His thing is in the same general bag as Barry Manilow, but sexier, higher-energy, more operatic, and he likes his band to be able to shred a bit. So, from the depths of 1981, hot on the heels of that Tom Scott thing, here's Vinnie playing on Nightwalker, by Gino Vanelli. I couldn't believe he ever sounded that bad, and I was right.
A moment ago I heard something so bad, such an egregious example of a fusion drummer overplaying on a pop track, that I needed to go back and see how Vinnie Colaiuta handled a similar situation. But sometimes you have to be able to detach a little(?) from your personal taste and take a professional interest in craft. In the past I've posted some fairly cheesy things- with a purpose- but I'm afraid I'll really lose you on this one (“This, he wants us to like THIS?”).
