Vinnie is incredibly humble about the near unattainable bar he set during the span of his career, man. This dude been the G.O.A.T. since the Dukes Of Hazzard 🏆

Honestly the GOAT in modern music. What a super smart and nice guy. Everyone who knows, knows the contribution to drumming Vinnie has made. He really is an enigma. I mean, there is no one that could play all of those styles, cotrectly, on all of those records, with all of those artists. There is only one...

Vinnie = LEGEND. He’s a great guy too . There’s so much wisdom here . 🙏

Thanks all for the wonderful comments! #Vinnieforpresident

🌠Vinny Rocks !!! ....Go Zappa/ Beck...

Don Vincenzo, my man !!! #GOAT #CapoDeTuttiCapi Well done Curt, and merci for that show.

Vinnie is such a Wonderful Positive somewhat enigmatic person! We all know he can play drums that astound us.

Beautiful! Thanks, gentleman.

Gentleman, Thank you both!😊

You guys absolutely rule! Two amazing drummers but more importantly two amazingly thoughtful humans. ❤

Best wishes from Croatia 🙏🏻😇

Thank you Kirkee B! Fantastic episode. Really enjoyed how natural it felt for you and Vinnie to dive into all these drumming and life topics. Cheers! Bugs

Thank you both so much 😊

Wow. What a fantastic conversation from you two cats. Thank you so much Kirkee for sharing this with the rest of us. Kudos to you and to your channel!

Great conversation thankyou

Great interview

Thanks for the interview! Unfortunately Vinnie was NOT part of the "VHS Instructional" wave. I heard that Rob Wallis approached him many times but to no avail. His performance on the Buddy Concert inspired generations. He was also in the lesser known Jeff Berlin VHS back then. That was about it. GRP Super Live with Dave Grusin. Pickins were slim back then for Vinnie video footage because he didn't really want folks to examine his playing (I suspect).

True BUT….ANY video that he was a part of that the period became the visual study if this drumming maestro!

My brother had that Jeff Berlin video. His playing on the intro tune was absolute fire. I figure he didn't do a video because he was too busy doing something like 3 sessions per day to come up with a concept and write a script for an instructional video.

Awesome interview!👏

Great great show and interview!

In a group setting The drums are the most important instrument in every way. And I’m a keyboard player. You can also think that every instrument is a different kind of drum, but that’s another topic.

amazing musician, priceless advice for those who know its value

Yes, The Professor!

Thank you both for this interview!

_Breakfast with Vinnie_ is a good title.

Great interview! The thing about today is machines are trying feel like humans and humans are trying to feel like machines.

Incredible interview of a true legend!

Great podcast! Vinnie, you're the best! Thank you

This is great, two legends! Thanks Kirkee!

thanks for making this :)

I want to play with Vincenzo. And also talk. He is so right with every observation he shares here.

No way AI replaces Vinnie. F that BS.

Great discussions with lots of insights.

Thank you for this interview! It is fascinating but also worrying, what Vinnie is saying. He notices very clearly that the world is not moving in a good direction. Only the show counts - not the hard earned skills and the quality. If this is called "old school" fine, then I am old school too! I am glad that I had the privilege of seeing and hearing Vinnie Colaiuta live on stage - and experience the depth of his increadible capabilities. And I really hope to see him again - or is this the end of his career now? I hope not!

Two legends! Thank you for making this happen dude!

THANK YOU my guy!!!!!!

In 2019, I had the pleasure of seeing this cat take a drum solo for a whole verse of Mahavishnu’s You Know, You Know, on stage with Mr. Jeff Beck. Unbelievable drummer.

Well said Vinnie! 💯👍👍

Vinnie is the only Zappa alum who's not living in a car.

Thanks!!!

Vinnie the Heisenberg of Drums !!!

So what are Vinnie and Kirkee trying to get at? That many of today's drummers are all about blast beats and chops, or they are aspiring to play like their heroes. I want to play with a solid groove, in the pocket, with a little bit of spice thrown in when you don't expect it (like an extra kick or ghost note). I also am NOT Peart, or Copeland, or Colaiuta, or Philips, to name a few of my heroes. They all inspire me, but I still want to put my own signature on playing, even though I play drums for fun and as a hobby.

True Gods of drummer, wisdom-filled content indeed. But Kirk social media drummers...I ask one question, what music IE with other musicians have they played with or created? 95% haven't created any of the said aspects....

Go Kalamazoo! Great show!

It would be great, at this point, for Vinnie to talk a bit about his hands and feet, meaning his technique. How exactly does he hold the sticks, did his grip change over the years? and so on...

Where is Vinnie's link below, I want to know? please, thank you.

Kirkee - human interruptus

I think a beginner drummer would have trouble telling the difference between Vinnie, Dave Weckl, and Gregg Bissonette. But seasoned players can. It’s a bit unfair to say all younger players or instagram players sound the same, if you listen enough you can separate Maison Guidry and Mike Mitchell and Brian Evans

Salamat po!!!

You are the only Filipino DRUMMER who has played with a MAJOR RnB act. You broke the mold of the whole musical segregation thing . That along with those greasy grooves are why I consider you legend.

Vinnie trying to lower his iq to cope.

Its always a pleasure to hear from from the great Vinnie Boombatz!
