Vinnie Colaiuta was Zappa's best drummer hands down!

[SteveSparx]

each drummer performed a different, yet excellent purpose.

@qpine Batz: the best drummer in Zappas time was just everyone, Jimmy Carl Blake, Steve Thomson ,Terry Bozzio, Chad Wakerman and Colaiuta. But it is the thing ,he played only with the best. He was one of the Rock musicans who is exeptet in the the ´´so called´´ E-Musik. So ´´Humor belongs to music?´´ Forget it, it´s only funny.

@qpine i must disagree with the upmost respect but in my humble opinion i must say chester thompson was a mighty fine drummer but i dont think he had a bad musician come through his band. im sure even frank's brother carl must be a pretty good guitarist.

Very nice! Thanks!

Zappa always thought Vinnie was the best...

@qpine sorry my vote goes narrowly to terry bozzio

Whoops...forgot about Billy Mundi..that aint' no drum machine on Flower Punk home slices...brilliant!...and I hear alot of Vinnie in this guys king playin'..whatcha say Vince?

@pedalla Okay. Thanks for the notice. As far as being an asshole goes. you nailed it. I don't typically compare musicians in any way. I think my point was to express my love for Vinny and what brought out the best in Frank's soling. And by the way, I'm 43 and listen to Heavy Metal. And a ton of other shit. Anyway, thanks again for letting me know that I got some award that I could fart sideways to a dime about based on a comment that I made two fucking years ago and completely forgot about.

@qpine just to let you know you got the most liked comment on this video, congratulations.. but to be an asshole i need to tell you that's really subjective opinion.. i like colaiuta too, but comparing musician is what rock and heavy metal kids do...

Strictly Genteel-thank you very much.

The 'Jazz Noise Here' version is timed better and is literally Zappa fucking bliss.

Vinnie's king of the count.

Aynsley,Jim Gordon,Art Tripp,Ralph,John Guerin-kings of feel.

Boz?-a little bit of both..and a maniac..and the drummer on 'Pomp'

Chad cradled it all- and is the drummer on 'Ship'

Boy ...what an impossible topic
