Biography

I've been drumming since age 12, and in Saint Motel for 19 years. Drumming and collaborating with my peers has been the most rewarding and wonderful dream careers I could've ever imagined. I pinch myself almost every time I get to step on stages all over the world and get to do the thing I love the most : )

They are a little more chocolaty than the classic 602s”, describes Vinnie Colaiuta.
