everything note for note like on the album. He probably didn't remember all the fills and patterns he did, so some things in the vid are different.

I had the pleasure of meeting Vinnie and watching him play at a clinic in 85'. I was freaking blown away by his playing. He was also very nice and approachable. Good for him on all his success.
ya it sucks whoever produced this video didn't edit in the right drum hits. however vinnie probably improvised this part in the studio, and doesn't neccasarily remember the specific hits off the record. in live vids of this song, his parts are always way different.
if you wanna see the studio drum parts the way it sounds on the record check out the JEFF GORDON DRUM COVER of seven days that was posted as a response to this vid.
@sintrade Yes! I never paid attention to it until you had pointed that - funny. Well, seven days - shots taken from Monday till Sunday ;) (IQ is no problem here)
@sintrade Yes! I didn't notice it before you had pointed that. Well - seven days - numerous shots from Monday till Sunday ;) (IQ is no problem here...) I tried to follow other details, but didn't catch anything else.
how can people dislike,perfect music,sting,the man who has been around the world,im 22 i know im young but my dad is loyal fan,in the car as a child listening to this,what a feeling,me my dad,loving sting and his art
To me, this song is almost perfect, from a musician's standpoint. So subtle, yet quietly in your face when it needs to be. Wow. Vinnie is truly amazing... as are all others in this video... but yeah... Vinnie is the MAN! :)
@cwaidoh Well, it would be more difficult in 7/8, don't you think:)
Though, I love Sting's strange times, don't you think that's amazing:P which pop musician (now a days) does it? No one:P Sting will always be the most creative. Always pushing himself to a new artistic level! That's why he's great:P
@cwaidoh Only if it's ironic that "Four Sticks" is in 5/8, or that "Three Little Birds" is in 4/4, or that any other song with a number in its title is not in a time signature corresponding to that number.
@plazxgtr i think, it could be like, hey i want this tune in 5/4, but, keep a 4/4 feel, i mean i could not know., but i am pretty sure Sting gives him a lot of freedom, Sting is a great musician with respect for the others, and he knows what he's got...
@cwaidoh it should be in six cause Sunday'd be too late:)) ...makes me wonder why his '25 to midnight' is in seven then:)))) (if you like 7/4 or 7/8 or 5/4 and so on regarding the odd meter, look for Macedonian folk music here on you tube;) - Cheers!!!
(but colaiutas drumming in this video clearly doesnt sync with the music played, wich means this is not footage from the actual recording of the song)
I counted it like this. Hi-hat goes always four times, 1234 1234 1234 1234 and the whole beat, 12345 12345 12345 12345... bass drum always on 1 and snare on 4. Hi-hat goes four times and I count to five, so it's 5/4.
@DrJLA 5/8 is not a bad guess but technically it's 5/4. It has to do with how the five beats are counted. 5/8 is counted as, "one two, one two three." 5/4 is counted, "one and two and three and four and five and."
this is a great song.......but it seems like they took the recording from the cd and lined it up with the video........looks like vinnie doing more awesome stuff thats not on the final recording everytime they show him (only a drummer would see something like that!!!) as if they were saying, "ok that was great, but it was too many notes! just cut a few and it will be perfect!!!
pretty sure this is at his home in the English Countryside... nice house, nice song, nice band, nice career,,, man Sting is so cooooooooooooool love this track, he is so smart in so many ways,, musically, story telling, history.... wow
Great song but I find it kind of amusing to see the headset worn differently through the entire song by Sting. I've got the same headset and the cord should be hanging on the left side. If you watch Sting, you'll see it hanging on the right side of his head.
I believe this set was made in his studio - house in England = next to his yoga studio. GREAT piece but personally I am favoring the one with Chris Botti. Yes, I love the drummer. weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.

In the original video they are actually playing live. But I cannot find anything but this "lip-synched" version.

Best ever from Sting... an awesome music composed by a genius... 10/10...

Great song but I find it kind of amusing to see the headset worn differently through the entire song by Sting. I've got the same headset and the cord should be hanging on the left side. If you watch Sting, you'll see it hanging on the right side of his head.

Everyone always says how amazing this song is in 5/4. Dont get me wrong its a great tune.
But when playing it, its to fast to be going "12345" its all about the groove.
Once you get that. its like any other song

One astoundingly great song. Maybe the best song ever in 5/4

This is really serious drumming man! Didn't know "Vinnie Colaiuta" until know (thanks for pointing this out in the comments), amazing stuff!!
If you like this, also watch Manu Katché play this same song on the Sting DVD "all this time", also kickass drumming :D

I believe this set was made in his studio - house in England = next to his yoga studio. GREAT piece but personally I am favoring the one with Chris Botti. Yes, I love the drummer. weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.
