He's an all times great, but despite my appreciation for him, pretty sure, he won't be studied as he is on the top but not unique. There are equally good studio drummers out there.
So many great, versatile drummers. Vinnie, Gadd, Weckl, Bruford, Palmer, Cobham, Williams, Walden, Moore, Wackerman, Blakey, Roach, Rich, Morello, Krupa, etc. Those who think the drum world begins and ends with Bonham and Peart are lso limited...
My favorite of all time is Cobham. There are so many more though. Here are some more: Narada Michael Walden, Dennis Chambers, Kurt Covington, Gary Husband, Jeff Sipes, Mike Clark, rod morgenstein, Lenny White and Matt Garstka,
Vinnie is one of the greatest; top 5 easily. I do enjoy watching his solos as they are from another dimension, but, in my humble opinion, watching Vinnie play with Sting et al and the little licks he lays on top of the seemingly simple melodies is a true display of his greatness.
I discovered Vinnie C on a Frank Zappa tape when I was a kid, Joe’s Garage. Until then I had only listened to punk drummers and Bonham but opened my mind up to far more intricate patterns and other drummers like Steve Gadd and Dave Weckl. A phenomenal drummer.
My "Brush with Fame" Vinnie moment. Back in the mid 80's, he hadn't been in LA for that long and was still getting his name know around town. A friend said you gotta go see this drummer playing at a small club in the Valley. (Yea, "The Valley Dude, fer sure.") Said "he's unbelievable." Well that was absolutely true. In between sets I saw Vinnie take a seat at the bar and thought to myself, I wonder if he's teaching? Got the nerve to go up and ask him and he nicely said sure! He wrote his number down on a cocktail napkin and off I went it. A week later I called only to find it was a fake phone number. I couldn't help but laugh out loud and wasn't surprised thinking to myself... This guy is in the process of becoming one of the worlds greatest drummers ever and as busy as I''m sure he was at the time I'm sure he didn't want to disappoint me. A Living Legend is soooo right! :-)
@@Joesfosterdogs Or could have been The Flying Jib in Encino. He played with the Dave Boruff Band several days a week in the early 80's at least. If it was the mid 80's then maybe not. I think they had all moved on to other things by then.
It is a fact agreed upon by pretty much all drummers that this man is one of the all-time absolute legends! and yet he keeps amazing me every time I hear him play! No one like him!
Vinnies groove IS something sooo rare! No one plays the beat like he do. THATS rare! Every pro drummer will study Vinnie for about 500 years minimum. No one comes near him
There are plenty who come near him. He's one of the best for sure, but they're many players who are equal. They may have different attributes but that's what makes music great
@@HughMorristheJoker not very many drummers are even on the same planet as Vinnie. He can cover the entire spectrum of music. Who else does it like him? His phrasing and thinking is a level above everyone.
@@zappa0609 He didn't get a lot of real , unscripted drum solos with FZ. But the stuff with Brian Matheson is outrageous. Check it. It wasn't represented in this video either.and it is some truly unbelievable stuff.
As far back as I can remember, Vinnie can just hit empty cymbals (no kick underneath) and make it sound amazing.. If I try it, it sounds like a whoopsie!
Also, I think that Vinnie is technically light years ahead to Jimi. It is a crazy comparison, at least to me. Absolutely crazy. Jimi is nowhere near technically proficient according to todays virtuoso standards. Could you say that about Vinnie?
i Frickin LOVE vinnie's playing...the dude is a MONSTER...the one observation I have for Vinnie and all the other dudes like Dave Wekyl, the gospel dudes, and all the disciples who carry on that skill level is that I wish they didn't all play "dentist office music"....the live/electric jazz that most dudes with insane chops play these days to is to me just chop heavy elevator music that appeals only to "musicians" rather than cool bands ...just a thought but no disrespect to any of these players...they are all badassses first and foremost.
Brilliant! I thought I was reading my own post! I have been thinking the same for years. Music only for musicians, elevator music and or a drum clinic crowd. I actually hate it!
Not true for Vinnie though. Vinnie played on so many records, not just jazz/fusion. He plays Pop to metal to country, movie soundtracks etc. That’s why he’s voted the best all-around drummer many times on modern drummer magazine.
@@JoEsp yeah i agree about vinnie including his work with Sting and Frank Zappa etc.....my comment was more directed in general to the "chops gods" drummers
I swear the following story is true. I was living in LA next to a guy who loked like Kieth Richards on a bad day. He said he performed under the name Mad Anthony and we should come see his band that night. We had absolutely dismissed this guy as a complete burnout but he said, "Come on out, Vinnie's in town." We didn't ask Vinnie who. That night we went to see him and he was transformed, with a sort of Alice Cooper-ish stage show. At the break he brought a guy to our table and said "I'd like to introduce you to Vinnie Colaiuta." We were speechless.
Maybe it's me...But it seems Vinnie was more fluent in the 80's Today he seems to hit hard much harder then then!! Just seems much more heavy handed!! Not badmouthing...just observing!
OH MY GOD! Ive been searching and searching for the clips at 6:58 but I think they were taken down a few years ago. Where did you find them? Thank you so so so much!

