Hey y'all. Our friend Austin Burcham over at ABBDrums/STUDY THE GREATS has come through with a great transcription video for us and has also made it available to you to download. Grab it from his website right here www.abbdrums.com/vinnie-colaiuta and make sure you subscribe to his channel! 🙂
Yeah! Thanks A LOT!!! But I don't understand, you Austin have transcribed group of 6 notes... Rob speaks about group of 5... I think your transcription is the legit one.
Learning to phrase 16th notes in odd groups like 5 or 7 is a door opener. Internalizing the sound of these "odd" groups is the key. Being able to transcend counting is paramount. Break em up into groups of 2 and 3 with these syllables. Taka = 2 and Takita = 3. Taka takita . = 5. Taka taka takita = 7. Then if you accent the first syllable you start to hear the sound or "melody" of these groups. By coupling that with the math of 16th notes and how those values divide into them for example, (3 X 5) +1 =16 / (15 + 1) . or (2 X 7) + 2 = 16 / (14 + 2). You have all the info you need to make this part of your own vocabulary. Then fool around. Move the groups of 2 and 3 around. 9 = takita takita takita (3 + 3 + 3 ) or taka taka taka takita (2 + 2 + 2 + 3 ) Etc. Those two syllabic groups feel very different and are the same numeric value. This method counting tech I learned from Ralph Humphrey and comes from tabla drummers. It is a door opener and can help you on your way to finding your own voice. I have found that it isn't confusing for the other musicians because they can still hear of feel the recognizable 16th notes going by. But only if you execute. Good luck. and enjoy. Remember though. If booty's are shaking, You are doing your job. Peace.
That's really amazing to work with odd groupings! One of the most inspirational, most methodically logical and most musical DVDs regarding this imo is: The Language of Drumming by Benny Greb. The DVD includes a PDF with many pages and there is also a book with the same title. I teach this to all my pupils and it changed my fundamental approach of my teachings with my higher grade students.
I know this comment is 2 years old, but this fill is actually sixteenth note triplets (6 notes per beat) and sixteenth notes are only 4 notes per beat. So the math would revolve around 24 notes every 4/4 measure, and would work slightly different and is based around a different subdivision than sixteenth notes. Still, very cool phrasing ideas!
@@zanestackhouse8297 OMG thanks for the explanation, I was so confused by the comment because of that! Can you apply the method they're talking about in the comment to 16th note triplets? Because I'm kind of confused in the video how they are "groups of 5" at all - what is it that makes this fill consist of groups of 5? I don't really hear that, it just sounds like 16th note trips to me
Vinnie has some of the most complex fills I've ever heard, and the way he strings them together is mind-blowing, he is truly one of the greatest drummers...
I totally get it man. I tingle when Vinni Flares up. The real unique thing that Vinni has is that he grooves just as much as he is technical. His playing on Stings "seven days" would never be topped. Great post 👍
Greetings, I met Vinnie a few times when I was a just starting out recording studio tech at Westlake Studios in LA between 1987 - 89. Vinnie was a really down to earth cool gentleman. He was doing drum sessions for a company called LANY who used to write jingles for big time commercials. I guess they needed the best!
4:56 - Your gift of music and teaching, tis the holiday season. I'm a fan. Thanks for decoding the one and only Vinnie. And doing it without his trademark glasses! That's a rarity in and of itself.
i saw the session on youtube, probs the same as you. i have literally tears in the eyes when I watch him play. he is increadible. one of the very very very few people who indeed could sip a coffee and read the papers while playing zapp backwards.
Great video Rob! Did as you suggested and sat with my practice pad...watched & rewound...plenty of times! Got the basics down in about 40 mins. I think replicating it on the drums is gonna take a bit longer! Love your work man!
LMAO. I love the comment about calmly sitting there sipping coffee and reading the paper and then announcing he's Batman. That gave me a really good laugh this morning. I must admit most times when I see something that Vinnie has done I don't even try to figure it out because he's so otherworldly about doing fills like this. You sir make things like this look easy. Hats off to you my drumming brother from another mother!
