This is also a testament to how much of a fucking badass Sting is to just stay cool and seamless while the baddest drummer in the world is just monster shredding over 5/8.........a mere few feet behind you.
..Vinnie talking: " The reason that we did that is because Sting wanted it to be that way...and the reason he wanted it to did be this way...He wanted the audience to be able to hear as being a pulse".....Well, genius serving to other genius... thats all...
nebkadune For sure.....I'm a huge Police fan going back to their first album and Sting always had this uncanny knack for just hanging in the pocket no matter what Stewart was doing. Such an underrated instrumentalist.
This clip shows very clearly, what an absolute master Vinnie Colaiuta is! When you analyze what he is doing here - it is just fantastic! I can watch him all the time. Never tired of his endles competence!
You can have your favs when it comes to style (Peart, Bohnam....etc.), but when it comes to all out technical players, Vinnie is probably world's greatest living drummer.
@@KONAMAN100 The dudes in the brackets have their own unmistakable style that captured the imaginations of generations of drummers and influenced more drummers/musicians than Vinnie ever will though. I'll take style/creativity over chops any day. Bohnam and Peart have all 3. Silly to diminish Peart in any way. He is probably the most "influential" drummer of all time.
@@carlgibbons5777 nah. Look at the people Vinnie has played for. Look at his versatility. This is what matters. You could pick a drummer from a pop band who sold millions more, but are they great, naaa. Unlikely. Not saying Peart or Bonham aren't decent, but without Rush or Zep where would they be. No contest.
@@KONAMAN100 I can see your point, there are certainly many drummers who are "all around" better players than Peart like Steve Smith even, but doesn't change the fact that Neil Peart is the most influential/popular drummer of all time and that is due to hi unique style. He's a master at coming up with drum parts that compliment the music while seamlessly transitioning between complex time signatures. He gets more "best drummer in the world" comments than anybody and that's because of his personal style/taste. I do give Vinnie all credit in the world as I'm the one that started this thread:) Vinnie is a much better all around player than Peart. No question.
Ten Summoner's tales, track 6. It was 1993 and I had just began playing bass. I had only few CDs back then...this one and The Police greatest hits were continuously playing on my CD player...bass plugged in...let's rock... I saw Sting playing live with different drummers several times since then...but Vinnie still remains the best of the best them all. bar none.
this is fugging GREAT. love the new arrangement / stops. also kudos to STING...you can see he gives Vinnie complete creative control,. its a beautiful thing ! man there are some intense build ups in there. whew.
Oh hell yes! That may be the best performance of 7 Days I’ve seen Vinnie do. Wow!! This is still my favorite song to practice as a drummer. So many different elements involved it’s truly genius. If you can play it well, you can damn well play lol. We’re blessed Sting recruited Vinnie!
you should check Saint Augustine in hell live, that´s another Vinnie dose for you, and please come back here and tell me what u think about that, 93 tour I think
ua-cam.com/video/xcXrSxcdHMs/v-deo.html here you have it, tell me later, one of the greatest performances from Vinnie, the quality sucks but thanks God is recorded on cam
Whenever someone asks me “What’s so good about Vinnie?”, this is one of the first clips I show them. Followed by about 3 dozen others. Then I slap them for being so insolent!
@@RoccoHernandez87 The amount of chops Vinnie displays on seven days alone is just ridiculous! Funny thing is his approach is actually very tasteful and works for the music...not overwhelming at all!
Like some guys already wrote, but Sting, Dominic and David Sancious just lean on Vinnie! Despite his enormous fillings and dominations of pulse and technical interpretation! ! Vinnie!!!
This is such a well written song! Great feel in 5/4 and I have to say the drumming is phenominal! 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.
This is the first time for while since I have watched something in complete awe and utter fascination. This was un-freakin-believable!! Cheers for the upload :)
I thought the same but actually that arrangement is made by the keyboard. Vinnies smiles at the guy. Look at that version in 1: 06: ua-cam.com/video/n5AMgW5yOkE/v-deo.html Sting looks at the keyboard player and nods. Anyway, great arrangement !!!
el día que no se me ponga la piel de gallina después de ver este tema tocado por Vinnie, ese día estoy oficialmente muerto / if I ever don´t get the thrill with this then I´m oficially dead
Vinnie Colaiuta много лет гениально вытягивал скучные программы Стинга и когда ушел, концерты Стинга проходят бледно!;) Долго не мог понять почему слушаю нудного, слащавого стинга? Да потому что барабанил Vinnie Colaiuta. 3 октября 2017 Sting в Олимпийском сравните. Там слушать не чего!
Autoservis Magistral полностью согласен! Я вообще изначально Стинга стал воспринимать только через игру Винни. Его партии такие интеллектуальные, не говоря уже о тайминге... пластинка 91 года на мой взгляд самое сильное что было в карьере Стинга
wow 2:03. I hate that kind of overplaying. It's like he doesn't even listen to the singer. And yes I know he played on the original. I don't know how Vinnie gets a pass on this kind of overplaying but guys bash Weckl for the same thing. I just think there are WAY more musical drummers than Vinnie.I saw him play with Jeff Beck and everything was so fast and chop ridden it just took away from everything. Sorry.
Yes it’s a little over playing but these guys play these songs over and over, maybe Sting said tonight let it loose. It’s over played but controlled, maybe show us how it’s done.
You have drummers, genius drummers, awesome freaking genius drummers... and then you have Vinnie! :D
This is also a testament to how much of a fucking badass Sting is to just stay cool and seamless while the baddest drummer in the world is just monster shredding over 5/8.........a mere few feet behind you.
Mike Patton (THE Michael Patton?) This. ^^^^

