I must admit that jazz gives me great laziness, but it is an excellent forum to see these geniuses running his music. With all due respect to you who love jazz, of course.
He understands time signatures like no other,he knows exactly what he is doing and just because you can't understand it means you will never be able to play it and neither will 99.9 of the other drummers on this planet.he transposes music and can see it on another level .check out his career and you might understand him.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
An infinite number of percussive ideas and not a SINGLE musical one--not even EVER! Not when he broke through with Zappa in the late 70s (when I sat thru this junk) and not since. A guy whose approach is to construct a groove so physically challenging that the song (or tune, or composition--whatever you wish to call it) must serve IT, rather than the other way 'round (the reason btw y drummers worship him). Or he just reverts to being nothing more than a dull timekeeper. Kill this clown--please!
@dantean I'm sorry.. there is no way of putting this, other than that its totally 100% wrong!
Vinnie is totally humble and serves the music first before imposing. Part of serving the music is composition, which he does expertly. There is such a wall of evidence that goes against what you are saying!
@iWentToNam And if you ask any of those guys, their response would be something like "Uhm... No, we don't". I know Carey has given some serious props to Vinnie in a couple of interviews.
@iWentToNam dude danny carey is fucking awesome..i love him i really do hes one of the most original drummers of all time..but even he would say that colaiuta is on another level of drumming like no other humna being on earth.
@doublethumpbass89 I totally agree Double. Danny Carey is badass, and super creative in his parts. I love all things Vinnie as well. A good one not many know about is Al Stewart's "Last Days Of The Century" cd, from 1990 I think. Killer grooves. Sting's "Ten Summner's Tales" is brilliant. There is an old Allan Holdsworth 80's disc that is mind-blowing as well.
Vinnie subdivides time and hears like no other. A very musical player. Maybe the best living drummer alive right now. Peace all.
@6672rock yes he did play on The System has failed...learned and.recorded the entire album in 2 days as per Dave mustaine..who said Vinnie was a genius
@wildanS That’s probably a Zildjian Oriental China Trash. Vinnie used the 22” model for many years. These days the Zildjian site says he plays a 20”. The one in this clip looks like the 22” to me, and since this is from the early 2000s, that makes sense.
I own the 22”, which is tougher to find now, but it’s worth the search. It’s amazing. Crash it. Ride it. Wear it on your head.
@timoteodeldesierto I don't think it is a Oriental China Trash, unless they used black printing for the logo those days. Remember, the China Trashes has red printing. ;-)
Vinnie is one of the top 5 drummers around, his work with Jeff Beck
is awesome !!, he has great jazz chops but can lay down a heavy duty Bonham-type beat when it's needed, a VERY strong kick peddle a rare combination in my experience.
His sense of tempo is perfect, live or in the studio & his fills are great.
As a Guitar player I would trade my sister for a chance to play with a guy that good :)
whats with the comparison??? ok vinnie colaiuta is a great versatile drummer, tony williams is the greatest jazz drummer EVER, steve gadd is the groove master, billy cobham is the power master, and john bonham is the rock master..DIFFERENT STYLES...no comparison in drumming whatsoever
@lukerr87 Really? You've not seen the hundreds of videos of good and bad drummers with shitty sound because some dumnass used his phone to record and uploaded the shit anyway? Or the many Travis Barker vids? Or vids that cut out right in the middle of a solo or song? THIS is the WORST drum vid you've seen? Lucky you?
@lukerr87 ha, you're intelligence is showing. It might not be the "style" of music that you like. But Vinnie is definitely one of the best drummers out there. Vic Firth ranks him better than Neil Pert or Buddy Rich, just saying...
@apercussionist91 Oh, firstly, you've used *your in the wrong way. NOT you're AND It's Neil Peart no Pert. So ahahahah, your intelligence is lacking not mine. I like many different styles of genre when it comes to drumming, but this guy just isn't interesting. Didn't mean to offend any diehard fans of this guy.
@lukerr87 Well I respect your opinion, but i hope you are an excelllent drummer that can say tha Vinnie isnt interesting....and i dont think that WE are a Vinnie´s FAN like you said, just we enjoy his tremendous skill, he´s so musical as well, I Know tthere are many drummers out there, like Bozzio, S Smith, Weckl, Roddy, Mangini etc etc...just enjoy the music men....I recomend you listen much more vinnie´s participate and music..
@lukerr87 That just shows that you don't appreciate great timing. This is a showcase of Vinnie's great timing, and tastefulness. There are a million videos of Vinnie ripping it up. This is just showing his great sense of time and dynamics.
idiots comparing b rich to vinnie c is ludicrous. totally different styles!!! there is no such thing in drumming as "the best". they are all extremely talented at their chosen style!!
@arkee71 Why do people have to say one musician is the best or would kick another's ass. IF they have developed a style of their own it is a blend of many others before them. If he was good enough to play for Zappa - who wrote out all the drum parts himself. Your comment seems based on Buddy's more bombastic style, but believe me Vinnie can do that too.
