You're exactly right. My band opened up for them during the bvs tour and you could tell by all security we had to go through to meet him he still didn't feel completely safe which I don't blame him. God Bless the Abbott family.
You can really see here how hard he hits, yet he is so groovy and fluent around the kit. One of my favorite drummers to sit behind a drum kit, Vinnie's creativity had no limits and the man could play fast or slow and do it all with a smile on his face.
All the heavy drummers of the world will tell you how heavy Vinnie was. He was like controlled Thunder & if u ever were lucky enough to see him live then you know what I mean. RIP Vinnie & Dime. 2 legit GOATS!🤘🏼🤘🏼💪🏼💪🏼😝😝
If you are a drummer or even had a chance to spot a drumhead you can see a lot of signs all around, Vinnie's drumheads only had signs on the centre, he was very precise and clean other than heavy. Controlled thunder is a great definition for this legend
Damn he hits hard. Just incredible. For his size. To be that fast. I saw Pantera multiple times and he never was off. Did not get a chance to see Hellyeah unfortunately. Just a force of nature. Alex and Eddie. Vince and Darrell. 2 sets of brothers that made iconic music. This footage is incredible. Thank you!
Vinnie was one of the purest people on the face of the fucking earth. Had the pleasure of working at the Clubhouse from 2017 up until it closed in March of 2019. Every time Vinnie came in it was a fuckin party. Dude was one of a kind. He came in one night and asked me my name, the next night he came back in and REMEMBERED IT. Fucking legend!!! 333
@@integrity101 yeah after Vinnie passed away the owner decided to change it into a Rap Club, now known as 'Aces of Dallas', a shooting happened not long after they opened killing 3 people
@@joshgarcia93 Wasnt Vince & Darrell the owners? I guess i was wrong. I thought they owned it. Wow a shooting too? Weird. Bummer. Its a shame its not the clubhouse anymore.
Legend. So thankful I met Vinnie twice…he couldn’t have been any nicer of a guy. ‘94 at the Camelot Music Mayfield Heights, Ohio FBD album release signing. Only guy in the band that gave fans the time of day. Shook hands, chatted, just a class act. Then in ‘96 or ‘97 I’m working at the old Brendamour’s Sporting Goods in Toledo, Ohio. Day before the show at the Toledo Sports arena he walks in and buys a new pair of drumming shoes - Reebok Club C’s - from me. I shit myself when he walked in, couldn’t believe it. Again, so nice to everybody - took time to talk to me for a few minutes. Such a good dude. RIP VP
This goes to show how talented Vinnie Paul was but also how tight he was, just think this was recorded in 2011, he'd only been with hellyeah since 2006 and Dime had only died 6 years prior and to see him loving his life and enjoying drums and music just shows the strength of the man. I was fortunate enough to see Vinnie Paul live and I feel sorry for the future generation that will never get to see him live. Vinnie Paul was truly a master of modern metal drumming and he will be missed forever. Vinnie must of went through hell to keep playing knowing he kept going for himself and for Dimebag. He was one hell of a guy and he earned the respect of everyone. RIP Dimebag Darrell and Vinnie Paul
Bob brings nothing but the best content from the musical vaults of holy grail footage seeing Vinnie pulverize his set during concerts.....The smile on his face is priceless he definitely loved what he did and his musical life on and off stage. Rest in peace the Abbot brothers
Not the fastest, trickiest, most mind blowing but easily the most solid, tight and in the pocket drummer with the best sound in all of metal for me hands down.and that’s more important for me. Vinnie is a machine my favorite drummer🤘🤘
Vinnie intentionally held back and stayed in the pocket. He was massively talented and always played way inside his ability. I have never heard him make a single... Mistake... Live.... Ever.
This dude here man...every song he has every touched in pantera, damage plan, and hellyeah....was absolute gold....nobody could have or ever do what all them songs needed like he did....RIP one of the best drummers ever
Bouncing drums. I love all the greats who got us all here, but you know you've got a heavy hitting bad ass when the the drums are bouncing and rocking all over the place. I bet subconsciously Vinnie Paul knows where a drum will be, in that particular part of the beat, and how to swing, to hit the drum in the perfect spot, for the best sound and optimum response, even though the drum is not in the same place as it was before everything started bouncing around. Ive been playing for a while, and in my time I've watched drum sets morph into huge instruments....with lots and lots of cymbals. The greats that inspired me had a crash, and a ride...thats all. There's drums and cymbals everywhere now. Kick ass video. I love seeing it up close. There were no drum cams back in the day either. Great invention. Rest in Peace Vinnie Paul
Vinnie & Dime will always be in the minds of every Metal band out there two legends taking from us way to soon they have inspired so many other bands in the way they play there very much so missed R.I.P
We dont really notice how many licks we stole as kids from this drum god until we go back and look at the vids. Thank you for making this and keeping him alive for the future bad asses to learn from.
Vinny Paul not my favorite drummer but damn sure can say he's the heaviest drummer I've heard live. Seen him with Pantera, Damage Plan and Hell Yeah, that bass drum wouldn't let you breathe it hit so hard
I am so grateful to God to have been able to see in concert Pantera, Damageplan, and Hellyeah each one time. If we all could go back though, we would be hitting more concerts and a lot harder. Thank you and God bless you for the greatest music of our lives Vinnie and Dime.
I was fortunate to have met Vinnie Paul and visit his grave aswell as Dimebag Darrells grave, it's good to finally see a drum cam of him after all these years, I wish there was more drum cams of him especially to see his technique but also that smile on his face when he's drumming, both Abbott brothers lived to play live \m/ RIP Dimebag Darrell and Vinnie Paul
The one of very few that has pulled me out of a ditch.... His memory is well alive.... Long live the fan to the left ..... Stay cool Vinnie!!! Stay in the overtaking lane old kid....
This brings me so much joy!! Thanks for the upload, got to see Hellyeah in Sydney just a few months before vinnies passing. Incredible live. R.I.P legend.
This is some major bad assery here!! Vinny Paul was a monster behind the kit!! Rest In Peace Big Dog and enjoy jamming with brother Dime in the great gig in the sky! Thanks for the music bro!🤘
For me Vinnie and Nick Menza were my 2 favourite metal drummers, both sadly gone and very sorely missed. Those 2 drummers played on pretty much all my most favourite tracks.
In his own vinnie Paul in my eyes was 1 of the greatest drummers to had lived in his days I love vinnie he is my idle even though he is now drumming in heaven he inspired me to be the great drummer I am today thanks vinnie may you R.I.P my brother love ya brother
i saw vinny a few year ago here in new orleans and i was backstage watching him wreck the set, he was will Hell Yeah...my buddies sons of texas opened up for them...it was awsesome
Maaaaaan this is sooooooo awesome!!So glad i got to see Pantera....and also superglad i actually got to share stage with the Hellyeah dudes at BloodStock ,England, in 2014...we (Blood Red Throne) played the same stage as the,as the warmup.Will never forget it .And seeing Vinnie play those drums..was killer.Thanx for killer upload,BOB :) Greetings from Norway,Stefan
@John Hungsternum Thank you soo much.I was not a permanent member..but as they are my friends..i played quite a few gigs with them back in 2013 and 2014..so it was cooool as hell.There are some videos here on youtube from the Bloodstock shows...if you search for Blood Red Throne Bloodstock..you do find a video of the song "Smite" at least if i remember correctly. Yeah..i saw Pantera in 2000 in Norway.,..was amazing.I have a drumstick and a drumhead from Vinnie..which is my "precious" you might say :) Coooool that you have been to Norway .Greeeeetings man,STefan :)
Beside Bonham,, VP in his career was POWER DRUMMING,,it's actually really hard to play hard n still groove,very few drummer have this gift,, Tommy Lee, Dave Lombardo, Tommy Aldridge , maybe Lars in earlier yrs
So tight live, always remaining right in the pocket, power for days and an envious snare rim-shot. I still love to play many of Vinnie’s PANTERA drum tracks to this day, regularly warming up on songs like ‘Slaughtered’ and ‘Throes of Rejection’. Edit : Metal Royalty. R.I.P.
Just imagine if Pantera worked out their problems, if dime didn’t get shot, and if Vinnie never died. Pantera’s music would still be as inspiring as it is to this day RIP Vinnie and Dime 🙏

