Perfect example of a drummer completely blowing your mind without “overplaying.”
I've been a drummer since the fifth grade back in 1984 and studied every style of music you could think of. Music is my reason for living. I can't put into words how good Vinnie Colaiuta is.
@@Joker-ig8im He's a beast on Megadeth's 'The System Has Failed'.
@@philliptaylor5229 Thank you. Haven't heard it. Will check it out tonight when I get home and can hear it on my Audiophile System!
They are all so great
Watch 13 year old Yoyoka play this and your mind will be blown again.
the drumming on this track is fucking amazing
Let a 54 old drummer jus' shake your hand mate!😀🤝🥁🤘🏻✌🏻

Vinnie is an under appreciated master
Especially considering he's playing against a different time signature in the vocals!
This is an absolute pop masterpiece. But it's also one of the greatest recorded drum tracks in pop music history. A doctoral dissertation could be written on Vinnie's performance.
Mr. Colaita is, indeed, one of the very best in the business. Creme de la creme. Makes the technically challenging look like child's play. There are only a few songs, especially in pop music, where the drum parts are so intricate and so central to the structure and fabric of the song as it is here. A masterpiece, indeed.
Sting is blessed to have worked with such awesome drummers. This guy is almost as good as Copeland
@@freebee8221 You mean Copeland is almost as good as Vinnie?
Love Copeland, but, we're talking probably the best alive, versus top 10, maybe top 5.
Now go hear Yoyoka play it...
One of my all time favorite songs. Ten Summoner’s Tales was so beautifully composed, a timeless masterpiece really.
Yep. It really stands alone in it's completeness (for want of a better word).
Passed me by first time around but it is an outstanding piece of work, perfectly executed as is most things has done. Reading his autobiography.. great sincere read.
Yes and to the average ear it is impossible to distinguish the notes , etc.
Unless you have a true musical genius ear.
... And the sound, guys. The sound!
Not one note overplayed. Every hit intended. Perfect for the song. And yet, we are floored. Vinnie the master drummer.
Colaiuta's drumming is just perfect here, 10/10
its actually 5/4..
Holy cow, didn't realize that was him!
@@MaintainMundane It's 11/10 for me..
10/8*
The cover is almost impossible😔for me
Sting at the peak of his powers in this era. Awesome.
5% spam
20% I like the song
75% Colaiuta best drummer on the Earth
Dennis chambers is the best drummer in the world
@@Blacktherivertv maybe
Exceptional drumming!
@@Blacktherivertv qq+!!+!+Q
@@Blacktherivertv Nobody -is the best drummer in the world;-)).Trust me.There is a number of great drummers(Colaiuta included) , great pianists, great keyboard players aaaa and important great composers.That's all what it is to it.There is no ''best'' after a certain level.How do you compare Miles to ...what?And ''So what''?If you compare.It does not count.Lost in space.Rachmaninoff to ...who?Why?Etc.
My son, who was a drummer for a college band, had difficulty playing 5/4. He perfected by practicing this song.
Put the snare on the 4 and the rest comes naturally
@@georgerussell2947 Basically becomes a compound of 3/4 and 2/4 - Everything's Alright from Jesus Christ Superstar has a similar feel, but with an extra hit on the 5
It's 5 / 8
Such a great example of flow
Amk
Not only a masterclass in drumming from Vinnie Colaiuta, but I think this is one of Sting’s best songs ever (not that I think he’s ever written a bad one).
This recording session was all about superb songs.
I fully agree with you on this one my friend . 🎵🎶👌👌
Absolutely!! And Vinnie was one of my mayor influences on drums back in the 80’s!
Desert Rose has always been up there for me, but I do like this one too.
Best song of the best album.
This is the reason why Sting's songs are uncopiable. What a great song for procrastinators.
Joni Mitchell, Steely Dan's Walter Becker and Don Fagin -and Sting -the greatest songwriters of ALL time.I have grown up with Stings musicians as I have grown wiser and more subtly as a person -so has Stings alchemical grace and beauty -a joy .Thank you Gordon!
I'll add an honorable mention to Breakfast in America for their wonderful "The Logical Song." I never tire of hearing it.
I. G. Y. is my favorite by Fagen, and I have a soft spot for Shape of Your Heart by Sting because I love playing cards, though it's really hard to pick one top favorite from him because I love so many of his songs with equal joy, this one being one of them.
I'm discovering this song in 2023 and man - what a track. Lyrics, chords, drumming, vocals - it's a a total masterpiece.
Agreed. Even the SOUND of the instruments. Those drums for example are so crisp, articulate, and punchy while sitting effortlessly in the mix. Don’t know of any other mix quite like it.
and the setting !!!!