Rob....What is priceless is your reaction to the video. You did exactly what I did..Just shook my head. The dude in the control room that throws his arms in the air just makes it that much better.
Whoa! I watched the video of that song... not only is Vinnies playing spectacular through out the entire song... but it's just so nonchalantly like... well yeah, this is what I do for a living. And those Hi-Hats... so crisp and articulate. Thanks for the redirect to that video.
You continue to 'beakdown' exactly that which I want "broken down'. Awesome video content and delivery as always...thanks Rob. Happy Holidays to you and all...spread some love...
I LOVE BIG BANDS and I love this tune "Gift With Purchase". The musicianship and composition are brilliant. Finally I have found some new music I can get excited about. Thanks for mentioning this band.
Rob, what a wonderful lesson in drumming, WOW, I will now see the drummer in a band in a different light. Always been a great fan of Charlie Watts, and now seeing all this close up my admiration for you guys is so elevated. Thanks for showing even us none drummers something really great AND so well explained. Now where's those sticks....
Many thanks Rob! I agree, just when you think you've seen it all....This is the kind of stuff that really differentiates Vinnie as a drummer. Jazz band recording, rock, fusion, country, soloing, and beats galore. I'm still trying to grasp how many different sounds he gets out of his hi-hats. Excellent piece of vocab for the tool box. Also, appreciate the call out for Austin. You two are my top for vocabulary ideas!
@@ReconXOverland I have the perfect Christmas present for you - some new glasses - so reading will work for you again ! Nobody else misunderstood my comment !!!!!!!!
Amazing. Just amazing. I'm going to repeat what I just wrote on Austin's comment section for this video: Rob's reaction to this clip was pretty much my reaction as well. Here is what's special about Vinnie, and Zappa touched on this in one of his books: Vinnie's ability to improvise advances polymetric figures in real time, and do it in a way that is not only musical, but inventive. It kills me. There are great drummers, and then there's Vinnie. He's the one drummer who consistently plays things that makes my drum brain say "That was amazing, it totally worked, and I have no idea how he did it."
Excellent video...thank you for posting this! When I was a kid I got the instructional video of Steve Gadd breaking down some of his grooves. I was most interested in learning "Late in the Evening" and I was determined to get it. I had to write out the part for each hand, one at a time, rewinding the video over and over. After laying the parts on top of each other, I finally figured out the "feel" of how they fit together. I was one happy camper! :)
So Vinny and I studied the same incredible teacher (Gary Chaffee), but man, I couldn’t come up with something like that. Such an amazing player with the grace and confidence only a seasoned master can deliver. Thanks for showing it and breaking it down for us. This also shows how good you are as well Rob, nicely done. Merry Christmas from Beantown.
Practice your six stroke roll and variations around the kit and you’ll surprise yourself. Make the doubles on the snare ghosted abd the accents melodically between snare and toms. The groupings will just be a by product of that
Thanks for taking the time to break down the fill and explain it. Not only is Vinnie a master drummer, he is a fellow brother in Christ. For another great Vinnie fill, check out what he plays on the break in the Brian Doerksen tune "Change Me On The Inside" studio recording, (not the live version). The song is on the "Holy God" album. I attempted the fill in a cover I did of the song.
Dude them drums sound Amazing..,. overhead mics and a snare mic only sick!! I have the Vinnie Colaiuta Yamaha maple customs with the 4.5 signature snare circa 1993 bought brand new only owner.. One of the greatest drummers ever ...thanks for paying hommage
Thanks Rob and Austin. You guys are both awesome! And @ 1:42 in this video, priceless Rob! Vinnie just has that kind of effect on many of us.. Haha. Thanks for the video.
Rob, you’re an amazing drummer and a great teacher; I do not understand half of what you say because my English is worse than a sandwich of nails ... but my friend, it's a pleasure to see you play. All the best from Spain. Fredo
Don't cry ROB. VINNIE is a monster, a master, he's probably the best thing that happen on drums since TONY WILLIAMS. It's natural, drums are his life...