No one was expecting that keyboard run at 1:35. Made Vinnie giggle, which is lovely to see! :D
The Vinnie Colaiuta show, featuring that guy from The Police.
SpookyBaba lol
jajajajajajajaj!!! CORTA!
Uh that stings
ha ha ha!!! good one!
"that guy" who writes amazing songs. That genius.
Vinnie's drumming in this clip TOTALLY caught me off guard. He always amazes.
This clip shows very clearly, what an absolute master Vinnie Colaiuta is! When you analyze what he is doing here - it is just fantastic! I can watch him all the time. Never tired of his endles competence!
That was Vinnie's warm-up, he then asked if there were any challenges up ahead........
A rare shot of Vinnie playing Ludwig.
You can have your favs when it comes to style (Peart, Bohnam....etc.), but when it comes to all out technical players, Vinnie is probably world's greatest living drummer.
The dudes in brackets don't compare.

@Steve Smith I literally mentioned Steve Smith in the comment above this one.
It's not just the chops.... But the placement... And the tasteful selection... Damn it!!! The Goat!
3:55 Sting looks back at Vinnie and knows he's a freaking beast, Sting loves Vinnie's drumming
Sting looks back and Vinnie smiles back ... ;)
Master Vinnie laying down the law.

This is how good Vinnie is, almost every comment is about him.
Vinny has a god given talent and a music education and he is also very smart that's why he is one of best in the world
Vinnie is definitely one of the best, so organic yet techincal.
He lets him get away with murder. Good on Sting.
Machine with a funky soul! Vinnie!
Vinnie is crushin it but it’s amazing to see a group of peeps playing together in perfect time
Oh hell yes! That may be the best performance of 7 Days I’ve seen Vinnie do. Wow!! This is still my favorite song to practice as a drummer. So many different elements involved it’s truly genius. If you can play it well, you can damn well play lol. We’re blessed Sting recruited Vinnie!

