During the Coronavirus Lockdown I found some time, being at home from university, for transcribing and playing Vinnie Colaiuta's drum part from the song "Spokes" by the great Allan Holdsworth (Secrets, 1989). Vinnie is one of my favourite drummers, so I tried to analyse what he was playing...at the best of my current abilities.
So here's my humble interpretation; of course, I didn't edit the drumtrack, I just practiced the song, recorded the drums and mixed them😉.
I hope you enjoy!
