Simply put, Vinnie Colaiuta is one of the greatest drummers to ever play the instrument. He's a MONSTER!
The best way we can learn from Vinnie (other than by watching) is to deconstruct his drumming vocabulary.
In this video, I've transcribed, note-for-note, of one of my favorite Vinnie performances ever (playing the tune "Goe" at the Baked Potato in 2000 with Greg Mathieson (Keys), Abraham Laboriel (Bass), and Michael Landau (Guitar)).
There's literally a LIFETIME of study here, so be sure to download the free pdf (link above) and pace yourself while learning Vinnie's vocabulary.
I've also included a "half-speed" version on my channel as well so that you can digest Vinnie's playing a bit easier.
PLEASE ENJOY!

Vamp / In-Head / Keys Solo / Guitar Solo / Bass Solo / Out-Head / Drum Solo
3 THINGS TO NOTICE
CONCEPT #1 : VINNIE PLAYS OVER-THE-BARLINE
Vinnie often plays "over-the-barline," meaning he's not tied to playing the downbeat of every measure.
CONCEPT #2 : VINNIE'S PHRASING
For example, Vinnie often resolves his phrases on the "+ of 7" rather than on the 1. Super hip!
CONCEPT #3 : VINNIE'S USE OF IMPLIED METRIC MODULATION
Vinnie also IMPLIES several time-feels / meters throughout. For example, notice when he plays groupings of 3 on the bell of the ride cymbal while still playing in 7!
