At this particular event, at this point in time this was such an awe inspiring event and Vinnies drumming floored all of us. Also, keep in mind the context here. All the drummers who participated has admitted that they were extremely nervous. They were called upon to play in the honor of Buddy Rich two years after his death WITH his band! Players evolve and change through the course of 25 years. Check out Vinnie´s awsome big band playing in recent years and of course his legendary playing with Sting.
VC is an absolutely amazing Drummer....so many greats have come and gone and there are still so, sooo many greats with us....just enjoy the greatness of them all, and they wouldn't have done this if it wasn't for BR....
There is Vinnie and then there is everyone else!!! And I mean everyone else!!!! He can play any gig on any stage at anytime... oh yeah also reading the charts! No one comes close!!!!
You negative guys should stop writing comments and start practicing. Enter the woodshed and study. Play MUSIC. Don't get focused on "extreme drumming". Every pro I talk to confirms that Mr. Colaiuta seem to come from beyond this world. He is outstanding. To play drums means to play from within your deepest soul, with ultimate attitude coming with each stroke you do, may them be the softest or loudest you ever played. And your groove has to be played to reach the hearts of people listen to it.
Don't forget this was a "drum show" ... the main character here is the drummer, so in that context Vinnie played it perfectly! The whole band was great as well btw ... and this was 27 years ago ... most of the drummers that played the show are still performing .. and being as good as they were (if not better) !!!
WHATEVER YOU DO: DONT (D-O N-O-T) click on "Joan Rivers Showcase" Or have you already, and if so... am I right?! LOL Vinny IS "the man". INSANE to say the least! "4 people dont like this"? 4 people are arrhythmic
I'm not a drummer, but I usually watch through that whole video about 5 times a week. Not because I really want to, but because I'm forced to on account of the INSANE drumming and overall coolness of Vinnie. And of course that AWESOME 80's drum sound.
WTF, i have the chart for this tune, how does vinnie do that shit. He sees time as three or four dimensional. The little glance down at the chart near the end is just taking the piss as he then rips those next figures with great accuracy. What a legend, what a god damn genius!!
Nobody can play swing or latin or funk or pop like Vinnie . Best drummers of the world 1. Vinnie Colaiuta 2. Dave Weckl 3.Tom Brechtlien . 4. Other drummers .
they are triplets played on the snare drum: ride cymbal beats 1 2 3 4, snare drum fills in the triplets with his left hand on the snare drum, like this: 1tt2tt3tt4tt, where beats 1 2 3 4 are the ride cymbal, and the "tt" after beats 1 thru four are what make the ride cymbal and snare drum 8th note triplets or some people count 1-tri-plet 2-tri-plet... etc where 1 is the ride and tri-plet are the snare drum = continuous 8th note triplets between the ride cymbal and snare drum sweet!
Bankai2169 you're welcome. now if you were smart enough to actually answer the question, that would've been great. seems that you lack the IQ. sorry for the news.
Vinnie Colaiuta did session work for Megadeth a few years back, so he can also bang with the metal guys too. Apparently Dave Mustaine needed a better drummer than the ones heavy metal had to offer.
The absolute best way to enjoy ANY music related video on CZcams? Ignore the comments section. Just pretend it isn't even there. And this goes triple for drum performance videos.
so what kit is this? it looks like a recording custom but they were never made in white.... was this a custom color? or is it a different make of yamaha... just those lugs scream RC...
Thing is .... it's not ALWAYS about you Vinnie. When somebody else takes a solo, don't step all over them. Lay back man. If your always pounding your ass off then there aint no contrast.
Buddy Rich did do some pretty impressive stuff....but I hear a lot of people saying hes the best that ever lived, which i dont agree with.... as Buddy himself claims that he never practiced.
An exceptional drummer, probably in my top ten, also in my top ten are that drummer from Led Zepplin, Lars Ulrich and yes controversial Phil Collins. Fucking amazing drums though none the less. :)
I’ve returned and watched this so often that I’ve lost count. God dam it, it’s “that” good!
that is unreal. precise and inspired. The best that song has ever been.