the ones who inspired vinnie & his roommate steve smith in the 70's when they were still studying: tony williams & billy cobham!
Jim keltner
Omar Hakim.
After Vinnie I don't care
@@realitykicksin8755 me too..
when Vinny stops i sound just like him!!
He is a living legend at this point. Drummers will be studying his playing until the sun burns out.
DEFINETELY!!!
Facts
No
@@jlro.o.fuckyeahfrommexico.1997 Yes

one of the greatest drummers...ever..

Harvey Mason could be added to your list
And Jack Dejohnette
Great list indeed.
Then there is John ' Drumbo ' French , aaaand Art Tripp ... Hal Blaine , Richie Heywood , Earl Palmer , Chester Thompson , Pretty Purdie ...

Strongly agree! Vinie, Dave Weckl, Gary Novak are the greatest of all times!

One of the very best to ever pick up a pair of sticks, without a doubt.
A lot of drummers play drums, Vinnie plays art because he is the personification of art.
I'm a drummer, and I wouldn't know where to come back in after most of these fills. 😂 Respect to the bands!
Bro, he is playing timing that needs a watch with a flux capacitor. He's so far ahead in time it's like Doc Brown.
Practice more than you will know / minimum 3 hours a day and that for min. One Year
😎👍Absolutely love his playing w/Jeff Beck!

was it the Baked Potato? i saw him around that time there with Dog Cheese
@@Joesfosterdogs the stuff he was playing with Dog Cheese was so far ahead of it’s time.

Finding out a fakenumber later was like an odd time meter that means: Teach it yourself please.
@@jeroenvermunt862 Yea, a fake # means I'm Vinnie and youre not...he shouldve just said 'sorry, too busy, good luck'
Vinnie Coluaita…..
Highly exceptional, freakish master on the drums ! Isn’t one aspect of his playing vocabulary that isn’t absolutely mastered 🥁👌🏻👍🏻
It is a fact agreed upon by pretty much all drummers that this man is one of the all-time absolute legends! and yet he keeps amazing me every time I hear him play! No one like him!
He’s always a thrill to watch and listen to, my favourite drummer 🙏
Love the Vinnie. He's not human but one of the best on the planet!

A solo is one thing. Much more interresting is his skills playing with the best musicians like Frank Zappa and so many more
Exactly, Zappa period is missing here
@@zappa0609 He didn't get a lot of real , unscripted drum solos with FZ. But the stuff with Brian Matheson is outrageous. Check it. It wasn't represented in this video either.and it is some truly unbelievable stuff.
@@homard62 I know about the FZ part. The Matheson work is Stunning
I can’t believe I grew up a half hour away from Vinnie during the same time period and I just recently learned about him! 10:38PM
As far as I’m concerned, his most brilliant work was done on Joe’s garage Frank Zappa that’s where I became a fan. What an amazing session drummer.
One of the best of all time.
Vinnie is an amazing timekeeper. He can keep multiple times grooving at the same time. Does Mr. Colaiuta defy the laws of physics?
My favorite Vinnie era is white Gretsch kit , black tang top. 😮
Insane drummer and can play any style. Such class.
So much fluidity in his drumming!
Vinnie was good with Zappa. I saw him with Jeff Beck... the thing is he needs have music backing him up. He's really good
How could you NOT love this guy 🍻👍
Some real nice chops there. Deep in the pocket, outstanding !
As far back as I can remember, Vinnie can just hit empty cymbals (no kick underneath) and make it sound amazing.. If I try it, it sounds like a whoopsie!
There are certain names that do not need last names when it comes to certain instruments.....Jimi- guitar......Jaco- bass......Vinnie- drums......
I think Jimmy needs last name cause there are 2 options (Page, Hendrix)😃
@@mihrannersessyan9150 there’s a lot of jimmy’s, not many “Jimi’s”
@chris-chentrice2019 One has a chicken shack! Oh wait..
Also, I think that Vinnie is technically light years ahead to Jimi. It is a crazy comparison, at least to me. Absolutely crazy. Jimi is nowhere near technically proficient according to todays virtuoso standards. Could you say that about Vinnie?
@@u.v.s.5583 I agree
This guy is to good that i don't want to play drums anymore:))
Gotta play coz u love playing … *NOT* because you wanna be Vinny … *coz you’ll never be Vinny*
He plays naturally ! As one with the drums , the best instrument , he displays that immensely as he loves to play and perform
Wooooooo damn! He's like the White-Billy Cobham!
A solid 5 minutes is neded from Joe's Garage "Packard Goose"
Greatest, most versatile drummer on the planet
" Very Best Musician " .. Great Talent. .. Nice One ... ☺😊😀/💙💙💙/👍👌👏👋
Mindblowing Poetry in motion !!
Just totally eye watering stuff! 😁😊
Vinie Colaiuta... El mejor baterista del mundo...!!!
Best on the planet
Wowza... and he definitely improved with age. Truly remarkable.
He’s my personal favorite.

