Power house of a drummer. He hit so hard and yet had the speed and precision to keep everything lined up perfectly. I've watched a good amount of Pantera live shows and i haven't heard him make a mistake once.
@@jimmyfreeman5714Not really, they were always into hard rock/glam/metal. Their dad was a country music producer so I'm sure they were exposed to it...and could do country rock with the best of them if they wanted to.
Vinnie Paul, one of the greatest drummers EVER ! no longer with us ? that is so sad, i hope Vinnie and Dime are kicking up a storm in the afterlife forever,,, R.I.P.
@@rorrycalhoun836 the singer from Skynyrd is sitting in on vocals. Dime is jamming out some freebird! Cliff Burton on bass. I bet Dime could give that solo a whole new meaning. I don’t think these guys were really into heavier stuff before Phil introduced them to stuff like Slayer. Phil said the heaviest band they liked was Metallica when he joined. Dime is jamming out trading licks with Van Halen, Randy Rhodes and Ace- some of his faves. Nm Ace is alive lol 😂
Miss that guy so much. His energy, coolness with the fans and just general over-the-top awesomeness will never be duplicated. A true inspiration for sure.
Sure there are all these "Faster" metal drummers out there, But Vinnies style and personality behind the kit is what makes him my favorite. I know he uses triggers too, But his drum sound was always perfect and on point.
@@dime_stealth4203 I'm not talking down on vinnie at all but I think john was at such a high status because he was that unique and talented at such a young age and he was very influential
...*sigh*....there will never be another Dime...another Vinnie...I hate that yall are gone. But truth be told, you ain't missed nothing. But we all sure miss the hell outta you.
Ten of my favorite Vinnie Paul performances: Primal Concrete Sledge (1990) Fucking Hostile (1992) Becoming (1994) 13 Steps To No Where (1996) *I'll Cast A Shadow* (2000) New Found Power (2004) Get Outta My Life (2006) Matter Of Time (2007) Blood For Blood (2014) I Dont Care Anymore (2016)
Vinnie had this simplistic yet so fucking awesome style that no one else can really replicate. R.I.P Big Vin we'll miss ya and I hope you're rocking with Dime in heaven
I love how they used to light his drum kit back in the day. It used to look like an Olmec head or some death mask or something with the double bass and toms looking like eyes and a nose. Pantera was badass but I think I liked him more in HellYeah. He was just so polished and perfect, so saturated and compressed. I loved his sound on those albums. He truly was a rock God. RIP.
Vinnie Paul played with balls; he was a power house! Amazing, skillful, innovative and drummed differently from his peers…. He was a phenomenal drummer
When him and Dime hit that "groove" it was a new phenomenon in metal. So glad I saw Pantera multiple times. The absolute tightest band ever. Just incredible.
I was blessed to go to Jr.High at Bailey in Pantego Texas and me and my friends would skip class and ride our PK Ripper BMX bikes down the street to the studio and sit outside and listen to them play back in the early days...82-84...smokin weed and lookin up to these older guys and getting a thumbs up from them as they came in and out of the studio, we were the local metal head kids...we knew they would be huge. RIP Vinnie & Dime. They were genuinely good people.
He was such a cool dude, to everyone. No ego b.s., just genuine. Still trips me out he's gone. I can't imagine going out with my friends in Vegas and not seeing him. Perhaps good I'm in a different state, never do well with people passing on.
Back in the 90s I remember saying to people in my band , I've been listening to this kind of thrash / funk kind of band , the album was cfh, I converted the band into pantera fans . Then vulgar came out and was harder and heavier we loved it . When far beyond driven came out it sealed pantera as the one and only thrash ,groove ,metal band that recorded and released harder ,faster ,heavier metal than all the other bands around them , at the time most of the major thrash bands were cutting their hair ,wearing skater clothes ,and trying to fit in with the emerging nu metal scene . Pantera kept thrash alive in the late 90s early 2000s .
When Darrell was killed I for sure thought Vince was done, I figured he wouldn't go on without his right hand man. I'm so glad Vinnie Paul got a new lease on life with Hellyeah. RIP Brick Wall.
That's because that shit was in his head man. He grew up listening as a young lad as his dad was a music producer. Granted, it was country but he learned timing and learner alot growing up from musicians before him. Very smart dude in music Vince was.
Yes sir. He like his drums like he liked his titties.. Vince did it like it should be done. New age shit metal bands should take a look back to the cfh and vulgar days
@@dime_stealth4203 I use shallower toms and I'm no "new age shit" metal drummer. I find the shallower sizes give a kick and less muddied sound without triggers.
I remember my buddy had a think it was a Honda Civic with the most outrageous sound system n we were riding around n I ask if I could play something ( before that we were forced to listen to rob base n whoudini n stuff , which was cool ) so I threw in Cowboys from Hell cassette. He had to pull over n ask “ holy shit !!! What is that !!! “ from then on it was the “mobile metal melee” 🤘🏼 Rip Vinnie 🤟🏼( n thanks for being so nice n personable at phase 2 )
May not have been my favorite drummer but damn he for sure was the loudest I ever heard. His bass drums would beat you up and that was at a open air stadium in Dallas
seeing the crowd screaming Dimebag on the 2005 bit made me shed a tear because was all know why they where saying that. Damn I miss both of them so much.
Not the fastest, not the most technical in modern Metal BUT in my opinion the last one with such an unique sound and style that is heart in a few seconds. Something that Mcbrain, Paice, Ulrich got and millions of modern drummers and their pro tooled Records havent got: Individuality ...and remember: Most great Rock drummers came out of jazz an blues and created so their "weird" grooveness in Rock. Mitchel, Baker,....Vinni comes from southern ans marching styles to metal and so he seems 'bounce' and breath that Heavy stuff. His signature snares arent so "sharp" and "cutty", they fit also warmth and bottom.
Really wish we could have gotten a full Live Pantera concert on video in HD quality. I'm sure they have tons of useable footage. A 101 video would have been insane. They sounded incredible live. RIP Brothers Abbot!
Look up Pantera - Los Angeles 1992, it’s the best recording they ever had, the guy who posted it synced the audio perfectly and it almost feels like you’re their
Vincent Paul Abbott (Dallas, Texas; 11 de marzo de 1964 - Las Vegas, Nevada; 22 de junio de 2018), más conocido como Vinnie Paul, fue un músico y compositor estadounidense, más conocido por haber tocado la batería en las bandas de groove metal Pantera y Damageplan, además de haber permanecido en el grupo Hellyeah, siendo el principal miembro fundador de estas tres bandas. Falleció el 22 de junio de 2018 en Las Vegas, Nevada.
Happy Birthday Vinnie !!
We miss you
A complete legend and model of how to live everyday life
Power house of a drummer. He hit so hard and yet had the speed and precision to keep everything lined up perfectly. I've watched a good amount of Pantera live shows and i haven't heard him make a mistake once.
He had such good feel. Nothing can make me instantly start nodding my head like Vinnie.
Lol. Yep, and their first music background is PURE COUNTRY TOO...FUNNY AS HELL.
@@jimmyfreeman5714Not really, they were always into hard rock/glam/metal. Their dad was a country music producer so I'm sure they were exposed to it...and could do country rock with the best of them if they wanted to.
His drumming is a voice, that future drummers won't be able to replicate, and shouldn't. Every musician has a signature sound they should be proud of.
Yep. There's a bunch of people that cover Vince's shit but it's never the same. He had his own way of doing thangs.
I agree, Vinnie deserves his glory, but it's sad we won't here rythms (improvisations) like this anymore
Vinnie Paul, one of the greatest drummers EVER ! no longer with us ? that is so sad, i hope Vinnie and Dime are kicking up a storm in the afterlife forever,,, R.I.P.
You know they are brother, don't ever doubt that shit.