The whole album, every song is a masterpiece. Because of the caliber of musicians he gathered it's by far his best album. Couldn't recommend it enough!
Thirty years on and it still hits the spot.
Very few musicians on the planet have been on this guys level of genius.
There's so much going on in this song. Everything about it spells perfection.
That's what I thought!
i thought it spelled 7 days :))
chris botti did a great guest appearance on their live performances in this too
This song doesn’t exist without the drummer
I don't think Sting has ever written a bad song.
Drumming masterclass!
This has a nice jazzy riff to it-an underestimated classic
Russians, maybe...
So, so true !!

Vinnie’s ability to feel the vibe and flow of the song while adding a keen sense of rhythm and energy that ebbs and flows is truly amazing!!! ✌️😎🎤🔥🥁
Sting writes with such honesty and integrigrity. He is a very acomplished artist in so many ways.
😉
Bravo!❤
this song still awesome . nobody produce this kind of music anymore.
Everyone's talking about Sting and the drummer, but I fricking love that smile from the keyboardist at the beginning of the video!
i swear man! and that head tilt he does. makes you feel jealous, in a good way, of the fun they're having. i think he's looking at the drummer at that time
That’s cos he’s admiring Sting and Vinnie’s drumming lol he knows what’s coming
Man he's so goddamned into the pocket on that off rhythm stab/pluck....his meter was so consistent considering how he had to play 'out and around' what the drums were laying down.
Great work sir! Thanks
This whole album is a masterpiece. His lyrics are sublime, and the music.....perfection.
🤩🤩
What was the album. I'm looking for it. Can you help?

@@yacinecharene3535 Thank you, Yacine.
@@acquiesce100 you're welcome🙂
Listening in 2024, was introduced to Sting /The Police by my brother when I was in high-school, 25 years later still loving Sting, from Elizabeth Mabole (nee August)
A masterpiece with a stratospheric Vinnie off the charts.
The irony of a song called "seven days" being in 5/4. Really cool song.
Everything’s just perfect in this song. And Vinnie Colaiuta’s drumming is absolutely stunning.
I don't know what's more mesmerizing...Sting's voice or the instrumentals.
One of Sting's best songs. Vinnie is a beast on the drums. He's so inspirational♥️
He plays with right mood intense and calm
I love how Dr. Sting tells stories with his music. 🎭
Yes. Dr. Sting. Professor Sting, King Sting, Head mixer...
When you try and explain to someone that you like music that sounds full. This is it! Never gets old.
The little tastes of 6/8 he puts in the groove are amazing
I think it's 5/4
Vinnie's drums on this are sublime and so damn awesome.
LYRICS (YEAR 1993):
"Seven days" is all she wrote
A kind of ultimatum note
She gave to me
She gave to me
When I thought the field had cleared
It seems another suit appeared
To challenge me
Oh, woe is me
Though I hate to make a choice
My options are decreasing mostly rapidly
Well, we'll see
I don't think she'd bluff this time
I really have to make her mine
It's plain to see
It's him or me
Monday, I could wait 'til Tuesday
If I make up my mind
Wednesday would be fine
Thursday's on my mind
Friday'd give me time
Saturday could wait
Sunday'd be too late
The fact he's over six feet ten
Might instill fear in other men
But not in me
The mighty flea
Ask if I am mouse or man
The mirror squeaked, away I ran
He'll murder me
In time for his tea
Does it bother me at all
My rival is Neanderthal?
It makes me think, hey
Perhaps I need a drink
IQ is not an issue here
We won't be playing Scrabble
For her hand I fear
I need that beer, hey
Monday, I could wait 'til Tuesday
If I make up my mind
Wednesday would be fine
Thursday's on my mind
Friday'd give me time
Saturday could wait
Sunday'd be too late
Seven days will quickly go
The fact remains, I love her so (I love her so)
Seven days, so many ways
I can't run away
No, I can't run away
Monday, I could wait 'til Tuesday
If I make up my mind
Wednesday would be fine
Thursday's on my mind
Friday'd give me time
Saturday could wait
Sunday'd be too late
Oh, Sunday
Sunday'd too late, too late
Too late, too late, oh
Do I have to tell the story
Of a thousand rainy days since we first met?
Oh!
It's a big enough umbrella
But it's always me that ends up getting wet
Masterpiece
'It seems another suitor appeared'
One of the few perfect songs. I never get tired of listening to Seven Days.
nothing like 5 beats per bar to make your soul want to fly
Wonderful track. I wish people were doing music like this now.
looking someone else there lombok land and life.. u will found more then sting polis
This 5/4 groove is so fun to play. Vinnie is a legend
isnt it 5/8?
it is
This is 5/4, you count it in crotchets not quavers.
