VINNIE - The thread about Colaiuta

[gretsch-o-rama]

Jesus. That shit is ridiculous.(My new favorite word) They say Tony Williams and the band were pissed off when they recorded Four and More. Anger can be powerful if you can control it....haha

Good Vinnie view here:

Wow! That is all.

You can really see his left forearm smacking his leg when he hits the snare in that last "7 days" clip. Strange, from a technique standpoint anyway.

It seems like to me he sits somewhat higher these days and his drums are tuned super low. I think his snare drum is positioned lower as well.Not really sure what he's going for with that.... seems to work. haha

Probably not new but still good:

Hey Paul, NICE job on refreshing Vinnie's website, I like the quote above too, right on.

[Paul Marangoni]

Thanks Rodge! Still tweaking it, but so far so good.

[renardvert]

Yeah, cool job Paul! I like the quotes as well, inspiring stuff. Could you tell me what is the login for? Is it only for the guest book?

Thanks, yeah, right now, it's just to post comments (Vinnie does check the comments from time to time). I still have to add a way for people to update their email address, etc.

Still not sure about letting people submit questions. We had that before, and it got out of hand. It would have been a full time job for Vinnie to read and/or answer them. Plus, most questions were the same. I thought about adding an FAQ, but it would just be "no, I am not currently offering private instruction" and "sorry, I don't know when I'll be playing in your town" and "sorry, I don't remember what snare drum I played on that track".

If you have any suggestions, let me know.

Agreed Paul.. Nice job.. I like the idea of passing quotes.. Serves a similar purpose as "F.A.Q" in a way...
