Vinnie Colaiuta / Alan Parsons 3

[@Tranarpnorra]

Man, I love Vinnie. He's the master of our time and will go down as one. Every day he's around is a great day. 50% crazy, 50% cool, 100% talent. 200% you say! Well, that's Vinnie for you.

[@nikoshatzimichael984]

200% badass!

[@GaddStuff]

Great groove. My thoughts are that when Steve Gadd and Steward Copeland had a child than the result was Vinnie Colaiuta. He has the skills, the groove and his energy is like a young dog. From Zappa to Chick Corea to Sting enz. He would fit in with Toto also. Awesome drummer.Respect!

[@BurrenSHdrums]

Exact intensity, exact time, exact attitude. Perfect grooving

[@thomshere]

One of THE best drummers of all time! Amazing just amazing drummer and nice guy as well!

[@praxisdev1884]

Everything he plays is just so frigging delicious. Great mini lesson on feel and balance.

[@sethwexler6910]

He’s on a different planet than the rest of us mortals. Dare I say the greatest living drummer today.

[@hugolafhugolaf]

And that, folks, is how a simple 4/4 groove becomes a masterpiece at the hands of Vinnie.

[@trieck]

He doesn’t seem to come out of that fill in 4/4...at all...weird.

[@scottsmothermon63]

That is not 4-4,it's triplets over a syncopated 2-4 groove

[@caspervanhelvoirt]

0:53 he definitely plays 6/4 groove hahah

[@Bluejay-ri1yf]

@@trieck He comes out on the 3 and plays with the time around a bit

[@nickb1796]

Everything vinnie does sounds phenomenal.

[@teddys3558]

The great mad scientist of drumming! He’s just in another category from other drummers. AMAZING!

[@drumstudio2000]

His pocket is just out of this world. Ive measured his tempo with a bpm app, its just crazy how accurate it is. Almost "inhuman but so human", at the same time.

[@Strangeadio]

Holy shit, the dream hahaha

[@davidperez5089]

Born with a pair of sticks waiting for him!!

[@johnknight5485]

Playing with Frank will get you there

[@Thedrummersalmanac]

It’s amazing how flawless he is... astounds me every time!

[@administration8961]

and he's been doing it for 50 years.. amazing.. lol

[@Groonblatt]

All about feel. Vinnie's got it in spades. A pure natural.

[@chezchezchezchez]

Natural? He worked extremely hard. Shdh

[@edoardozampetti4601]

note how despite Vinnie holding his forearms almost still, the effectiveness of drumming as a highlight is amazing unlike many other drummers who seem to chase away mosquitoes with their movements

[@jazzyboy7784]

I agree with you...I play similar...a lot of wrist movement...hate when I see drummers with their arms flying all over the place...lol.

[@RandyHanley]

He can play anything an make it sound miles better than it would typically sound.

[@donaldroby8746]

Thank you Vinnie.. given the true.

[@pepe7drum]

Vinnie "thats feel" Colaiuta

[@roryobrien8509]

Love Vinnie.

[@earldrum]

Thanks for the short Vinnie video. I wish you had more of this one, but thanks for posting. I love that beat up Paiste Traditional China crash!

[@larrytate1657]

Rare Vinnie lesson type footage. He doesn’t rly like teaching much. But man he is one of the best players.

[@rickpennington2335]

Great video, thanks for posting. Vinnie is the man !

[@lapamful]

Man? I thought it was Rosie O'Donnell at first.

[@ianhgrs3393]

Genius...

[@dejd]

jesus christ that bass drum sound is... so good

[@therealsanostante]

dado Yes it does. He has a Yamaha sub kick on it, but in this video you are only hearing the live sound so I don’t know his secret.

[@justhadrums]

The secret is that a Gretsch USA Custom bass drum is the best sounding in the biz and he knows just the right way to pull the sound out of it with the beater as he also does with sticks on the toms, snare, and cymbals.

[@ronaldent5781]

A very well developped right foot :-) And a lot of talent. :-)@@therealsanostante

[@YuTuboTuTubas]

Surely is not the typical granma pillow

[@miles-178]

that bass drum!!!!! maaaaaan !!!!!!! killiing

[@rhythmista7707]

Vinnie, please oh please lose that mega gut you have.. We need you for much longer, and in good health...

[@AlexMPruteanu]

Nah, makes him look more like the Buddha of Drumming that he is. I say carry on, enjoy life.

[@rodrigosoares7126]

My idols are getting old... and so do I...

[@slimyelow]

That wrist motion is just what good modern drummers, who practice daily are about.

[@ferdinandwang1165]

If I remember correctly, Vin uses the Moeller method, which encourages using all limbs associated with drumming in order to play forever. Meaning, nothing is isolated. One not only uses the wrists, but the arms and shoulders as well.

[@MyriamMbaya1]

Your mom made a mistake

[@surverain]

this is high level

[@nathanwalsh3028]

I swear that dude could play a wet paper towel with Chinese noodles and make it sound amazing!!

[@jktunney]

"that's feel" - Vinnie

[@aenima3174]

We're not worthy! We're not worthy! 🙇‍♂️

[@dillonpearl6786]

Best drummer

[@tylee5291]

It's Vinnie. Nuff said.

[@elmhurst86]

What?!?!?!?! Vinnie Colaiuta has a great feel when he plays?!?! Who knew?