My favorite metal drummer of all time. Taken way too early. Rest In Peace with your brother and all the other musical greats taken from us.
Miss that guy so much. His energy, coolness with the fans and just general over-the-top awesomeness will never be duplicated.
A true inspiration for sure.
Who knew that a self taught musician can be that talented and influential
He was in marching band. He practiced his rudiments daily. He read music. He was very much taught.
Sure there are all these "Faster" metal drummers out there, But Vinnies style and personality behind the kit is what makes him my favorite. I know he uses triggers too, But his drum sound was always perfect and on point.
Such a great drummer!! Vin was headed for John Bonham status ! RIP Dime and Vinnie 😑😑
Incredible career that spanned 4 decades with 4 bands
In my honest opinion, made it to John's level. Never got much recognition as he was a heavy metal artist.
Word
@@dime_stealth4203 I'm not talking down on vinnie at all but I think john was at such a high status because he was that unique and talented at such a young age and he was very influential
For the people that don't know Jimmy is the best.
No one could touch Pantera. What an awesome time for heavy metal 🤘
True. No one can say something bad either. Pantera is religion.
R.I.P to a legend
...*sigh*....there will never be another Dime...another Vinnie...I hate that yall are gone. But truth be told, you ain't missed nothing. But we all sure miss the hell outta you.

