Vinnie Colaiuta
Full Transcription Available At: nickmolenda.com...
Hello from Seattle!
I hope you enjoy my best attempt at a note-for-note run on a truly great track originally played by one of my biggest drumming influences, Vinnie Colaiuta. The track is "Seven Days" from Sting's album Ten Summoner's Tales.
More and more, I've been getting into doing note-for-note transcriptions of many musicians that have influenced my playing in one way or another. Not only has it been a tremendous learning experience for myself, but I thought that presenting it to everyone in this format would be helpful to other drummers who might be wanting to do the same thing.
If you enjoy this video, please subscribe to my channel and share this video on Facebook/Twitter/etc. I'll be putting up more of these kinds of things in the near future for you all to check out.
UPDATE: Here're some links to instructional video's I've posted to this track:

I'd sincerely appreciate any and all feedback you may have and look forward to connecting with many of you in the future!
All the best,
-Nick

The best drum cover of 'Seven Days' I've ever seen. Perfect!

@yetidh9 4 года назад

Great cover. This guy does a good job too. watch?v=LVExCHtESPU

@ademirfilho4617 2 года назад

Search for "Robertinho Marçal - seven days" he is amazing too.

@JuanVargasCalderon Год назад

@@ademirfilho4617 I saw the guy you mentioned hes good too but, this version is better played a lot more accurate and technicallly superior

@DanielMcBrain Год назад

11 years and this still remains the best cover of Seven Days in youtube, awesome.

@DrumsTheWord 6 месяцев назад

I agree!

@TheNick279 8 лет назад

Wow! I think even Sting and Vinnie would be impressed by that. This is one talented drummer.

@thomaschesterfield9459 Год назад

Bravo! Vinnie would be proud. Great posture and your minimal in your attack. All in the wrist. No flailing arms here. Well done with great feel.

@nottudyug 5 месяцев назад

Unbelievable. Truly impressive, can't stop watching this cover. Right hand on the hats so effortless. Looks like you have all the time in the world playing this!!!!

@swkeller 11 лет назад

So many people have attempted to cover this song (pros and non-pros). I'm telling you... apart from Vinnie, you're the best. Outstanding job!

@lolufsen 11 лет назад

Not even discussing the level of quality of the drumming, but just the camera angle giving us a TREMENDOUS insight into the complexity of Vinnie's (and your) drumming. Absolutely brilliant video. Thanks a lot!!

@NishantRastogi 10 лет назад

bang on!! nice pockets and dynamics bro! everything just in place. sounding really great

@tonyantoine5823 2 месяца назад

First and foremost, great job! I love how relaxed you play this groove. 2nd, I’ve seen a lot of people cover this song, some better than others and yours is near the top. It really goes to show how far drumming continues to get easier with each decade. So many great people sharing their expertise on RU-vid.

@deborahmolenda2112 2 года назад

Gawd I LLLLOVE the feeling this video gives the viewer! Sound, beat... wow! Thanks, never gets old!!!

@MichaelONealDrums 12 лет назад

Nick, you absolutely CRUSHED this. Which, by the way, is one of the most profound drum recordings ever made. I'm not sure how many drummers aspire to play this, but I'd say "most of us". Well done.

@phinksmusic 9 лет назад

Dude, you nailed my favorite odd-time popsong ever.... Respect!! Being a drummer myself, I hope to live to see the day I'd play this song the way as shown above... Good job!!!

@StephanLongo 3 года назад

@Avico78 8 лет назад

When i see Nick's videos i understand the meaning of talent .. amazing!

@PocoSpiccato-js2lq Год назад

Your thoroughness and patience made this perfect. I love you, Nick!

@bimmergeek 9 лет назад

Nick, this is utterly fantastic. I got a couple chills while you played. Stellar.

@bimmergeek 6 лет назад

Agreed. Chills several times and a few "Holy fuck, man!"'s

@PocoSpiccato-js2lq Год назад

Your precision even extends to the sound of the drums! Oh, I love you, Nick!

@surgeman 2 года назад

Just came across this vid and have to say it’s by far the most absolute definite best cover ever seen/heard - man, not only is it played identical to the original, the drums are tuned the same and even the cymbals are the same tone/pitch. Quite frankly it’s like listening to Vinnie’s original recorded version! That’s some serious sick shit!!

@GregDiBernardo Год назад

You typed what I was going to say. Holy shit!

@Davokane888 4 месяца назад

Watch this all the time nick, great cover and song😎

@seamustierney1791 9 лет назад

STELLAR! If Vinnie hasn't told you how spot on this is, he should!

