I got in too late the first time. Caught it this time. Well worth it. I can’t pretend to completely understand exactly what’s going on with that music—the form is sometimes difficult to discern/follow—but man the energy and creativity behind the performance is something to behold. Playing in control and staying inside the song with that kind of raw expression is on a whole other plane. It’s very inspiring to watch. Will be tuning in for the next.

This was nice and it works.

The stuff with Damien feels a bit overplayed, one dynamic type of thing.

Damn, Vinnie plays a sweet ass nice solo here, damn !!!

At 0:38...

Currently a bit obsessed with this tune:

My favourite tune.

Been obsessed since it came out. The intro is anticipation and intensity at it's finest.

Pretty much the last album that gave me a kick.

Music as it should be. Groovy, improvised, dynamic, expressive, organic.

Hi Guys, Anyone know what those white drums are that Vinnie's using on MuseTV? By the way, really enjoyed MuseTV !!!

When Vinnie got back with Gretsch they had some old Jasper shells lying around, so he got a full shell pack all or most sizes of them. So, USA Customs, but old stock Jasper shells and no suspension. Seems he mostly still uses his common fusion sized 6-piece, but I've seen pitures of him using 12/13/16/18/24 in the studio and I guess he was using a 20" BD on the Visual Sound thing.

Snare is if course his new signature. I haven't tried it in person yet, but I guess with the 45 degree edges and so on it's an attempt to do something between the old hammered brass he was using a lot(my main drum as well) but with a bit of woodiness from his old sig. I wasn't too impressed with the drum sound when I saw him with Herbie this summer, but that snare sounds fab in the LiveMuse video.

I guess it's how it must be done, but I wish it was possible to watch or just listen to it offline.

Nice .. Thanks for clearing that up. To my ears they sound pretty dang super! Guess that Jasper must really add spmething special :] plus Vinnie's tuning and touch obviously

He actually got all of those white Jasper shell drums way back before he left Gretsch for Ludwig.
