Vinnie Colaiuta, my all-time favorite drummer. One of his classic moments. Nobody plays like this. A really cool opening drum fill to a song called Spokes from Allan Holdsworth's 1989 release Secrets. There are a few other songs Vinnie plays on this album and they are way out there. He has the craziest most inspired ideas you've ever heard.
It's been pointed that I missed a hat splash near the end.
Also, this whole pattern is played 5 over ever 3 16th notes. i.e. the "one" beat of the right hand plays starting on beat 2 of 4/4 time signature: TWO e an AH three e AN ah four E an ah ONE e an AH two e AN ah three E an ah FOUR! The last flam is on beat 4. song starts on the following one. If I ever dig up my transcription, I'll post it somewhere.
