The auditions for his band were gruelling, according to Steve Vai and Chad himself. Two pieces of music, “Mo ‘n Herb’s Vacation”, and “The Black Page” were considered exceptionally difficult. Only three drummers throughout Zappa’s career were able to play them successfully: Wackerman, Terry Bozzio, and Vinnie Colaiuta.
