Just re watched this again today (for the 10th time) after Dom’s sudden passing. I am gutted. Dom & Vinnie here just so joyful & positive about the art of drums, music & life. Blessings Dom. 🙏 Blessings Vinnie. ❤️

I've always known Vinnie is one of the greatest drummers ever just by listening to his playing. I had never seen him interviewed before and have now learned he is very intelligent and articulate about music as an artform and his fears of the trends of the music industry and the commerce of it. Brilliant man, genius drummer.

He shared Frank Zappa's views on the commercial side of music.

Vinnie is amazing on so many levels. Unlike so many other in this industry, he's fully awake.

A wonder to watch Dom Famularo and Vinnie Colaiuta. What a conversation!

The interviewer is great, he gets out the way and let’s Vinnie talk, he doesn’t ask dumb questions.

What I absolutely love about this interview is that so many people think that it is some magical overnight success miracle. Vinnie shows how much work and passion it takes to get to that level.

Vinnie lays out some absolute TRUTH about the music industry in the last 15 or so minutes. What a sobering yet inspiring message!

Great interview! I am a retired physician / lifelong musician. It is remarkable how, in the span of a person's lifetime, the terra firma beneath your feet can shift like an earthquake. Believe it or not there are parallels in my professional life with the talented musicians in their profession who have seen their business model subverted by technology and change. Not always for the better. Dom and Vinnie are both passionate and articulate spokesmen for a calling which is threatened with near extinction. We need to take a stand now or be swept into the dustbin of history. Or that creativity and inspiration which has produced such inspiring music will by stifled by greed and power.

What I find interesting about Vinnie is that even his hand movements, as he talks, it is almost deliberate with accuracy.

I don’t even play drums and I got a chill when Zappa hired you.

12:37 I just love the Zappa story.

It's no wonder that Vinnie Colaiuta is the king of this whole world of drums, studio drumming, versatility, creativity and an impetus that few people have.

I had to revisit this interview. One of the best.... Rest in peace Dom.

For people who thought that Vinnie was a madman, this interview must be a surprise -- he is articulate and his thoughts about the industry -- as it is today -- are so wise. I enjoy Vinnie's playing a lot, and realize the incredible amount of work that he has put in it. I also admire the PERSON he is. Thank you for upping!

...his FZ audition story is GOLD......

Young kids! I’m ‘old’ retired and love this! The Philosophy of Study, Creativity & Skill, Result? Genius!

Vinnie Colaiuta mentioned Maria Schneider in an interview. My brain just exploded.

Wow. He's two years older than me but his beginings are the same as mine. Pots and pans, toy drum sets, the music on the radio being so unbelievable, the first drum lesson, ect. When I first saw drum music and started learning to read it, I couldn't get enough!!

I barely knew this man but this interview makes obvious that he’s got the mind of a genuine, true genius.

I had a privilege working with Vinnie on my album Sometime Soon. What a person, what a musician.... I love Vinnie for who he is what what he represents.

I always thought these famous session studio guys were all ego and elitist. Vinnie seems like Jerry Lewis. Like child like innocence. Very cool video. So refreshing. Thank you.

I always heard Vinnie was anti-piracy in regards to music. Hearing him speak about it, he is right on the money and incredibly articulate about it.

I usually don't watch interviews till the end. This was captivating.

Damn! I never realized what an intelligent dude Vinnie is! Great interview!

since he mentioned both guys.... it was wild to hear him play for Sting on a Sting / Peter Gabriel tour!

I'm a drummer and first introduction to Vinnie was I'm thinking was with Zappa, but loved him with Jeff Beck,and when Sting played in France! The guy is a legend!

I can watch Vinnie talk all day

I found myself "Glued to the TV", as they would say, while watching this intierview.. Vinnie is not only a world-class drummer, but articulate beyond measure,and a fascinating FACTUAL story-teller with a high-level of intelligence that is just off-the-charts. Interviewer Dom Famulero (who passed at the age of 72) is one of the BEST. His questions are very precise and focused. He was ALSO a world-class drummer, as can be found here on KZread. Not to mention, Dom authored a great book titled The Cycle of Self-Empowerment".

His account of the Zappa-auditon is so funny!!!

This made me cry...Vinnie's heart is right there..

Those who recognize the War have overcome it. Take back thine inheritance.

Ain't nothing anybody can say or add.....the guy could play them drums!! He held stick in Left hand like a jazz drummer....he was fast and pretty quick too!!!

No matter what your genre or background, Vinnie is in your top five. He is a beast!

Beautiful.

....This is one of the best interview I've ever heard by a musician of any caliber, talking about how the digital industry has rip off the hard working musicians, the musical industry need to be change...it's a crime, where is the money going too, because too many recording artist are hurting.This is indeed a very good interview.

I love Vinnie for being a sensitive and complete human being and one of the most intense musical drummer/musician in every setting without breaking the said "code". Great interview, thanks for sharing.

I feel like I became a better musician just by listening to this interview. I had the opportunity to see him and other great players in a master class; amazing.

My favorite drummer.

What’s amazing is these two architects are regular people and they laugh and tell jokes BUT then you hear the talent and your speechless… Vinnie need I say more?🤷🏻‍♂️

Vinnie Colaiuta speaks the utter truth about the music business! Refreshing! Signed as a signatory-done.

He sounds such a nice and humble guy, no doubt he is world class

This conversation is brutally honest, with an intelligent,plea to the next generations this is required listening that should inspire hope.

I've heard tain in a interview most humble guy ever,he's still my favorite jazz player.

God bless Vinnie (and Dom for his many years of education)

Vinnie is truly an eloquent speaker.

Who's cooler then Colaiuta eh' ...okay Frank. Great conversation Dom!

This interview is beautiful. I never comment on videos. I was so inspired after watching this that I had to say something. I came across Vinnie when I was was in 7th grade (1993). I make my living playing because of his influence and to hear him talk about about his story really is awesome. I hope someday I can be as cool as him. This whole interview is fantastic.
