      Disagree, respectfully. He is the only drummer who could pull this off: 1 month span he cut a straight jazz album with Herbie Hancock, rock album with Sting and a metal album with megadeath. Combine that with sight reading abilities like the link below and there is no other drummer more versatile who can play ANYTHING, no one

    Vinnie had a goat quote one time I read....he said basically a drummer should just find a comfortable groove and practice it, and get in touch with it, fall in love with it until it's all they want to play. Vinnie!!

  • @fernandomartincom
    @fernandomartincom 3 месяца назад +2

    It's a matter of taste too. Some guys would prefer a particular drummer over another. What happens with Vinnie Colaiuta is that no other drummer in history has been or is able to do so many great things and do them really great: sightreading (like the direct to disc Bill Meyers album in the eighties), studio experience (a vast discography), stylistic versatility (Holdsworth, Megadeth, Sting, Corea, Los Tigres del Norte, McLaughlin, Faith Hill, Zappa, Hancock, Quincy Jones Big Band, etc.), technique (his teachers Richard Wilson, Jim Chapin and Gary Chaffee have said great things about him), groove and feel (more than forty years being hired to play for so many artists speak volumes), creativity (always comes up with fresh ideas), plus amazing ability to play complex arrangements including bizarre note groupings, artificial notes, polyrhythms in any time signatures. No other drummer has been or is that well rounded!

      i've wondered about it. he used matched grip with Zappa and Joni Mitchell, and then the next time after that where he used matched grip was the Songs and Visions concert in 1997. i'm not entirely sure if there's any notes about his rationale for switching between the two. i don't think we will ever know what grip he used for the Megadeth album, which is kind of cool. unless someone asks him specifically

Not knocking tattoos just saying our generation was different, not better just different. So yeah to see the tattoo freaks nowadays if free -- and sincerely that's super cool! Saves A LOT of money.

Now think of this inversely, what preceded this person stylistically and conceptually? The answer to these two questions will unveil the true GOAT…….and you better “believe it.”

      Some guys would prefer a particular drummer over another. What happens with Vinnie Colaiuta is that no other drummer in history has been or is able to do so many great things and do them really great: sightreading (like the direct to disc Bill Meyers album in the eighties), studio experience (a vast discography), stylistic versatility (Holdsworth, Megadeth, Sting, Corea, Los Tigres del Norte, McLaughlin, Faith Hill, Zappa, Hancock, Quincy Jones Big Band, etc.), technique (his teachers Richard Wilson, Jim Chapin and Gary Chaffee have said great things about him), groove and feel (more than forty years being hired to play for so many artists speak volumes), creativity (always comes up with fresh ideas), plus amazing ability to play complex arrangements including bizarre note groupings, artificial notes, polyrhythms in any time signatures. No other drummer has been or is that well rounded!
