Vinnie Colaiuta – Jing Chi – Train Song (Drum Cover)

This is Train Song off Jing Chi’s first album. One of my favorite drum parts. I only play the first bit, because that’s the part that contains so many great “Vinnie” ideas. The rest of the song is good, so go buy the album if you want to hear it :) My philosophy on transcribing… It’s good for at least 2 things: 1) It helps train your ear to be able to pick out every little note that someone plays. It can get challenging with the other instruments playing on top, but most of the time, if …

    It’s a Roland TD-20. One of Roland’s prestige kits. The sounds of the electric kit definitely aren’t the pre-configured ones, though. :)

    Great job on the cover, didn’tcatchyourname. ;)
    Looks like I’ll be listening to Jing Chi the next couple of hours.

    Is that an electric kit?
    It sounds friggin’ really nice. I’m impressed. :]]
    You can hardly tell!

    Hey thanks so much for sharing. really appreciate it. I’ll be checking out your other recordings and MySpace stuff. You’re a fine drummer and I admire your ability to sight read as you play.

    I plug iPod into the TD-20, mix out to headphones, but only drums through the digital out to PC, then any ol’ WAV recorder works. Then I mix 1) the video with 2) the original song track from the ipod and 3) the drum track recorded on the PC.

    thanks for getting back and providing that info. I have a TDW-20 w/VEXpressions. it’s good to know that the module is capable of getting the sounds you got. How do you record your videos, the sound quality is excellent.

  8. egyokeo says:

    thanks! it’s stock Roland sounds, but I made the “kit” myself by choosing all the toms/snare/cymbals that most sounded like Vinnie’s kit on this song.

  9. rhythmantic says:

    great playing and audio recording. Is that a custom configured drum kit or one of roland’s or are you triggering some drum sample like Superior 2 or Addictive Drums?

    Your technique is incredible!!! Very good!!! This music and CRAZY HOUSE are my favourites of the JING CHI album…and CITY NIGHTS of SECRETS album of ALLAN HOLDSWORTH is a great work with COLAIUTA on drums.

  13. Sternkrieg72 says:

    Not only are you an awesome drummer, you have the greatest shirt choice.

    Great job, egyokeo.

  14. JHix37 says:

    what music styler/genre would you call this?

  15. bennylange92 says:

    Awesome playing and transcription!!
    Would mind uploading the transcription or something?

  16. egyokeo says:

    I spend hours working out the sticking in each measure, then I use the transcription as just a reminder to play it in real time.

  17. neon9999 says:

    Do you actually read and interpret all of it while you play, or is it just a reminder of when to play what, etc.?

  18. SuperCitynights says:

    Incredible!!! You are a great drummer!! This music is fantastic!!! VINNIE COLAIUTA IS THE BEST!!!

  19. ennis437 says:

    epic ! nice !! great technique = syncopated) displace the beats or accents in (music or a rhythm) so that strong beats become weak and vice versa : syncopated dance music.

  20. aBetterOpinion says:

    Fantastic drumming Eric!

    o_o.

    hey thanks dedwarmo! You still juggling? I hardly do anymore! Which is a shame. It’s a lot of fun. For the record everybody, this guy was my VERY first youtube subscriber. I had said it was Mushy2000 before, which is true, but he was my first “GH” subscriber. dedwarmo was really first. Anyway, thanks for stopping by man!
