As I am a big Vinnie fan his remarkable technique and his ability to adapt to so many different musical demands is what makes him so damned good
at what he does! I went out on a limb with picking such a high profile drummer. After talking at great lenght with Michael (Amba) about it we figured what the
heck,it is important to discuss his contributions to drumming. Also we thought he would be figured out immediately..but I was glad that wasn't the case
because it gave me a chance to learn a little more abou tall the drummers all of you mentioned.I am gratefull for that!
Thanks for letting me be a part of such a wonderfull forum of a great bunch of guy's and gal's. Big shout out to Michael for without him there would be
no WAI and of course our fearless leader Mr. Billy Ward!!
It would be great if any of you could offer up some interesting observations about Vinnies playing and any interesting discussion. Thanks again.....Chris
That was a good one! I tend to dislike music that serves up a soft pitch to the drummer so that he
can spray everything - but... Vinnie does play music - he is so musical! Great player and really nice person to boot!
Hi Mario, Chad Wackerman..awesome talent from Zappa to
Streisand..really tasteful drummer, definite ability to cut the gig that's for sure. But No! for Chad but great guess though..he
is one of my faves!