Just gotta say....VC has been blowing my ever-lovin' mind since FZ introduced him to me way long time ago, and now me love him long time. I'm no drummer but I know what I like....Vinnie, Mike Clark, Peter Erskine, Gergo Borlai, Bruford, Ronald Bruner Jr, Ndugu, Lenny White, of course Tony Williams....rock drummers Ian Paice, Carmine Appice, Barriemore Barlow, Stew Copeland, Jim Keltner and a lot more. You sir sound amazing!
I'd watched the Eisenberg video of this fill a bunch and wouldn't have tried it had you not broken it down. Gonna' check the transcription as well. Thanks everyone !
This vid is great. Your explanation is crystal clear- Thanks for repeating each section a bunch of times. And, your reaction to the awesomeness of Vinnie's fill was fittingly priceless. Great stuff.
Yeah, my reaction upon hearing that the first time was much the same...I stopped the vid and probably laughed my butt off for five minutes then started it again 3-4 times before I listened to the whole tune. I usually hate to do that but geez, really there needs to be a warning on stuff like that!! :) Rob, thanks for the breakdown and many thanks to Austin for the transcription. I've been enjoying all of the stuff that both of you have contributed. I'll be shedding this tomorrow!!
Rob this is the first video of yours that I have seen and it is EXCELLENT! Will continue to tune in and you inspire me after 40 years of playing, to learn new things!
Greetings from Argentina, and sorry for my english. But i love your way of transmit your knowledge, funny and accurate. Without going around. Thanks man.
Wow! Somehow I’m over a year late seeing the original video and then watching your video and Austin’s transcription. However, you did such a good job of breaking down Vinnie’s fill that I don’t think I need the transcription, but it’s nice to know it’s there should I need it. I found myself wanting to accent the right hand stroke that comes directly after the left hand stroke on the hihat. After I got rid of the tendency to accent that note and stick to the sticking things are falling into place. I still can’t play it cleanly at full speed yet, but I’ve only been working on it for a few hours. When I first heard Vinnie play this fill it sounded like he was hitting the snare and the hihats at the same time. After listening to it a few times I could hear the space between the snare and the hi hats. I definitely thought that I would never be able to wrap my head around this fill. But thanks to you and Austin Burcham, I not only have a full grasp on this fill, but I can play it, even if it’s not at the original tempo. I think that’s really cool. I can’t wait to play it for my fellow drummers and other musicians!
Great job Rob of breaking down that fill. It's never easy to explain or let alone play a Vinnie fill. But you did it, and played it flawlessly! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
So well explained. Watching this video today and learning this fill got me back into playing drums...for the first time in a long while. I signed up on Patreon.
Thanks Rob so much for the breakdown, I'm honored! To everyone watching, get the album here: store.cdbaby.com/cd/brianeisenbergjazzorches Thanks for your support, it helps us create more albums for you!
Haha not only are you a funny dude, you break it down perfectly! I myself am neither a sheet reading guy, so I find just the 'R-L' stuff to be really useful! Keep up the awesome work.

Hey rob . Please tell me which yamaha kit you used in this video. And did you get the kit with those wooden Hoops ?? Or you replaced them ??

Man thanks for deciphering that bad boy !!! Ever since I saw that like you it completely blew my mind !! Good job !!!
I love you, man. This is great. I just watched this video a few days ago.... over and over and over.
brilliant - I love the way you can "feel" it - and break it down that way 1st... Great job!... a year 1/2 later!...
your concepts are always strong, useful and easy to grasp for the everyday working drummer. great work and thanks from Turin, Italy

Great fill and thank you for breaking it down so clearly! Fantastic work..
Awesome video! I do the same with Vinnie. He is an absolute monster and probably my favorite drummer of all time
Thanks Rob & Austin! GREAT "Vinnie fill"!! :)
Dude that was extremely cool, and you obviously worked damn hard on it. Props.
Bright!!!! You are such an inspiration for everyone behind the kit man!! Cheers and merry Christmas.
Thanks much, man 😊 👊🏽
