Sting w/ Vinnie on Letterman!
Re: Sting w/ Vinnie on Letterman!
Vinnie has been hitting VERY hard over the last 10yrs or so. What happened to the Bruce Lee technique? In the Beck at R Scotts Dvd he's got the earplugs jammed in his ears and he's hitting the drums ala Aronoff. I miss the more fluid, graceful strokes with the same intensity and volume. Just sayin..

I do love how Vinnie still manages to squeeze in things like those at 2:52, but otherwise the thing as a whole was quite boring to me.
Its not the drummer's fault, the song they picked was really lame (IMHO). On the other hand, I don't understand how people in this forum will get so fanatical at times about Vinnie Colaiuta.
Its like, "oh Vinnie just touched his hi hat I'm having an orgasm". I mean, yes he did a good job (imo) but c'mon, relax.

Vinnie touched his hi-hat?
When?
How?
Why?
I'm gonna go touch my hi-hat, too. Got some A Custom Mastersounds coming in. Should be here in a week or so.

I think if you really wanna feel it, you'd be better off with Bosphorus hi hats. Thats what the real champions are using nowadays...

... but this "slammin' the drums approach" gets to a point that it doesn't sound very musical and even tends to sound like overplaying.
I thought he played hard from day one, but it goes both ways. I've seen him lay soft, but having seen him in the 80s and 90s (live) I don't see a lot of difference. He's always hit fairly hard in my opinion.

I saw him last year for the first time with herbie hancock and I was expecting some blistering display of chops. I shouldn't have. He really touched the drums and made an almost perfect musical statement...
