    Rock-solid drumming from Vinny as usual. One of the greatest rock drummers in my opinion. He plays for the song, not for himself.

    I keep seeing comments that say Vinnie is underappreciated and underrated. Fact is any serious rock drummer knows him and appreciates the Hell out of him and rates him very high as a drummer, influence and icon in drumming. Even his Brother who inspired him to play to begin with.

    • @markdemell3717

      Carmine said in an interview at Drumeo in Canada that Vinnie was faster than him.

      I agree with everything you are saying. And I still think he’s very underrated. I also think it destroys his more famous brother in terms of groove pocket chops sound technique performance everything.

    Vinny is the perfect example of an undeniably great drummer who plays modestly and tastefully. Dumb asses think "oh that's so easy" like it's a fucking competition. Try playing along with this and you'll realize that you're not as good as you thought you were. It's hard to keep time on any instrument. This just kills and grooves at the same time. Much love!

      Your comment propobly is refering to amature drummers because for a non amature drummer this song is a piece of cake .. actually it's the whole cake !

    *I always loved Vinnie's Bonhamesqe' way of lagging his snare and tom hits... Without dropping the BPM tempo, it makes it all feel a little slower than it actually is, thus giving the groove the feel of a giant monster like King Kong or Godzilla stomping along, marching towards their doomed prey...*

    Vinny was Dio’s right-hand man. Played with him in Black Sabbath twice, played with him in the band DIO, as well as Heaven & Hell, and played drums on a tribute album to Dio when he died. If that’s not the most devout friendship, then nothing is.

    How awesome it is to realize just how much a particular drummer has influenced you over those awkward but necessary formative years. Vinny's playing first captivated me with his work on Black Sabbath's "Mob Rules." Since then, his ability to create spacious patterns, to postpone the 2 & 4, not to mention his down beats as ell, and then there's his inner clock which gives him the ability not to speed up the end of his rolls even when the roll pattern of choice moves from quarters to sixty-fourths across two bars, mind you. And then there's that classic Bonham roll at 3;29, which Dio himself was quite fond of as well. Thanks Vinny for all the inspiration you've provided to me and legions of heavy drummers the world over.

    Listen up kiddies... School is in. Anyone who thinks Vinny is a sloppy drummer isn't paying attention. He is quite simply one of the most technical drummers in Rock. Duplicating his style is very difficult due to the nuance that he uses. I love Vinny Appice and feel that he has been somewhat underrated. Keep in mind the size of the set that he uses and what he is able to accomplish with his set up. For me he is in my top 5 all time best drummers. Study hard and learn.