5/8
5/8 sunday be to late..
This song never gets old. No matter how much I listen, I never get bored.
Never ever❤

Nope, 2019 here!
Yep... was singing in the bathroom and then needed to hear it again
Me too man, that song is amazing!
Ah, Vinnie, you drumming genius!
Sting: can you make it sound a bit more like Copeland?
Der. Song. Ist. Soooo. Geil!!!
Die drums von Vinnie, genial! Es passt einfach alles!
This is by far the best band he's put together. They are so on, and the tour was even better! They are so tight...it's like they're just sitting there... waiting for the notes and they're perfect. Musicians like this make it LOOK easy. It's not! Each one is at the top of his game. Sting is so talented, he attracts them. All I can say is WOW! - honored to have seen this show 🙏🎶✨️✨️✨️
They are tight but I would debate you on that one and take his band from 'Bring On The Night' if you don't mind; Kenny Kirkland (keyboards), Darryl Jones (bass), Branford Marsalis (saxophone), Omar Hakim (drums).
@@anagram8 Ahhh you're right, good call! So much talent there
You know @@JTland-sea-air there's room for both schools of thought. I think Sting needed the first band as part of his growth moving on from the 'Police' and this group spoke to who he was during that part of his journey. I could see him having an entirely different band today that speaks to who he is now. We are different at different times of our journey and some how the same.
I would like to say that as a drummer who has been studying, for the past 30 years for the most part, this song in particular carries the benefit of total satisfaction. Vinnie is amazing. I am so thankful for Sting getting Vinnie on board for this album which is a masterpiece.
His taste and groove on this track is phenomenal.
@@mrshankly213 I agree. It is perfect in every way. Taste is the right word, every accent, the syncopation and polyrythms, and the authority in his limb independence flips all my switches and turns all my dials every time I hear it, since like, 1998? This isn't even my genre but I will go well outside of my comfort zone in order to hear something as outstanding as this. Vinnie is a gift!
The quality of the mainstream music back then was in a different universe compared with today, we've all been fed garbage for the last couple of decades.
The swing and dynamics in his playing is spine chilling. Wow.
This whole album was AWESOME!!!
Thank the Gods Sting left the classroom where he was an English teacher, and honored us with so many songs...and memories. 💜🤗✌💕Sting
Hello maris
How are you doing?
It's a pleasure to have you here!
That's how to sing with drums. Perfectly nice duet with Sting's beautiful voice.
Incredible songwriting and musicianship seemingly hidden in a "simple" song. What a treat to the ears this is. Beautiful drum work, the keys and guitar adding tension in the verse, and then the calm of the chorus. I love it. Absolutely master class production and playing. This is what makes me happy to be a musician.
Well said and TRUE!
You said it perfectly, I believe every musician can reach this level of musicianship if they get out of their own way and let the music take control!!!!
This is a masterpiece. Period.
Love this song. Masterclass in chord progressions.
From 2.57 I always dream to be Dominic Miller's hands, fabulous arpeggio !!!🤩
Habe es heute auf dem Rad zufällig nach langer Zeit in einem Podcast wieder gehört, mein Herz ging auf, sehr selten: Gänsehaut.
VINNIE!!
Ayo what a surprise!
Can we all agree on Master Colaiuta?
I hope Sting reads this. When these songs came out, it was the lowest of my life, yet my best in a way, Thank you for this album. it really had a big influence on my life at the time. I learned to love animals., be aware of family, and to give to the community at this time. Thank you.
I thought that loving animals comes naturally
I can listen to this song over and over again. Great song!
Me too
You can’t quantise this kind of genius on a drum machine. Only humans can have feel and genius like this.
The sound of rain falling onto puddles is here vividly painted in sound, exquisite
Can't stop listening. Love the lyrics and the drums. All his songs have meaningful lyrics
Sting is genius when it comes to song writing and with such English clarity in vocal makes him easily the best singer song writer in the world.
Hail to you Mr. Sting!
This whole album was an absolute masterpiece,
and there are not a lot of true masterpieces out there.
Damn, Vinnie adds so many tasty details to such a simple groove! He's undoubtedly a genius. Love to hear the man play.
Yep.
you ever hear about the rumour about Vinnie making a deal with the devil?? lol
Illuminati drummer so phenomenal
Simple groove?! Are you serious?!
Yeah, 5/4 not really all that simple.
What a gift to humanity. Music is worth living for.
A tasteful song with a tremendous amount of musical substance. Vinnie’s dynamics and agile chops really embellish this song. From Vinnie’s mouth this is done in 5/4.
