I heard a story from somebody who was present at SIR in Los Angeles in mid/late September during a drum testing session of sorts. Vinnie was testing a few, 4 or so, Ludwig kits. Apparently, he was unhappy was them. I don't know if he eventually choose something on that testing session or not, but one or some of those kits ended up at Hollywood Drumshop with a sign on it saying "Made for Vinnie Colaiuta!" As I understand it, he was none to pleased to have his name attached to drums he refused to play. He was quite unhappy with Hollywood Drum Shop and was also gone from Ludwig within a very short time.
Vinnie sounds unbelievable (again) in that video above! WOW.