I have never heard Jeff Beck in an elevator
Whoever spliced this together is a fucking genius at slicing drum bits together! Signed, a hack splicer
We’ll …thank you so much! 😎 🍻
Как Винни чувствует Музыку!!
Обалдеть!
Один из самых музыкальных барабанщиков!!!
Never heard of him for whatever horrible reason. But wow. And he hits hard like pre digital days.
If somebody starts playing Vinnie, I just put on my sticks and listen.
One of the greats for sure!!!👍
Great sounding kit
Great drummer and a good person as well
thanks!
The best...
Самый музыкальный барабанщик!!!
Не зря его так высоко ценил Фрэнк Заппа.
The problem with Vinnie is he is so fast you can't tell what he just played
I can tell what he played.
Drums and other percussion.
This a master of the Drums !! Just only good sounds from my ears !! Solo Perfect Ejecution !!
First saw him with Frank Zappa. Steve Vai, was also in this version of FZ. One of the best bands
Wekyl, White, Colaiuta. THE Holy Drum Trinty.
The video with him and Weckl and Gadd is a must see
On another level.
Top of the best, Vinny enough said
There's Vinnie C. Then there's everyone else ...
Most impressive is how tight he is with the other musicians making it look like child’s play absolutely ridiculous
The 3 best drummer in the world, Steve Gadd, Dave Weckl and Vinnie Colaiuta,
I'm missing aaron spears on that list
Another bias fool!
Happy Birthday Vinnie Coliauta! Its today Feb. 11th 💞💞💖💋💯
His birthday is actually on February the 5th.
The ultimate Jedi
love Vinnie!! who are the other great musicians here?
Muy gueno _PINY COLASUCIA_ con su raspaquepasparaspaquetepaspa y rrrraaa pish pish pishshi pish pish pum bun pum

Nothing short of amazing!

Amazing

Yep !

how can this miss the 92 blue note!? great stuff still !!
The drummers drummer ❤️❤️
Too bad the moment of him eating sushi while sight reading a Zappa score wasn't filmed, otherwise that should have been included here.
Too bad there were no camera phones at that time...that would be the footage which should be stored to Library of Congress or something.
Maybe it's me...But it seems Vinnie was more fluent in the 80's Today he seems to hit hard much harder then then!! Just seems much more heavy handed!! Not badmouthing...just observing!
Genius!
O cara é muito bom 👏👏👏👏👏👍👍👍👍👍👊🥁🥁🥁
what would you think of featuring Kenny Aronoff. One of the biggest studio monsters ever?
Where is that Karisma clip from?
Vinny is not half bad 😉 WOW!!~
8:20 wait...ahahah
GOAT
Pls ppl check out this man’s playing on new blues old bruise . John McLaughlin album industrial zen 🤪absolutely insane
Just looked it up on Spotify and I’m now listening to the opening track as I write this. Thanks for the suggestion!
Mike Mangini, Carmine Appice, Colaiuta.... All italian pride 🇮🇹
Don't forget Virgil Donati! Also, even though he is not a musician, long live Quentin Tarantino!
No mention of Steve Vai
Where’s Porcaro, huh?
Steve gadd
I would love to know what that show is @ 1:45.
What concert is this? I recognize David Garfield on keys. But who are the guitar and the bass players?
he's from the same generation than Gadd , remembers me him but so much more hot ....i seen him only one time in 1978 with Zappa in Montreal....
just for the Joni Mitchell Frank Zappa Sting & Robben Ford work he's one of the greatest - but that's not even 15% of his catalog
amazing
Dave Weckl..please..one more !!!
I liked Vinnie only on that white USA custom series Gretsch
With which band he used to play?
OH MY GOD!
Ive been searching and searching for the clips at 6:58 but I think they were taken down a few years ago. Where did you find them? Thank you so so so much!