The level of jealousy towards Sting is...like the man is a genius certified! A magical elf who goes into the forest and comes out with a song. TF are these dislikes? Songwriting machine and picks the best musicians in the world. It's not his fault that his face is spectacular to top... and your wife wants to sit on his face lol. Blame his parents.
Loooool 😅
that drummer was spot on. the whole composition was amazing. something about sting always strikes me as genius. i love his eternal quest through all genres of music, finding harmony with all the talents in the world.
The drum groove with style and everything. Only Colaiuta can do it
I will see you tonight!!!! 💛🖤💛🖤💛🖤
This is the most beautiful song ever written about procrastination! As a timid procrastinator, who has been in love with a woman for years, and not been able to marshal the courage to tell her how I feel, this song speaks to me on such a deep level.
***** Been there, done that...
+Drake Santiago Go for it Drake!
+Carey Cox
Right, you don't want to die knowing you never approached her.
+Carey Cox
What a tragic thought.
+Drake Santiago It took me 47 years but I told her in 2010. She did not feel the same as she is too good of a person to say that back to a (very committed) married guy. (In love only twice but both times for life) Life can be very complicated.
The perfect song...and more: it's a 5/4!
That's just a room full of happy right there. Needed this!
Gorgeous song and Vinnie Colaiuta, you're the man! You make the drums sound like a hot cup of cocoa on a cold winter day.
THE MASTERPIECES STING!
This is probably my favorite song... ever.
This Harkonnen fella sure knows how to write a tune.
Beautiful Feyd

lol! had read your replies see how many got it ;)
The lyrics in this song are perfection. The performance of them sublime. The music intricate and beautiful. The man behind it uncannily the only being alive capable of pulling it all together to intertwine into and beyond a masterpiece.
Beautifully said.
Agreed100%
Until now , every song I've heard of Sting I can say that he creates masterpieces by writing beautifully with no vulgarity , deep and amazing vocal and great lyrical melody !
One of the best albums ever made
Musicians at the top of their game
Beautiful lyrics, beautiful music, beautiful person. I love Sting and other artist of this genre of music. Timeless!
"The fact he's over six feet ten / might instill fear in other men / but not in me, the mighty flea (flee?) / ask if I am mouse or man / the mirror squeaked, away I ran / he'll murder me in time for his tea" The singer reveals his physical and social intimidation, acknowledging his own delusion and cowardice - without surrendering his poetic nature. And somehow it's hilarious to me. I laugh every time. Genius songwriting.
(Also, those who owned Ten Summoner's Tales in physical format and read the lyrics will know I didn't make up "(flee?)")
He'll always be the king of pain, never forget, lad... he never hid his torment...
wait -- im lost -- is that the words he is singing - sounds like somebody's poem to me -- DUH ? hahehahehahe
@@user-du7pe6pm7d Ah wiz loast too, lad!!!
then that CHORUS! then , THAT BRIDGE!!!! swoon swoon swoon everytime

STING ................MIX EXISTOS..............GRANDE MAESTRO ...............UN GENIO............ARGENTO ................2O23.........
Я мрію, щоб війна закінчилася, і я зі своєю дівчиною зіграли весілля. І ця пісня на ньому буде, бо через неї ми і познайомились. Я в гурті грав кавери Стінга, а вона просто їого обожнює. Містер Гордон, дякую вам дуже!
Dear Sting,
If by chance, you'd read this, I'll gladly let you know your music is absolutely timeless. And I love it
Nearly 25 years listening to this gem and vinnie is still master puppeteer. His pockets just sound better
Most beautiful song for me
I love the time signature of this song.
Holy Crap... Gives me goosebumps every time I hear VC on this. Great song
Simply brilliant lyrics! And then there's the musicianship! The chorus is a work of art in itself. And "Woe is me." 😉
Yes, lyrics are high, Mighty flea😊
Pure High Definition
5拍子のテンポがこれほど心地良いとは。
Vinnie Colaiuta is from another 🌍. Amazing
I Love Sting! What a composer singer and musician! Fantastic!
SSSSS: Sting Songs sounds so soothing.
This one has a GREAT lyric:
"Ask if I am mouse or man?.........The mirror squeaked, away I ran......"
LOVE this song, and this whole album!!! One of my fave albums EVER!!
Vinnie... This never gets old.
How brilliant is this. Sting was there with the Police in my musical infancy, now in my elder years there's still classics like these. Lucky to be alive during his career
Vinnie's the only drummer I've found that can play incredibly complicated lines without overbearing the song
This album is so hideously underrated in my opinion.
When you're so good your music video is an actual live performance.
This beautiful melody gliding through 5/4 overlaid with more syncopation. These guys make it sound so easy.