@squeezeflo ill take that as a fair criticism...because im a guitar player...buddys style prolly does grab me a little more..than a xperienced drummer who can more appreciste the subtleties of vinnies work...it was more a spur of the moment comment in response to all the "vinnie worship" on this page
Sure, Vinnie plays musically within the context of this composition (which is of questionable taste).
Vinnie could play the Sesame Street theme song and kill it.
But this trend of compositions which sound like they were intended to accompany a video game or the latest "Die Hard" film, serve no other function but as a vehicle for showing off chops. That's why there's no real audience for this stuff besides players/fanboys.
I've been reading Modern Drummer since 1982. I own ragged copies of many issues of M.D. with Vinnie in them, or on the cover and also have a few copies of the short lived "Drum" magazine, with Vinnie on the cover and the inside.
So, rather than allude to some special information you or a magazine article are privy to, why not come out and say what, precisely that is?
@larkydozer Go to his website, click the interviews tab, and read the MD interview from 2007. We all know that he can play quite a few things to say the least, but he's really not about "showing off chops."
@larkydozer you said that this music is "for fanboys," and that it is only "a vehicle for showing off chops." In the interview, the musician in question clearly states that he is NOT about showing off his chops, making your statement invalid.
My reading and comprehension skills are perfectly fine, thanks. So please stop taking shots and we can continue to have a friendly conversation.
Oh, the artist can have all sorts of intentions when they set out on a career in music, it doesn't follow that one interview dictates the objective reality of their every recorded moment and it's especially clear that this musical selection is fanboy material, regardless of your desires or Vinnie's utterances in a publication.
You can evade my question all you like, but intellectual honesty isn't something I ever expect from YouTube users. Enjoy the fuzak.
@larkydozer I'm not sure which "question" you're referring to, because I haven't evaded anything.
Not sure what "fuzak" is; maybe you made that up. I'm done arguing with you; "fanboy material" is an improper label, but you are obviously hung up on it for some reason. Have fun not enjoying cool music.
Amazing drumming, but let's face it.....this is terrible music. The same sort of stuff the Chick Corea Electric Band produced for the excitement of Berklee College of music students.
Music as always been in the ear of the beholder. One mans garbage is another mans treasure...why cant people grasp this ancient old concept? Who cares what someone else likes or dislikes as music...because at the end of the day, they are not the ones cranking your tunes in your car, turning on your MP3 player or buying your albums for you. Just listen to what you like with your ears instead of your mouth.
wow, I can't believe all the negative comments on this video. This is really tasteful playing, and an unusual but groovy arrangement. You have to strike a balance, and it's nice to see something different once in a while.
@DCussen Ha! Perhaps laying off the drink and drugs, and/or being a musician may help. This is definately "musician's music" and if you are not a musician, the odds are increased dramatically that you will not appreciate this piece. You also may want to give it a few listens; a.k.a the concept of "acquired tastes." Good luck to u mate on your ears and mind.
@TheArbiter74 I am a musician. Are you? I didn't say there wasn't talent in this. I'm saying it's Weather Channel music. Perhaps if you laid off the drinking and the drugs, you'd be able to discern good music better. Just cause talented musicians are playing it, doesn't mean it's great music.
@DCussen Am I a musician? Comical question. Yeah, I dont drink or do drugs and I'm looking around this crazy country of ours, and that may be my problem. Oh well.
Vinnie may very well be the best drummer history has seen. He has it all: technique, versatility, professionalism, chops, stage presence, and innovation. I think even Gadd and Weckl may agree...
@ everyone, Vinnie is better than Travis Barker and Terry Bozzio and, of course , John Bonham, better than Stewart Copeland (and the limited Chad Smith), Elvin Jones, greater than Chad Wackerman. I really think Vinnie's ambient-powerful-technical play is like Steve Gadd on ketamine, with his technical ability but also John Bonham's power and passion. Yay the VC!
@drawlbag Music's subjective; you can't really state these as facts. Granted, I agree, to a degree, with you on some of your opinions. But they all are great in their own right.
@Metallica4Ever93 MMm almost right....no wonder your name says metellica, ulrich is even a lesser drummer then travis. Not that they don't play well, but they can not compare to this man, weckl, gadd, smith, greb, bobham, townsley (ok,and others)....by far!!
@abirch300 Well said. I couldn't possibly agree more. Weckl's the same way. Who would buy an album of this music?? I don't care how good the drums are.
@DCussen I almost agree with you, although I love about half of Weckl's Masterplan and parts of Hardwired. Festival DeRitmo from Masterplan is superb!
those keyboardmiditrumpets sure sound like shit

