Vinnie's credits include work with artists such as Herbie Hancock, Jeff Beck, Sting, Megadeth, Faith Hill, Chick Corea and Joe Satriani to name a few.

States Vinnie Colaiuta about his new endorsement:

"You can have the best gear, but if the sticks aren't good the chain is broken. When the sticks are balanced, I feel balanced. They should be transparent – an extension of me. That's what Vic Firth sticks are."

Joe Testa, Director of Artist Relations for Vic Firth Company, reflects:

"I have known Vinnie on a personal level for many years, but this is my first time being able to work with him. To say I am excited would be an understatement. Adding Vinnie to our already stellar family of artists is an honor both personally and professionally."

In April last year, Vinnie also switched to different drums and cymbals. He is now using Ludwig and Paiste.