@wsjohnston3956 8 лет назад

Just what I was looking for after trying to follow Vinny on 7 Days. Thank you very much!

@mindfreak990 11 лет назад

This is so spot on it's ridiculous. You are a great drummer! Keep the videos coming!

@rathjens 6 лет назад

Wow! Outstanding! Vinnie couldn’t play it as precise as you!

@dmark2639 2 года назад

PERFECT!!! Wow...you nailed it brother! What a great track and amazing talent.

Young man you played that as well as Vinnie! DAYUM! Freaking NAILED it!

@keving5338 12 лет назад

Very nice. This song has been one of my all time favorite drum tracks. Most people would overlook the complexity of the drumming here... but I would think most drummers would not. Vinnie is an incredible drummer.

@dd007x 7 месяцев назад

I just love this. Stunning. Just jaw dropping. 🎉😊

13 лет назад

Really great how you played it. I am a big fan off Vinnie and i listen the tracks a thousand times. Compliment

@miles-178 8 лет назад

oooooooooooooouuuh..... that ending solo ..... was mind blowing .... exactly the same to the last note!!!!! i´m your neeeew subscriber !!!!! right now !!!!

@BackLooking 8 лет назад

Yeah! I also like the exactness and precision here. A lot of guys just play something similar to the original but they often drop a stroke or even a fill here and there. This was really fun to watch. I like when covers are exact.

@vagaboots Год назад

This song is a wild beast to tame and you did it so smoothly! Beautiful rendition, well done!

@davidbspamboy 12 лет назад

That was a perfect cover. Brilliant. What the hell can else can be said??? LOVED IT. Keep up the fantastic work.

@benbarletta2927 3 года назад

NO WORDS....OVER THE TOP!!!

@Jibonenay Год назад

I 'm blown away! The only thing I could input is the wonderful hi-hat splashing that occurs. Most of the time I've seen Vinnie (even his day's with "Dog Cheese" in LA) the left leg was always busy doing 8th note's which make's a splash very easy during solo's and a nice fill in sound. Which helped me quite a bit with keeping it and not train wrecking a tune. Still working on it, Cheers and Thanks.

@dkpc73 11 лет назад

Bravissimo, sicuramente una delle più belle esecuzioni che io abbia mai visto.... Precisione feel e dinamiche ineccepibili!!

@2fast4ua 3 года назад

@dhnaves 11 лет назад

vinnie would be proud/impressed. (i used to set up his kit in LA studios back in the 90's) cheers!

@stevenlucas1880 2 года назад

Beat perfect cover young man. I always loved this challenge as a drummer but never had a big enough kit. Great achievement

@harribattista2087 Год назад

@steveiegrooves 9 лет назад

Great Job! I seen a lot of guys try to cover this tune. The best I seen yet! Nice work!

@paulflipse3353 4 года назад

I hate you not only because you played an incredibly hard drum part perfectly, but also because you made it look so damned easy. Well done, bastard.

@nmolenda 4 года назад

I appreciate it man! For what it's worth - yours is the first comment in quite a while that really made me laugh. My best to you - keep on drumming!

@edoardotraini6224 3 года назад

if it can console you my friend the first part of the groove when you start making triplets is wrong. as for the rest it seems perfect to me

@digitalcavalier 6 лет назад

Absolutely perfect - amazing!

@jfitzhugh1 11 лет назад

Finally, a cover worth watching. crushed it!

@SamNaborsDrums 7 лет назад

the ultimate prog pop drum track and also one of my favorite songs. Wish I had the time to learn this. Young drummers, practice and learn as much as you can before you have to move out of your parents house and into the real world. Most of you will not have time, if you have to work a fulltime job etc...and if you get married and have kids it's even harder.

@MrRezRising 12 лет назад

Nick, your extra fluid style is extremely impressive and awesome to watch. You took something so hard to do and made it look gracefully effortless. Great job and keep it up. You should play that song with the tips of your sticks colored day glow, turn on a blue light to make them glow and turn off the lights. I bet it would look incredible.

@Wirralmusicfactoryofficial Год назад

Absolutely brilliant!

@Tjarven 10 лет назад

Going in to the chorus out of the verse is spot on- touch as hell! Nice!

@1973833 4 года назад

It takes a lot of time,and practice to play that song like this...many,many hours.I’m sure Vinnie would approve...

@drummermomcjs 2 года назад

Very well done! You look so loose and relaxed and this is not an easy song to play. I most enjoyed your cover of it.

@jubankta1627 4 года назад
