Vinnie is incredibly humble about the near unattainable bar he set during the span of his career, man. This dude been the G.O.A.T. since the Dukes Of Hazzard 🏆
Honestly the GOAT in modern music. What a super smart and nice guy. Everyone who knows, knows the contribution to drumming Vinnie has made. He really is an enigma. I mean, there is no one that could play all of those styles, cotrectly, on all of those records, with all of those artists. There is only one...
Thank you Kirkee B! Fantastic episode. Really enjoyed how natural it felt for you and Vinnie to dive into all these drumming and life topics. Cheers! Bugs
It would be great, at this point, for Vinnie to talk a bit about his hands and feet, meaning his technique. How exactly does he hold the sticks, did his grip change over the years? and so on...
@@thekirkeebshow i know. I love your interview style and the fact you got VC as one of your guests. This interview has alot of great insight. Its not marred by the typical questions. This interview is music philosophy being discussed by giants. I profusely thank you Mr. B.
You are the only Filipino DRUMMER who has played with a MAJOR RnB act. You broke the mold of the whole musical segregation thing . That along with those greasy grooves are why I consider you legend.
Thanks for the interview! Unfortunately Vinnie was NOT part of the "VHS Instructional" wave. I heard that Rob Wallis approached him many times but to no avail. His performance on the Buddy Concert inspired generations. He was also in the lesser known Jeff Berlin VHS back then. That was about it. GRP Super Live with Dave Grusin. Pickins were slim back then for Vinnie video footage because he didn't really want folks to examine his playing (I suspect).
My brother had that Jeff Berlin video. His playing on the intro tune was absolute fire. I figure he didn't do a video because he was too busy doing something like 3 sessions per day to come up with a concept and write a script for an instructional video.
In a group setting The drums are the most important instrument in every way. And I’m a keyboard player. You can also think that every instrument is a different kind of drum, but that’s another topic.
I think a beginner drummer would have trouble telling the difference between Vinnie, Dave Weckl, and Gregg Bissonette. But seasoned players can. It’s a bit unfair to say all younger players or instagram players sound the same, if you listen enough you can separate Maison Guidry and Mike Mitchell and Brian Evans
True Gods of drummer, wisdom-filled content indeed. But Kirk social media drummers...I ask one question, what music IE with other musicians have they played with or created? 95% haven't created any of the said aspects....
So what are Vinnie and Kirkee trying to get at? That many of today's drummers are all about blast beats and chops, or they are aspiring to play like their heroes. I want to play with a solid groove, in the pocket, with a little bit of spice thrown in when you don't expect it (like an extra kick or ghost note). I also am NOT Peart, or Copeland, or Colaiuta, or Philips, to name a few of my heroes. They all inspire me, but I still want to put my own signature on playing, even though I play drums for fun and as a hobby.
Thank you for this interview! It is fascinating but also worrying, what Vinnie is saying. He notices very clearly that the world is not moving in a good direction. Only the show counts - not the hard earned skills and the quality. If this is called "old school" fine, then I am old school too! I am glad that I had the privilege of seeing and hearing Vinnie Colaiuta live on stage - and experience the depth of his increadible capabilities. And I really hope to see him again - or is this the end of his career now? I hope not!
In 2019, I had the pleasure of seeing this cat take a drum solo for a whole verse of Mahavishnu’s You Know, You Know, on stage with Mr. Jeff Beck. Unbelievable drummer.

@@thekirkeebshow You are a legend too!!

Vinnie is the only Zappa alum who's not living in a car.
Thanks for the interview!

True BUT….ANY video that he was a part of that the period became the visual study if this drumming maestro!
My brother had that Jeff Berlin video. His playing on the intro tune was absolute fire. I figure he didn't do a video because he was too busy doing something like 3 sessions per day to come up with a concept and write a script for an instructional video.

I want to play with Vincenzo. And also talk. He is so right with every observation he shares here.

The thing about today is machines are trying feel like humans and humans are trying to feel like machines.
Amazing Mr. Curt & Vinnie - Salute 🫡
