He also played a Frank Zappa instrumental just by sight reading the music charts, and during the audition turned the page of sheet music, popped a piece of sushi in his mouth and pushed his eyeglasses back up in one motion.

Vinnie managed to capture a really Copeland esque drum part and turned it into something unique and downright brilliant, an absolute great of drumming

Man, I just don't know if Stew C could play this song like Vinnie did. Closest to this is Bring on The Night or maybe Murder by Numbers. This work by Vinnie is really exceptional drumming. I think this is one of the toughest and best drum parts in Rock (to do it well).

Thats a great phrase to describe it

Vinnie's playing is just soooooo tight. He grooves like he's on rails.

Can somebody do a life documentary on Vinnie please? Vinnie?

One of the greatest and most original drum grooves ever. This man translates genius into drumming.

I think this has to be one of the fucking coolest grooves EVER. In the history of western music. Fucking genius. Vinnie makes this 5/8 pulse sit down and almost feel like 4/4 with the accents, back beat, and over the bar-line phrasing. It's like listening to Joe Garage: it melts my brain and makes me want to scream with excitement, frustration, awe, and the crushing knowledge I won't ever be in 20th as good as Vinnie.

Reading and “speaking” the language of music has always been Vinnie’s forte. 50 years of practice and playing it is what you’re hearing when he performs. A true master.

Joe's Garage... 'nuff said. Vinnie is legend.

Thankful for Sting for adding that swing part in the chorus so I can rock to it. Love this song and the drum pattern/time signatures. Vinny said, "Ok Sting. I got this."

He’s just unreal. I’ve been inspired by him since the 80’s.

OMG... HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Colaiuta is from out of this world!

Vinnie has transcended time and pulse!

Vinnie killin it as per usual, ya got to admit though between Copeland, Omar Hakim and Vinnie, Sting has had some killer drummers backing him.

These are the type of people that actually think they are better drummers than they are. They love to tell everyone how to play but, can’t take advice themselves. Bunch of insecure fools. Vinnie is a great creator of beats. Enjoy!

Clever beat. 5/4 with dynamics and embellishments sparsed up so that people wouldn’t clap along. Vinnie has created a style of drumming unmatched. Thanks for sharing. You have a cool last name like some people I know. Ha!

Just such beautiful grooving playing, Vinniful.

I tried to pat out "4 over 3" with my hand doing the 4 and my foot the 3, and I ended up with cramps in both lol kudos to Vinnie and all the rest of you musicians out there- mad respect!

I've just had a go at doing a cover of this. listening and working out the different parts to play into my keyboard and adding piano. It took me 5 days as for some of the drums I had to record bar by bar.

"He's one of the most amazing sight-readers that ever existed on the instrument. One day we were in a Frank rehearsal, this was early '80s, and Frank brought in this piece of music called "Mo 'N Herb's Vacation." Just unbelievably complex. All the drums were written out, just like "The Black Page" except even more complex. There were these runs of like 17 over 3 and every drumhead is notated differently. And there were a whole bunch of people there, I think Bozzio was there. Vinnie had this piece of music on the stand to his right. To his left he had another music stand with a plate of sushi on it, okay? Now the tempo of the piece was very slow, like "The Black Page." And then the first riff came in, [mimics bizarre Zappa-esque drum rhythm patterns] with all these choking of cymbals, and hi-hat, riffs, spinning of rototoms and all this crazy stuff. And I saw Vinnie reading this thing. Now, Vinnie has this habit of pushing his glasses up with the middle finger of his right hand. Well I saw him look at this one bar of music, it was the last bar of music on the page. He started to play it as he was turning the page with one hand, and then once the page was turned he continued playing the riff with his right hand, as he reached over with his left hand, grabbed a piece of sushi and put it in his mouth, continued the riff with his left hand and feet, pushed his glasses up, and then played the remaining part of the bar. It was the slickest thing I have ever seen. Frank threw his music up in the air. Bozzio turned around and walked away. I just started laughing." - Steve Vai

I would say that if he is good enough for Frank Zappa, he's good enough for me, but let's face it… This guy is one of the most incredible drummers alive. I completely tried to rip his high hat technique. Ended up sounding like a mix between him, Phil Collins, and Stewart Copeland :-)

Magic

Hums along, changes from 5/4 to 4/4 and back to 5/4 and explains the beat along the way. Vinnie, stop it already! You're frightening me! ;)

Wow this guy is.....good! :)

Probably my favourite drum performance of all time. I always called it soft wrist or just playing just a microbeat off the beat. I’m a keyboard player and vocalist, what do I know? Fascinating to hear him explain it. May well be the song I want played at my funeral, not because of Sting, but because of Vinnie.

Genius.

His playing and speaking over it is his tribute to benard purdie who was the only drummer to have done this prior. Coliauta really lets it all hang out here but his exhibition annd exuberance isnt his values. He stopped doing masterclasses and he expressed that he did ao because he didnt ascribe to sellimg information this way. He didnt want to sell himself as a model of playing but instead he wanted playing to ve what other drummers wanted to do. I know as a drummer, whem i play its when i let my expression on the instrument happen. Coliauta.hasnalways shown that value in his playing. It is discernable in hisnearly years his playing certain systems and habits of study but quite quickly and historically uniquely he established himself as a unique drummer when he btound voice in his practice. I encourage in any musician, take inspiration where it lays but always pursue ntindingnyour own voice when you can too. When.i practice with a guitar player and he or she stops the session to return to a bar where they got the chord wrong i feel im not eoth my peers. When i play with a band that plyas through their errors but audibly correct amd adjust throughout the performance without gull stop, thats when i know im with musician's. Coliauta can spwak over his playing, bit his band is as credible as he is