Vinnie is a BEAST!!! Absolute legend!
Good GOD!!! That's how you play!
Vinnie the GREAT!!
there is a cool moment when Vinnie gives everyone a look as if he's saying "hang on everyone"
Whenever someone asks me “What’s so good about Vinnie?”, this is one of the first clips I show them. Followed by about 3 dozen others. Then I slap them for being so insolent!
slap them twice, and say, this is from Alfredo who feels the way I do, Genious Vinnie
What kind of fool would say that??? Vinnie is the picture of the talent with tons of study applied to the drums in every kind of music he plays.
@@RoccoHernandez87 The amount of chops Vinnie displays on seven days alone is just ridiculous! Funny thing is his approach is actually very tasteful and works for the music...not overwhelming at all!
I slap them first. Then I show them this.
Fa cose incredibili con incredibile naturalezza.Vincenzo Colaiuta fantastico!
There are a lot of great percussionist, a lot. Vinnie s my favorite. Absolutely fabulous.
What a super educational video on Vinnie, it shows many things I always wondered about how he plays this song. Thank you.
you're welcome man! nice to understand that this video is helpful to someone
Take five! :D Vinnie absolutely brillant.
Like some guys already wrote, but Sting, Dominic and David Sancious just lean on Vinnie! Despite his enormous fillings and dominations of pulse and technical interpretation! ! Vinnie!!!
This is such a well written song! Great feel in 5/4 and I have to say the drumming is phenominal! 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.
This is the first time for while since I have watched something in complete awe and utter fascination. This was un-freakin-believable!! Cheers for the upload :)
This also shows how Vinnie enjoys and love this song too.
Hahahaha!! That synth/guitar fill at 1:37🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 The hell was that? 🤣🤣🤣🤣
ANIMAL !!!! Powerful , Solid , Monster ...
Busy as heck here. Great.
Steve Smith yep, he's right up there. I'll throw Jojo in to, obviously Weckl is an honory member.
Vinnies reacts for Dominic´s harmonics 1.40... He got surprised, clearly:D. Great fellows, great song.
I thought the same but actually that arrangement is made by the keyboard. Vinnies smiles at the guy.
Look at that version in 1: 06: ua-cam.com/video/n5AMgW5yOkE/v-deo.html
Sting looks at the keyboard player and nods.
Anyway, great arrangement !!!
It’s 1:37 keyboards
Mind Bending!
Vinnie is amazing, thank you for this I needed a drum pick me up
Vinnie is like “See you guys at the end!”
Sting would never travel w slouches, but vinnie is another level to even the best musicians!!!
Awesome to see him from this angle. He must be sooo bored playing the same songs over and over. I'm sure his bank account is happy though.
Not at all, he has tons of opportunity here
1:37 keyboards
OMG look at Vinnie reaction to a good piece
They’re all really going for it compared to the other live versions I’ve seen. Great stuff.
Nice spot
He's ok...I'm KIDDING! Vinnie's AMAZING!!!:) I have his sticks...but they sound better when he uses them BAM! COMEDY!:)
vinnie es increíble...the máster groove......
Nice version
Vinnie Colaiuta? Un mostro!!
Typical Vinnie, no one should b surprised. :)
3:15 Vinnie, I love you...
Belin! Vinnie mi ha fatto commuovere!
Only Vinnie can make 7 sound completely seemless. He is actually scary.
+bedlam6666 This tune is actually in 5. Bit confusing with the name of the song I know. He can make 7 sound effortless too of course. :D
7 Days, 5 beats. Lol 🤘🏻
Ian Shields
The beat takes the weekends off :)
He is a very sic man,I cannot for the life of me see how Boone’s gotten him to a doctor yet!!!!Blows my mind!!!
I think this was the Back to Bass Concert Manila tour December 2012
el día que no se me ponga la piel de gallina después de ver este tema tocado por Vinnie, ese día estoy oficialmente muerto / if I ever don´t get the thrill with this then I´m oficially dead
beast... BEAST !!!!
Jaws still on the floor. Is this guy even human?
Lucky Vinnie didn't catch being recorded. Lasers are known to shoot out of his eyes.
Colaiuta shreddss!! Holy shit
Vinnie Colaiuta is the king of drums
Changes it up the end by smacking the snare on '2'.. Whoa.
If anyone asks why Vinnie is so above God....THIS IS WHY, and I Dare any drummer on earth to play this song.... Simply NO CHANCE...... (JR-PORTUGAL)
what a monster Vinnie is
Vinnie, what a giant...
Good ol´fat Vinnie!
Thin Vin is long gone
Fat Vinnie got that old man strength
2:26 has time to adjust his glasses. What??
THE BEAST VINNIE COLAIUTA....
Sting will probably never play there again..
Ninja snare tightening at 0:40
Also fixing of glasses at ua-cam.com/video/ZX3WO8BZ_4E/v-deo.htmlm25s
INSANE

No words 0_0!
Que Animal!
Sound is awful...but you can sort of 'see...what's going on'. Vinnie...on Fire, as usual. took some 'liberties'. why? Because he CAN>
what vinnie displays here is far beyond ( any imaginable kind of )normality,
that snare is gretsch solidsteel?
안세혁 Ludwig supraphonic or black beauty? hard to tell from lighting
He's used the good old Ludwig model quite a lot. This looks like it.
Jesus😲
Vinnie es una Ferrari
i love sting but i adore vinnie no homo.
Lol
OMG
how people have to work on scene tutorial
VINNIEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
342 trova anche il tempo di sistemarsi gli occhiali...
Vinnie overplayed this...i know the fanboys will hate this comment, but come on, he needs to be kept in check otherwise he overplays
Colaiuta (sting) seven days
vinnieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
Vinnie. Just stop it.
Why is Vinnie overplaying this, so forced drumming. Should be relaxed laidback groove.
Vinnie Colaiuta много лет гениально вытягивал скучные программы Стинга и когда ушел, концерты Стинга проходят бледно!;) Долго не мог понять почему слушаю нудного, слащавого стинга? Да потому что барабанил Vinnie Colaiuta. 3 октября 2017 Sting в Олимпийском сравните. Там слушать не чего!

Colaiuta n accompagne pas ,il essaie plein de décalages rythmiques...
A mon goût,même si c est un monstre,il doit se mettre au SERVICE du chanteur!!
il peut se permettre
Jean-Luc Chapelon
Si Sting laisse faire en même temps...:))
Must be nice for Sting have a proper drummer in the band (Stewart Copeland is way overrated IMHO)
wow 2:03. I hate that kind of overplaying. It's like he doesn't even listen to the singer. And yes I know he played on the original.

Sorry.
jeez dude,U shud keep Your opinions for Yourself-other wise pro drummers my hav a big laugh.
Yes it’s a little over playing but these guys play these songs over and over, maybe Sting said tonight let it loose. It’s over played but controlled, maybe show us how it’s done.
Too much closed hat. Don't like that sound...
Show me ONE drummer in the world playing this song better ... :o
Maybe you ought to take it up with him. I'm sure he'd welcome your expertise on this matter. (I'll grab my popcorn...just a sec...)
Tool
Probably the wrong place to talk shit about vinnie just sayin
@@ikshields Listening to this after a year, I had my head in my a$$...Sorry...
