VINNIE - The thread about Colaiuta

[Kurtis]

Robin! To the bat mobile. Vinnie is killing it with rudiment snare drum skillage.

[Rodge]

That appears to be a completely different technique. What happened
to his unique left hand fulcrum...his thumb used to remain high, not cocked,
and his stick would sit very low in that cradle. Seems to be using his thumb
tip now for stroke/rebound.

I know what you mean, but in the same time, Vinnie had always used his thumb, his other fingers, his arms, shoulders for controlling the drumstick, or/and doing strokes with.

Well, he does it kind a, AWESOME if you ask me.

Most likely already posted but I don't recall seeing this.. very very intense with Chick Corea, Bob Berg, John Patitucci, Wallace Rooney in NY... Bad audio but man...

[Kurtis]

^^^ the 6of6 clip is absolutely insane! Holy shit

Vinnie on new Steve Perry Lp...

[Kurtis]

The Chameleon strikes again!

[Pocketplayer]

There is an interview where Steve who is a drummer wanted Josh Freese,
Steve Ferrone, and Vinnie...he really raved about wanting to work with
Vinnie. Steve does NOT sound like a 69yo cat...more like 40. Many of the tracks
were recorded years ago even tho the release is in Oct. VC on latest TOTO
and now ex-Journey man Perry. Josh really sounds good on No Erasin'

[Odd-Arne Oseberg]

Apparently this is Vinnie and Abe. I do understand that I didn't know or care back then, though.

[Julián Fernández]

Yep, that´s Vinnie.
