But first remember vinnie once said all drummers should just play a nice solid simple groove and get so in touch with it, so into it, so moved by it that its all they want to play. Words of wisdom from a true master.

Wow. Great lesson. Snare drum sounds killer too.

So amazing a lot of want Vinnie do is take diffrent basic rudiments and mix them with diffrent odd groupings. Crazy I always loved that part of this drum solo . Thanks for demystifying that one part. That is really were the magic really comes in . Tony Williams is the Drummer that Vinnie really followed his licks and phrasing is all over in his playing. Great lesson
