Vinnie Colaiuta

Born: February 5, 1956

Vincent Colaiuta is a highly regarded drummer based in Los Angeles. Originally from Brownsville, Pennsylvania, he began playing drums as a child and received his first full drum kit from his parents at the age of 14. After attending the Berklee College of Music in Boston for a year, Colaiuta relocated to Los Angeles and made a mediocre living playing with lounge bands.

The audition was successful and Colaiuta went on to work with Zappa as his principal drummer for studio and live performances