Vinnie Paul, an excellent ,awesome drummer that plays with a sick band
Thanks for this legendary video man. Just got a drumset and I’ve learned so much from this guy. I learned a lot from this video lol. R.i.p Vinnie
One of a kind for GD sure!!! This vid made me smile and cry all in one. RIP VP.
Vinnie Paul! Proud endorser of Remo, Mapex, Pearl, DW, Tama, Yamaha, Premier, Sonor and DDrum.
Seemed like such a nice, positive dude. Loved what he did and you could tell
Vinnie had this simplistic yet so fucking awesome style that no one else can really replicate. R.I.P Big Vin we'll miss ya and I hope you're rocking with Dime in heaven
Simplistic ?
the OP doesnt know what hes talking about. definitely not a drummer. @@Nissardpertugiu
Excellent drummer and excellent person my respect. R.i.p.
2021 and still missing ya!!!!
Same.. lucky enough to see Hellyeah right after blood for blood released, so at least I got that... There will never be another like big vin
For me Vinny Paul was the drummer who continued the legacy of John Bonham!
Badass metal drummer .
Kewl tribute to Vinnie, thank you.
There are other drummers far more technical and some faster, but none can match the gun blast of each of his beats. Relentless, RIP Vinnie🤘

Taken away too early, just like his brother Dime. Rest In Peace guys, you made this world a better place 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻

blessed?
Can't think of a better thing to do ,listening to Pantera on a PK Ripper....👍
The most powerful drummer ever! Pantera was just tough as fk so no one compares! 🤘😎
I miss Vinnie........
He was such a cool dude, to everyone. No ego b.s., just genuine. Still trips me out he's gone. I can't imagine going out with my friends in Vegas and not seeing him. Perhaps good I'm in a different state, never do well with people passing on.
Pantera was by far, hands down, the best fukkin band ever. Period...
He was pretty much ageless.

R.I.P THE GREAT VINNIE PAUL
The man
RIP
Vinnie Paul, Alex Van Halen and Lars. all beasts. RESPECT. RIP. The good die young.
I always like the way he played like a street drummer..no metronome or technics or MIT,just sit and start pound the drums.
That's because that shit was in his head man. He grew up listening as a young lad as his dad was a music producer. Granted, it was country but he learned timing and learner alot growing up from musicians before him. Very smart dude in music Vince was.
Define technical
RIP Vinnie gonna miss ya
He was born in Abilene & I used to watch them every time they played The Basement in Dallas.
This guy played like a machine even when he was drunk. It's nuts.
Huge canons - the way metal kits should be - played with a unique and un replicated style.... sadly the last of a kind 🤘🤘
Yes sir. He like his drums like he liked his titties.. Vince did it like it should be done. New age shit metal bands should take a look back to the cfh and vulgar days

Audio was fucking horrible, but so is life without the best guitar and drum family that ever existed. Rock is not dead, but it is mourning.
Getcha pull
