I just heard Vinnie play the Heuers when he appeared in Vancouver with Paul Simon and Sting. I'm not a big fan of either artist- I have little interest in seeing old guys play their old hits,especially in arenas, but the tickets were free, so I went mainly to see Vinnie. Our seats allowed a great view of the man at work, and he was jaw-droppingly good, as I expected. I first saw him playing with Jeff Berlin at the Baked Potato in LA about 25 years ago. I guess the Heuers sounded good. I'm of the opinion that when you listen to a drum kit miced and processed through a big PA that any nuances in the tone of the drums is lost,especially in an arena. And visually, they were just a bunch of black drums under a canopy of cymbals. Vinnie was actually there as Stings drummer. Paul Simon's drummer was very good, but relatively understated compared to Vinnie. He played a small C&C kit with a second snare drum in place of the rack tom. He also played guitar on a couple songs while he played kick and hats with his feet.