OH FUCK YES IT IS! Just watching him and his technique I now know how certain fills and shit are played on Pantera songs that I play.
@@musiclover6751 hell yeah man you can really tell he loved hertas and triplets
I'm checking it out right now. I'm excited
He’s w Dime again🔥

Saw them 3 times. He converted me from a guitar player to drummer. He was something special.
I've always thought Vinnie's GROOVE is so frickin sweet....so solid like a freight train in the pocket!!!! BIG RESPECT
The most positive outcome of your passing is knowing you're jamming with your brother again. We miss you guys a lot. Rest easy my brother.
Damn he hits hard. Just incredible. For his size. To be that fast. I saw Pantera multiple times and he never was off. Did not get a chance to see Hellyeah unfortunately. Just a force of nature.
Alex and Eddie.
Vince and Darrell. 2 sets of brothers that made iconic music. This footage is incredible. Thank you!
Max and igor
it has always been guitars n drums between brothers
Mario n fuckin joe from gojira !
One of the greatest heavy metal drummers of all time. I wish they had this type of drum cam with Pantera .
He was so solid. His drumming introduced me to metal.
Agreed pantera was one of the first I got into the first metal band
My hero. A hard hitting groove machine.
Did anyone else get emotional watching this or am i the only one?😢
Vinnie was the best at grooving to the song and glueing it together, what a beast he was with that powerful sound
Yeah he uses triggers in the kicks
Make that shit deep and tight lol
The king of
Thrash
Metal drumming rip vinnie and dime
There's nobody like Vinnie! So incredibly missed! Glad he's back with Dime! Rest easy fellas! 😔🔥🙏🤘
Neil Peart?
Never met him nor did I know him yet I miss him. Rest in peace Vinnie. 3 years already

The sound of the snare is out of this world... heavy as fuck! RIP Vince!
Vinnie hits so damn hard, there's always chunks flying from his sticks. And i love he holds the sticks upside down for more power.
The man had to use gloves because of the blisters in his hands damn, hits like a hammer R.I.P.

I thought I was the only one who rested his left hand on his leg in between snare hits.
Igor Cavalera is a great 'leg rester' to
Its such a honor playing on vinnies drum kit.
When did you play on his kit?
That looks like so much fun it's like a dance!!
