Vinnie was to Dime what Alex was to Eddie. Both pairs of brothers were incredible musicians and the catalogs of music they left behind will never be forgotten by any of their fans.
His drumming on Revolution Is My Name is pretty awesome too. It’s got lots of twists and turns, and he doesn’t miss a beat, while still being able to add his signature groove to the song.
I was blisteringly drunk and snorting pain pills and smoking weed blaring revolution is my name driving over 100 mph at night w my headlights off on back roads in blue ridge Virginia area with my best friend at the time, I genuinely don't understand how we didn't die but it felt really good.
The way he could be totally solid and in the pocket- mechanical but also groovy at the same time. Always juuuuust slightly behind the beat. Playing the perfect parts for the songs, never overplaying or doing things to show off. Top it off with the most aggressive drum sound and engineering chops so he was a huge part of making the band's sound on records... he was one of my all time favorites and I miss him like crazy
The intro section of Regular People is my absolute favourite bit of Vinnie Paul drumming. The groove he hits with the other two boys on that is absolutely ass-kickingly fantastic.
@@patientmental875 Sure, but on Vulgar Display for example, he's listed as "Vinnie Paul - engineering, mixing, production". He and Terry Date ARE the sound engineers
I was about 11 years old in 92’ when I first heard Pantera’s Vulgar album and I used to listen to it on my parents 500 watt rack system with the 15 inch woofers when they weren’t home and let me tell you Vinnie had the most punchy double bass I’ve ever heard in my life at the time for heavy metal!!! man that shit fucking rattled the whole house 🤘🤘
Cool... NOW, go and listen to Slayer's Divine Intervention album 😏. Not only killer double bass work/sound but? Paul Bostaph's tom fills blow away MOST of the competition IMPO... Rock on 🤘
IMO one of the reasons why Dime could do what he did so well was because of the rhythm section of Rex and Vin being so tight, nearly no band can get the sound they did with one guitar player but Pantera did brutally. RIP to the Brothers!!!! Heavy metal forever ☠️🤘🏻
One of the best of all time...changed the way drums are recorded...and was always on point...not to mention one of the most humble and kind men I've ever met...got to talk to him for a bit in the fall 2017 cpl months b4 he passed... R.I.P. VIN AND DIME... your contributions to the genre and music in general can never be underestimated or forgotten...❣💔
The most rock-solid metal drummer ever. Phil said that in over a decade of playing live together (usually deeply under the influence of alcohol), he could not recall a single time that Vinnie ever made a mistake.
It's a sin to not mention songs like Primal Concrete Sledge, that's some really brutal drumming there and it's way more impressive and original even nowadays than some modern brutal complex extremely fast drumming (likewise every record where Vinnie has played). Or thrash bangers like Heresy or Shattered. Can't forget to mention Becoming ofcourse or Slaughtered. Vinnie knew when comes his time to 'shine', those little 2 sec moment in Slaughtered and then breakdown, that drum china/hi-hat pattern is perfection. Then Great Southern Trendkill, some of Vinnie's best work in my opinion. His drum fills, agression and that sound... disgustingly delicious. You can say same thing about Reinventing The Steel. You can hear on every Vinnie's record that he played with sooo much power. Basically you can say every Pantera song from Pantera era we all know has extremely original drumming, guitar work etc. just Pantera man... Those guys have known exactly when is time to slow down, speed up, go brutal af, go complex or straight forward. Really, really special and unique band. Lars Ulrich is first guy who inspired me to drum. Dave Lombardo made me play faster, groovy, technical fills and took my playing to next level. Vinnie taught me how to play with more power and groove and try different, unusual playing like 13 Steps to Nowhere for example. And Joey Jordison showed me how to play way more crazy and 'little bit random' way if you know what i mean. There are many drum heroes who i look up to, but if i'd pick the biggest, then these 4 legends. RIP to all of our music heroes.
I just liked the way he drummed more than anyone else, dude knew how to compliment the music with out getting in te way. Vinnie was, to me, the most tasteful of the metal drummers.
I think hearing 13 steps was a pivotal moment for me. I already knew the deal with Dimebag, being the best of the best, but hearing him and his brother jam out in that song made me realise their journey in music is very much a shared one. One could not be one without the other. May they both rest eternally while their mark on this planet lives on.
Dime is Dime and his solos stole my attention back, but Vinnie is the first thing I recognised in a Pantera soundscape. The dude could make it swing any which way he wanted. He was driving the bus.
Thank you for the video and giving our beloved Vinnie Paul a chance to shine once again and maybe some new.listeners now can be aware of this amazing drummer. Salute!
I always liked the way Vinnie could switch gears from section to section. Primal Concrete Sledge is a great example. Double bass sixteenths through the majority of the song until the breakdown then into the triplets, then kicks it back into the sixteenths. The guy was dripping with groove. Sure do miss him. One of my all-time favorites.
