A MODERN MUSICAL MASTERPIECE

This one is for musicians, especially musicians who have studied music and understand terms like "beat displacement" and "a bar of nineteen" and fusion/progressive rock.

This tune, I'm Tweaked, was written as kind of a joke. Vinnie was listening to a James Brown record and thought, "I wonder what would happen if this record were playing at a club and skipped. It would be hilarious to see people trying to dance to it." So, he wrote the tune.

This is not for the faint of heart. I will say, though, that this tune is one of the reasons Vinnie Colaiuta is one of my favorite drummers ever.

Enjoy!



You're welcome.

Peace, Love, and Dark Chocolate

Insane, isn't it?! Not only does he have crazy speed with his left, he also has crazy power. That's a rare combination anymore. Good eye, Tim!