[@drumlover1687]

There really is no such thing as a "basic groove" when Vinnie is playing it.

[@michaelgreen5206]

Virtuoso drummer here, folks!

[@phillamoore157]

OMG! That was WAY too short…lol. I’ve never seen Vinnie in a setting like that. So, you were incredibly fortunate to get a lesson like that. The particular lesson he was talking about Jeff Porcaro talks about in his one video, in depth. 👍. Very cool of you to share. Thank you!

[@viti_vitale]

what cymbal is the one on his left? that thin crash a bit irregular

[@einarabelc5]

This is what happen when you don't give up your acoustic Drumkit. He got ejected from many apartments, now he's the one making all the music.

[@suddothfx]

Is there any more of where that came from?

[@bailey12444]

The master

[@udomatthiasdrums5322]

still love it!!

[@karlhungus8841]

Totally. Yeah

[@ibbumpn]

Where is Vinnie Colaiuta / Alan Parsons 4?

[@bailey12444]

Master

[@Stavros_Meggos]

oh man.. he should do clinivs more often...

[@isaacleedrums]

Dang that homeless guy really shreds the kit

[@hugolafhugolaf]

Bwahahahah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@KONAMAN100]

Id 4 sure launch a shekel his way if i spotted him on the street

[@winterfisch5035]

See you have no idea who that is you ignorant.

[@billijiran5995]

See you have no idea which is a joke or not.

[@KONAMAN100]

he needs to trim that barnet and work on that shape a bit, sheezus

[@RJ-ox8on]

Damn Vinnie make it swing yo

[@lesliefrayles]

❤❤

[@fuzzylogiceire]

Seems to be a rare clinic from Vinnie. Correct me if I'm wrong but he barely does this kind of thing anymore.

[@therealsanostante]

not a drum clinic but a recording clinic with Alan Parsons

[@kalamia1000]

If its not Mr. Colaiuta- it could be better.

[@KONAMAN100]

Arggggh only 1 min 7 secs

[@pouzzler]

What has that to do with Alan parsons? Clickbait or am I missing something?

[@therealsanostante]

your missing that it was at an Alan Parsons workshop. Clickbait??

[@raymondmorford4514]

Pizza vinnie?

[@roww10]

Vinny is the man but I'm not feeling the long hair hermit look. I like the short hair with glasses Vinnie. You know, absolutely yes, I'm the master of this instrument look. I guess father time eventually gets us all. I'm 56, so I know the battle. I like my idols to stay the same forever. Not getting that, oh well.

[@musicmusic6595]

now there is a guy who puts players like virgil donati to shame, true all rounder.

[@ShakenStirred]

I like good drumming when I'm drinking!

[@RickCostello]

Not bad.

[@konstantinm7194]

Alan Parsons 3 what???

[@andy80sdrums]

ColaiuDa? Seriously?

[@JoeLackey]

Wow. Vinnie really let himself go.

[@pesto9]

Fanny-pack overdose.

[@gringochucha]

We grow old, our bodies decay. Get over it.

[@rslevitt]

True. But that does not mean we can't slow the progression with a healthy lifestyle. Vinnie has been a smoker, likely for most of his life. With that, it's likely he's not the greatest eater. I wanna see Vinnie around and well for as long as possible. So, I hope he is taking care of himself as best he can.

[@woweffet]

Thats no business of yours you superficial pathetic fuckface.

[@rslevitt]

jolly herb thank god for the internet. Because it allows people like you to be complete assholes from the safety of their own computers and phones. Go fuck yourself.

[@dnalpuca1236]

Hate those fill in... c’mon vinnie:)

[@jeffjones9813]

What a crap drum sound

[@edwardk3]

It didn't seem that great

[@regaltip8A]

What a lot of drummers dont have are those supple wrists. Alan Parsons take note the live drummer in your touring band is atrocious. Stiff and I was shocked at the level of his playing. At least you are smart enough to use Vinnie on your album. His skill level and musical intelligence really leaves a lot of drummers behind.

[@macduvet6397]

I’m sure Alan will take note when the great “Villaboy” is conveying his brilliance. The touring drummer also recorded “The Secret” and is fantastic. Always some random asshole Troll in the comments. Pathetic

[@colinblades3474]

@@macduvet6397 couldn’t agree more. The fact that this clip has nothing to do with the Alans live drummer leads me to believe this Villaboy is a shitpig troll. Alan can hire anyone he wants and his current drummer without a doubt is simply bad ass. Get a life and a clue Villaboy you angry shitpig troll.

[@Hhhlll7778]

This guy is so overrated...not saying he is bad but there are hundreds of better drummers that are only teenagers

[@therealsanostante]

Dude, Vinnie walked in and was handed those charts 30 minutes before this video was shot. That’s more talent than a stadium of teenagers.

[@farshimelt]

I guess Zappa made a mistake when he hired Vinnie, after all there were hundreds of teenagers that could have done the gig for a a couple bucks and a pepsi. OK, Thomasgipsy, the men in the white coats are here to take you back.

[@mojodrum3215]

Hundreds of better drummers that are only teenagers? Obviously you don't understand what drumming is all about so amateurish.

[@SimulacronX]

You don't know what you're talking about.

[@GaryRinaldi]

Just go away. You obviously don’t understand Vinnie’s mastery. The teenagers you speak of can learn a lot from Vinnie regardless of how good their skills are.
