In this video of "The Legendary Showdown" --Steve Gadd, Vinnie Colaiuta, and Dave Weckl, at the Buddy Rich Memorial Concert 1989, Los Angeles, I have skipped ahead to the part where Vinnie starts using one hand at a time, lol. Vinnie, may people agree, is the sickest (in the way the kids mean this) drummer out there, to this day. Somewhere I may have posted the story where Frank Zappa hands him a brand-new stack of "impossible" drum charts, and Vinnie immediately nails them. Sight-reading, while alternately using his "free" hands to eat a plate of sushi, flip pages, and push his glasses up his nose. Everyone in the room (I think Zappa, Steve Vai, and maybe Bozzio) were simply disgusted. He is, like, too good to be human.