You can watch this vid in 20 more years and will still be memorable.

the accuracy and the speed of the fill from 2:09 to 2:12 or 13 is......I remain speechless everytime I see this even if I watched this many many times
One hell of a Drummer right there. That hair flip, though...
Whatever. Vinnie OWNS!!
That kit sounds great
VC is an absolutely amazing Drummer....so many greats have come and gone and there are still so, sooo many greats with us....just enjoy the greatness of them all, and they wouldn't have done this if it wasn't for BR....
I never get tired of watching this performance.
This never gets old
Unbelievable as always!!
Solid...just solid! Bravo Vinnie!
Vinny great with the big band as well as in Corea Trio wow
Never get sick of this ...
Impecable.
There is Vinnie and then there is everyone else!!! And I mean everyone else!!!! He can play any gig on any stage at anytime... oh yeah also reading the charts! No one comes close!!!!
He fucking killed it. Fucking. Killed it.
One of the best drummer ever.
Vinnie.......i haven't words....
80s ! Love V. C.
Wow, listen to those hi-hats!!!
5:15 Vinnie was like, "killed it."
+semajgnik Yeah, he looks like a classical conductor :)
semajgnik.
mmmmmmmm
different ball game mate isnt it.
Then he thought - nextime I'll do it better
They all play better than us right? chuckles
great song!!!
Superb!
Of the three drummers present at this event--Vinnie, Weckl, and Gadd--I think Vinnie definitely plays most in the style of Buddy.
El vídeo que demostró al mundo entero quién es el mejor baterista del universo entero!!!. Dios bendiga a Mr. Vinnie Colaiuta!.
Vinnie el mejor!!!!
vinnie colaiuta un groso, se convirtio en unos de mis favoritos

Vinnie Colaiuta was young here ... and he played already as a god ! ... Definitivly the best with Dave Weckl ...
the best sense of rhythm on the planet. by far
BEAST!
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮
ABSOLUTE MADNESS!!!! Wow. Chop city.
colaiuta is much smoother than I imagined
How great is it to see Buddy's drum kit behind.
I think that is Louie Belson's kit in the back. Double kicks with LB on them
+AudioWonderland think you're right! Can see LB now !
Vinnie is one mother f-er of a drummer. Period.
yeah. but not in Swing
Effortless!!! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
It is not fair. Vinnie Colaiuta. He is not a fucking human. He just is not.
Don't forget this was a "drum show" ... the main character here is the drummer, so in that context Vinnie played it perfectly!
The whole band was great as well btw ... and this was 27 years ago ... most of the drummers that played the show are still performing .. and being as good as they were (if not better) !!!
Vinnie Colaiuta- A modern example for the next generation.
Amazing. Really drives the band.
He's fucking mad!! Ahhhhhh. Love that shit.
VINNY HANDS DOWN!!
this video is rad
Buddy would have loved this!
Smokin'!!!
he is a true drumgenous
Amyzing. Drummer
just 33 years .....
sick
Thanks Vinnie! I can die now.
Dan
Fucking perfect!
I'm just wondering who the hell can dislike this...
I managed to work that fill at 2:54 into an original tune. I love the way it flows.
Dang.....Im mad he's doing this in a suit....Good stuff!!!!!
Dang, he has one mean single stroke roll.
is it just like RLLRLR?
I want to learn
such a great fill, played so well.
This is THE HOT SWIIIINGGG....
The best drummers....like Vinnie? There's a reason why he's still the go-to guy.
Oh my -3
@sgunner29 No. Where do you get that idea.
just Vinnie....
Is this ridiculously out of sync for everybody, or just me?
Same
That's just vinnie shifting time.
It’s on time.
Stupid out of sync.
😂😵💫🤨I think it's just the acid maaaaaannn! 😂
DRUMLORD !!!
@Drumming2thelord Well said!
vinnie is the shit!!!
What snare is that?! Killer..
+Michael Nakamoto most of metal piccolos have that cranck. But snare doesn't play itself. I think it's normal snare with Vinnie's hands :)
@Drumming2thelord agreeed
Oh my God! Vinnie........