Music as always been in the ear of the beholder. One mans garbage is another mans treasure...why cant people grasp this ancient old concept? Who cares what someone else likes or dislikes as music...because at the end of the day, they are not the ones cranking your tunes in your car, turning on your MP3 player or buying your albums for you. Just listen to what you like with your ears instead of your mouth.

I love Vinnie and I love fusion, but I'll admit this song is weak.

wow, I can't believe all the negative comments on this video. This is really tasteful playing, and an unusual but groovy arrangement. You have to strike a balance, and it's nice to see something different once in a while.

This music SUCKS!! Who would ever listen to this? I don't care who is playing the drums...would you honestly buy a CD of this?
DCussen 9 months ago
@DCussen Ha! Perhaps laying off the drink and drugs, and/or being a musician may help. This is definately "musician's music" and if you are not a musician, the odds are increased dramatically that you will not appreciate this piece. You also may want to give it a few listens; a.k.a the concept of "acquired tastes." Good luck to u mate on your ears and mind.

@TheArbiter74 I am a musician. Are you? I didn't say there wasn't talent in this. I'm saying it's Weather Channel music. Perhaps if you laid off the drinking and the drugs, you'd be able to discern good music better. Just cause talented musicians are playing it, doesn't mean it's great music.

@DCussen Am I a musician? Comical question. Yeah, I dont drink or do drugs and I'm looking around this crazy country of ours, and that may be my problem. Oh well.

Vinnie may very well be the best drummer history has seen. He has it all: technique, versatility, professionalism, chops, stage presence, and innovation. I think even Gadd and Weckl may agree...

@ everyone, Vinnie is better than Travis Barker and Terry Bozzio and, of course , John Bonham, better than Stewart Copeland (and the limited Chad Smith), Elvin Jones, greater than Chad Wackerman. I really think Vinnie's ambient-powerful-technical play is like Steve Gadd on ketamine, with his technical ability but also John Bonham's power and passion. Yay the VC!

@drawlbag Music's subjective; you can't really state these as facts. Granted, I agree, to a degree, with you on some of your opinions. But they all are great in their own right.

@Metallica4Ever93 MMm almost right....no wonder your name says metellica, ulrich is even a lesser drummer then travis. Not that they don't play well, but they can not compare to this man, weckl, gadd, smith, greb, bobham, townsley (ok,and others)....by far!!

@abirch300 Well said. I couldn't possibly agree more. Weckl's the same way. Who would buy an album of this music?? I don't care how good the drums are.
DCussen 10 months ago
@DCussen I almost agree with you, although I love about half of Weckl's Masterplan and parts of Hardwired. Festival DeRitmo from Masterplan is superb!
