vinnie grooves or blows?

[shedder]

i'm interested in learning about which tune you think vinnie grooves the hardest on and which tune shows his best chops. this will give me a sense of what tunes and albums to look out for.

my favorites...

groove: if i ever lose my faith in you (sting)
chops: kamaroon (jeff richman)

groove: Gino Vannelli: Nightwalker
chops: Karizma: Document

[drumaddict]

"Joe's Garage" pretty much covers it on both ends.....

[skunkfunk]

"Slink" from Vinnie's solo album.

[Yuk]

According to me, Vinnie always combines both.....
Anyway, two songs among many others from "His drumness" ;-)

"Train Song" Jing Chi and "Seven Days" Sting.
They both contain hard groovin' and blowing chops and........touch, sensibility, musicality, maturity, taste, feeling, space etc...etc...

[Frank Sanchez]

"On The Eve Of Tommorow"
Eric Marienthal, Crossroads.

"Seven Days"
Sting, Ten Summoners Tales

"First Song On The Jazz Ministry's First Disc"
Mathieson, Laboriel, Landau, Vinnie, Live @ the BP

These are my top three?

Take Care. F.S.

Chops:
_Karizma - Document, & Live - Club Fabrik, Germany

_JPatitucci - 1st 1 [self-titled], & Sketchbook;
_AHoldsworth - Secrets, & Wardenclyffe Tower;
_Randy Waldman - Wigged Out, & Unreel [the latter from what i hear]
_The stuff Stv H mentions on his HOD VC page...

All have the element of grrove AW...

"Groove" [besides the stuff u guys already mentioned like Sting, GVanelli, & Robben Ford]:

_Michael Sembello - The Bridge vid

Yeah, I'd say Jing Chi's Train Song, and
Slink, off his solo album, and maybe
Nothing Personal from Karizma Document.

[five eight]

There's a Dog Cheese bootleg that showcases Vinnie's chops handily, as does the Warren Cuccurullo session and BIG DRUM.

Nice grooves on Joni Mitchell's WILD THINGS RUN FAST.

[FuseU1]

If Vinnie took martial arts, he'd be a black belt in chops...if his molars are anything like his technq, then he could slice thru a fat piece of pork in no time flat...OK, I've seen too many rotoroot/blob/hayseuss/grossed beef posts, sorry.... [img]wink.gif[/img]