WHATEVER YOU DO:
DONT (D-O N-O-T) click on "Joan Rivers Showcase"
Or have you already, and if so... am I right?!
LOL
Vinny IS "the man". INSANE to say the least!
"4 people dont like this"? 4 people are arrhythmic
I'm not a drummer, but I usually watch through that whole video about 5 times a week. Not because I really want to, but because I'm forced to on account of the INSANE drumming and overall coolness of Vinnie. And of course that AWESOME 80's drum sound.
4:10 yeannhh sweet
WTF, i have the chart for this tune, how does vinnie do that shit. He sees time as three or four dimensional. The little glance down at the chart near the end is just taking the piss as he then rips those next figures with great accuracy. What a legend, what a god damn genius!!
You're living in the dark ages and commenting from within. This is kids stuff to what is performed by the best drummers now.
Is that Egon from ghostbusters on 2nd tenor?
That's Jerry Pinter. Steve Marcus on the first tenor. Eric Marienthal on 2nd alto, and Greg Smith on bari. Not sure who the lead alto player is.
Nobody can play swing or latin or funk or pop like Vinnie .
Best drummers of the world
1. Vinnie Colaiuta
2. Dave Weckl
3.Tom Brechtlien .
4. Other drummers .
3:06....STYLE ! ! !
they are triplets played on the snare drum:
ride cymbal beats 1 2 3 4, snare drum fills in the triplets with his left hand on the snare drum, like this:
1tt2tt3tt4tt, where beats 1 2 3 4 are the ride cymbal, and the "tt" after beats 1 thru four are what make the ride cymbal and snare drum 8th note triplets
or some people count 1-tri-plet 2-tri-plet... etc where 1 is the ride and tri-plet are the snare drum = continuous 8th note triplets between the ride cymbal and snare drum
sweet!
when he does the double hits on the kick drum between his runs, is that one pedal or two?
Yes.

best answer
Bankai2169
you're welcome. now if you were smart enough to actually answer the question, that would've been great. seems that you lack the IQ. sorry for the news.
Dambert L If you look at the bass drum itself and the hi hat during the runs, you'll see it's two pedals lmaooooo
that's not what i was asking, but thanks
i think jazz is more about improvisation than quietness
Vinnie Colaiuta did session work for Megadeth a few years back, so he can also bang with the metal guys too. Apparently Dave Mustaine needed a better drummer than the ones heavy metal had to offer.
Dave was just tired of playing with the kids, he needed the big boys.

Beethoven on drums.
no, Beethoven was Vinnie on the Piano.
Those drums would be a pile of fiberglass. Do you know what Beethoven did to pianos?
I Say rather Bartok !
Does anyone else have the audio off by 2 seconds?
4:09 what is he playing here? Alternating singles with snare and bass again or something different?
+Lorenz Müller That is what we call in metal a 'blast beat', indeed alternating singles with snare and bass/ride.
I figured it out. It's alternating triplets... That's all. But fast.
so what kit is this? it looks like a recording custom but they were never made in white.... was this a custom color?
or is it a different make of yamaha... just those lugs scream RC...
yeh i figured.
The audio and video were off
It's not a competition.
I wonder if there is a before clip of him saying "let me take off my glasses so I do not incinerate them with my awesomeness".
ho la la
Does Vinnie use Attack drumheads in this vid?
DAMN!!! WHAT IS THAT????
At 4:43 .....he turn his head and he looks at the partiture....
Thing is .... it's not ALWAYS about you Vinnie. When somebody else takes a solo, don't step all over them. Lay back man. If your always pounding your ass off then there aint no contrast.
LMAO !
thank you, the negative 3 is wrong.
This spanky drummer dude looks like some kind of combination of Marty Feldman and Count Dracula in a smart grey suit.... :))
5:15 Yeah, you KNOW I'm one of the best of all time.
Buddy Rich did do some pretty impressive stuff....but I hear a lot of people saying hes the best that ever lived, which i dont agree with.... as Buddy himself claims that he never practiced.
