Drum Lesson : Vinnie Colaiuta fill from Baked Potato (www.joecrabtree.com)

[@Landon_R]

Just found your channel....I also love Vinnie Colaiuta and I'm glad you detail some of his stuff for us. Thanks, and keep up the good work!

[@thaikramom]

Monstrously played, Joe, and great ears, too. Thanks for taking Your time recording and posting it. Always looking forward for more Don Vincenzo licks :)

[@checono24]

do you have it written down ?

[@kritza555]

I just found out about your channel. I have been searching for licks and cool fill for a long time and your explanation is very clear. Subscribeeed !!!

[@DrumsTheWord]

This is awesome!

[@shannonandthereunion]

Very cool drumming sir. I thank you for today's inspiration. I think I will be watching this one again soon...

[@BarefootAndrew]

Hi Joe. I love the fact that you can transcribe, then learn to play and explain all this amazing stuff. But I worry about what must be going on between Vinnies ears for him to come up with it in the first place!

[@BeakerArk]

Excellent presentation of this lick. You're right. . not so sure where i'd use it, but i'm sure gonna try to learn it.

[@wernerlp3]

That's really cool. Not just that usual stuff. Amazing. Like it very much!

[@joecrabtreedrums]

@thinjointmortar it's a Zildjian K dry ride

[@joecrabtreedrums]

@gbc520 Thanks, though I'm playing it with a double pedal :) Check out the original video (link in the description) to see Vinnie do it.

[@luckyluciano93]

woah! u're great dude! I've never seen anyone so brave to teach Colaiuta's fills! xD

[@joecrabtreedrums]

@carlrobinson114 It's because if you just say 1 a + e you may not know which a + e are being talked about. It's also quicker than saying "the and of 1, the e of 2 and the and, err of 4". Also, and probably most importantly, I don't always know what the accents are, so I'm saying it for my benefit ;)

[@kermitwatkins9294]

Great lesson joe. Im gettin it down pretty good I think. Ive also got that vinnie groove down . been working on that for a couple weeks now. The bass part is tricky. Thanks for the videos your a great drummer.

[@santulipsyco]

YOU RULE MAN!!!! Keep on teaching!!!!!

[@Blofeldrummer]

you're a very very very good teacher!!

[@hugensjr]

Nice playing man! Very well explained!

[@joecrabtreedrums]

@BarefootAndrew I wouldn't worry about it :) Years of playing, messing around with a lot of Gary Chaffee stuff, doing 3 sessions a day. That's what it comes down to. I'm basically writing down what a poet says so you can say it too. I'm not writing poetry. i'm hoping that by reading enough poetry it'll inspire me to come up with new ideas of my own.

[@bobbystockerdrums]

Great job Joe!! You are really good at transcribing!! It is my weakest point,I am horrible!!LOL!!

[@joecrabtreedrums]

@alessaul03 I can't post links in the comments, but I posted the Baked Potato vid on my Facebook page a couple of days ago. You can get the link to my Facebook page in the video description.

[@joecrabtreedrums]

@TurboDrum My pleasure :)

[@steldrums87]

you 're incredible man...great lesson...keep up the good eork

[@zubenubi391]

You are the best Vinnie style player:)))

[@joecrabtreedrums]

@LOLE1991KOVIN It is good, but I have a feeling when I use my 22 A Custom I'm going to end up hitting it way too hard!

[@joecrabtreedrums]

@tdrum21 Check the video description... I put it in there

[@lee16ify]

You're good teacher,congrulations :)

[@rlbrett]

Vinnie is a mad man!

[@SinisterSkip]

Another CRISPY Vinnie fill "Break it down with Joe!"

[@bashwhack]

hi the Vinnie link on this has vanished now ...it got taken down : ( i got this pattern working today.The key thing to note is lead the doubles (in the last bar) with right foot or you end up on your left.I had the habit of playing all "e" and the "a" in all phrases with a left foot .... :)

[@joecrabtreedrums]

@antoniglesias Check out the MasterClass section on my website (link in the video description). I have an hour long video on bass drum technique in there.

[@TurboDrum]

thx for such a helpful vid, man!

[@joecrabtreedrums]

@wojciech987654321 it's a Zildjian K dry ride

[@tdrum21]

Do you still have the original video link of him playing this? If so could you post it up. I remember seeing on here before I believe.

[@joecrabtreedrums]

@isaacleedrums Thank you :)

[@joecrabtreedrums]

Thank you :) There's a lot of stuff on my website too ;)

[@ieha07]

gorgeous

[@CyberIllusions]

This was just mindblowin'!! ;-)

[@bashwhack]

great :) keep them coming

[@jordym9999]

What's that ride sir?

[@joecrabtreedrums]

@jhonthedrummer Click the link in the video description

[@MikeHorneMusic]

Yeah, nice stuff man, thanx alot... Subscribed!...

[@evanpetkau7329]

I think vinnie might use a single pedal for this fill? I could be wrong, but i think he generally uses single pedal for fills of that nature judging from various videos of his drum clinics.

[@antoniglesias6385]

@pfefftube Yeah! i found it out just after coment... thank's for your time and for your videos too!

[@joecrabtreedrums]

@Hamgammy Nice :)

[@upbeatmantis86]

dayummnnn... 5 star man... Im a weckl fan, but i realize Vinnie has some serious chops/ideas there.. he may not have the fluidity of weckl, but his playing is certainly out of this world.. no wonder he is a drummers' drummer...

[@stretch54]

Weckl plays more clinical. Vinnie comes at drumming in a more humorous way and with attitude and balls.

[@twelge15]

Except Vinnie plays it with one foot.

[@sonortubelug3853]

Wishbone ash are not impressed.

[@carlpahlrobinson]

why do all drum teachers think that its helpful to sound out all 1ea+2ea+ etc and just say one of them louder? soooo annoying!!! just say the ones you want us to know!!! its confusing!!

[@64bbfan]

I think I just puked through my nostrils
