Vinnie is certainly one of the most difficult drummers to emulate. His technique and style is very unique and slightly off. I have always said that his drumming seems to come from another planet, because NO ONE plays like him. Definitely one of a kind. \m/ Vinnie.
You know, it is so damn painful to watch him play at times. He's always been like that too. He's probably played this song 5000 times but each time it's the same: he looks like he's suffering, like he doesn't know what to do next... but if you close your eyes and listen... his pocket is so deep (maybe not quite here but still) and has so much hang time. And forget trying to play this song like him. It's near impossible. Great post buddy.
+Big Meanie It's your opinion dude and i respect it :-) But it's only your comment which comes from another planet not him ! There are better rock-metal drummers than those 2 guys by far on this planet and i'm talking about for drummers in their age ! I'm not saying he's bad but .................from another planet i think it's too much !!
You´re right there are many drummers that are way more technical and on spot, but Vinny almost has a style of his own. Similarly like Geezer Butler on bass, you recognize him after a couple of beats.
I've always loved Vinnie....his drumming is always so solid and unique...... always in the groove....and timeless .....but.... very difficult to reproduce Ronnie's voice....... very difficult.....I'm happy to say..... love you Vinnie.....'
Over the years, I've come to admire VA and understand his skills. He's so heavy, like Bonham, but he also lets air in, giving his assaults a loose feel. He rocks, folks. And that tune will be played at my funeral 🤘💥
This proves he is an awesome drummer and has talent. Even after the guitarists odd time signatures during the solo and note misses, he still followed it and didn't stop playing.
+Barbie Grace You don't have to be a great drummer to play with this song dear Barbie ! Ok it's a beautyfull song nobody denies that but it's also an eazy one ! And especially for a guy like him playing for so many years it's a piece of cake ...actually it's the whole cake :-)
The guitarists didn't play "odd time signatures" he played the song. Vinnie played the odd time changes as it was different to the song, if anything he could have out the guitarist off.
I don't judge this performance specifically, but the guitarist is Fabio Cerrone and in the concert I saw as such (lead guitar) in support of Tony Martin (2005), he was stratospheric
As a drummer of 4 plus decades, I understand Vinnies lag on the feels and time. When you've played this song as much as he has, then your going to mix it up. It's about feel, inspiration. You can't say this one or that one is better. It's apples, oranges in comparison with any other drummer. If one wants to get into that game here, its shows your maturity and seasoning.. People just need to relax and let things settle to where they are now. If you don't have the years of real playing experience behind you, then please observe and keep the negative comparisons to yourself.... please.......
miles davis called it swinging. there are those who are born to hear it and those who are not. there is also in classical music, von Karajan stands out from 100 others because in his interpretations he asks for this swing, while all the others play flat.
Vinnie sem duvida e um dos membros do Sabbath com tante importancia como os demais mesbros mais antigos ele ajudou a esculpir o Metal sem duvida sua passagem no Sabbath rendeu verdadeiras obras de arte assim como sua parceria com o saudoso mestre Dio que junto com ele gravou verdadeiras obras de arte para o Heavy Metal como esta obra sagrada Holy Diver, The last linen entre outros discos foderosos que sem ele sem esta furia que ele coloca nas baquetas talvez não tivesse o mesmo brilho uma dupla do barulho kkk !!!
Guitarist wasn’t helping. He was a little off and I’m sure they didn’t rehearse a lot to work on signals. Give it a try he’s not the easiest drummer to copy.
He’s always drummed as if being in treacle, but it works, that slight lag gives the song a certain dynamic.
Vinnie has so much power yet he’s so funky and clean wtf. Definitely deserves more recognition imo. This guy is a monster!

Another one is Nick Mcbrain. Try playing Powerslave LIKE HIM. Impossible.
Love Vinny! Great time. Great licks. People think that's easy tune to play to. Vinny has perfect time and very creative fluid licks.
as a real drummer, you got to love it!!!!

He just has IT!... licks, pocket, soul, timing... WOW!
Pocket is insane and each note has so much meaning ! Love this ...take notes folks ...groooooove !!!
he still feeling every beat of it..fantastic
Another one hit out of the park
I've been patterning my own playing style wise, after Vinny's. When I do heavy rock drumming. My favorite.
Love this dude!
Damn near note for note Vinny...fabulous!

Why would he stop playing in front of the audience? it is the question for me.

Always admired his snakey sidewise playing. Real heavy and powerful, kinda like Bonzo and Alex Van Halen
wait a minute. He hold the right stick between the index and middle fingers!?
Powerful

bravo Vicè \m/ Italy rules
Please guys He is the little bro of the real animal
Where's the audio? What was on their minds? This coulda been a gem!
A fucking ogre, Godzilla, Juggernaut playing the drums. Solid beats, almost destroying evertything. A real monster of heavy metal!!! Great
Pretty sure Vinnie is the drummer on Rock and Roll Hootchie-coo by Rick Deringer. Great track.
The mix sucks… Was the audio guy asleep on the vocal fader
Yeah, the person with the camera phone forgot to plug into the board.
he is powerful as an angry animal =))
Reversed sticks all the way.. VA is a heavy hitter!
Looks like he has the stick between his index and middle finger on his right hand. I'll do that sometimes if my hand cramps up.
It's for twirling
+Zach B Yep and when yer hand cramps too, I've had my sticks duck tapped to my hands when my hands cramped bad cause I knew I would loose them.
Looked to me like his hand was injured.
Carmine uses that grip as well
sorry between his index and middle fingers on his right hand must hurt tha'ts why he looks like he's in pain
Wheres his Brother?
standing the whole time on his left side
The guitar solo blew chunks. And it's amazing how many times live guitar players blow a crucial chicken pick, like just a few notes after 2:30.
+Black Death 1347 what do you mean? I don't understand the phrase "blew chunks"
F. Hawk It means vomiting. In other words, it was terrible (I thought I'd wait more than a year to answer you, to build the suspense).
i've thought about little else
F. Hawk XD
F. Hawk I always like to keep my audience riveted.
they couldnt find a guitarist who's able to play the solo correctly!?
sure, but he's playing chick music in vegas
Why is he holding the stick between his fingers, that's so weird and wrong.
David Morello read that he got tired 1 time and held it like that and it was comfortable and loved it and now always does
Carmine uses that grip as well
Did he forget how to play the song?
Guitarist wasn’t helping. He was a little off and I’m sure they didn’t rehearse a lot to work on signals. Give it a try he’s not the easiest drummer to copy.
peccato che la voce sia praticamente inesistente, si sente solo la chitarra....
Russia can kiss shows like this goodbye thanks to Putin. Godspeed Ukraine! 🙏
Vin, I love ya but that was hard to listen to.
He’s playing great… what are you talking about
vinny's a hack; carmine is a trendsetting professional.