This was excellent. Gives you the opportunity to see how unique of a drummer Vinnie was. It's hard to hear these parts with the music in the background but this video fixes that. Thanks
Been saying this for a long time. One of the best and moreover grooviest metal drummers of all time. Too bad he had to die for people to truly recognize and appreciate his talent...
Ive always considered both Dime and Vinnie to be the best Metal Duo ever, period. Yes, i know Eddie and Alex, but Dime and Vinne were "On a New Level" 😎
@@julianosilva6125 nah sorry but Max couldn't match dimebag's level, Max and Igor is a good duo but technically speaking dime and Vinnie were way more technical, tighter, and groovier. I like sepultura too don't get me wrong but Pantera was at a new level.
Becoming has always been my fave, its one of only a few songs i couldn't play on drums from pantera when i was a teenager growing up learning drums, and STILL can't do it lol
I love how Vinnie never used a click track , music that's recorded without a click sounds more energetic ,real and you are able to hear a drummers style and flow , on songs with clicks ,they sound sterile and dead .
Damn, it is just so weird to see pics from back in their glam metal days. Anyway, awesome video, awesome drummer, awesome music. As for who should be next, how about D.D. Verni? Always loved his bass sound.
Big Vin not only held it down with Rex but also laid his bass drum beats with Dimebags riffs, covered all the bases. Seen Pantera twice and they never disappointed.
Im not a lars fan, but he did whale on master of puppets and garage days . Oh and st. Anger just kidding 😁And he also inspired a generation of drummers
I really miss the Abbott Brothers! They both played with speed and heart that always showed up in their music! Maybe there’s faster or whatever but as a unit nobody can touch Pantera as a whole!
I enjoy listening to Vinnie every bit as much as i enjoy listening to Dime. They were both God tier. I generally have to pay attention to just one at a time because my brain cant handle the overload of rocket sauce
Maaan, one of my favourite drummers no doubt. Apart from the groove I just love how the drum lines interact directly with the guitar riffs so much, not something you hear a lot in bands.
I think by him and Dime always playing together made both of them incredibly talented bc one would learn off of the other and follow each other's cadences and in order to stay tight with the complexity of the rhythm they had to be right on it. If you notice that when Vinnie started playing with Hell Yeah his drumming got more simplistic when Dime wasn't there.
So good 🔥 would be cool to see another two brothers in isolation 😄 GOJIRA But please include bass lines as well! Very extraordinary bass fills in my opinion
I still can't believe that they are no longer amongst us they kept metal alive throughout the 90s when Corporate executives decided for us they were going to pull the plug on metal and spoon fead us grunge was going to take its place I didn't understand the thinking behind it and the business side of it revenue wise they could have let them both coexist and made a Killing now look metal is still alive and well thanks to these two guys and skid row I feel the absence of their presence Dime was my favorite guitar player his style was so different from everyone else in the metal scenes like a breath of fresh air I remember hearing cemetery gates for the first time like it was yesterday also the sleep solo then by demons be driven and list go's on oh my God the feel that he brought to the table I miss him and Vinny Paul even the Damage plan stuff still burns holes in me .
If any of you are into his last band Hellyeah - there's a good dosage of that Pantera sound in there. Vince's mere presence and unique style of drumming pushed that band into that direction the last couple albums. I especially love Vince's drumming on the track "Human". There's so much trademark Pantera spirit in that kickass track.
The thing that set Vinnie apart from other metal drummers in my opinion being a metal drummer myself was the patterns that Vinnie would implement with his feet on the bass drums. They majority of metal drummers don't do this and it gave him a flare and terrific sound that was his own. Never noticed the extent of it til I seen him playing by himself. He really was a great drummer. Right at the 4:12 Mark is a good example ..not the best I have heard him do, but it's good.
Thank you for this. You captured some of the best drumming and isolated It. Now could you just do this to alll these songs in full length and post them?
Judas Priest "TOUCH OF EVIL". An absolutely phenomenal song. That whole album (Painkiller) was an absolute work of art. Glen Tipton and K.K Downing was playing at their highest level, that drummer from Racer X they got at that time and Halford was ridiculous! R.I.P. Vinnie & Darrell, you are some of the best the world will ever know.
I haven’t even watched this video and I’m all about it. I was - and still am - totally a Metallica nerd. Love those guys. BUT when I first heard CFH the first thing that blew me away was THE BRICK WALL. Groove MASTER. Sensei Vincent. Seriously, truly, the most criminally overlooked drummer in the HISTORY of rock. Unparalleled.
I feel Vinnie was on par with Igor Cavalera from Sepultura one of metal’s best drummers. They both had such a great classic style of playing that stood out. Him and Dimebag were really gifted it’s a shame we lost them.
With the Darell brothers, craftmanship always came before posership. Both were remarkable talents and made it look so easy what they did. Their talent can never be matched by anyone and it is what made Pantera the band that they were.
Im a big dime fan, but i always think Vinnie Paul was overlooked. He made Pantera super heavy/tight with his drumming. Dont think they wouldve been as successful a group without his great drum work
I love those kick kick snare triplets. It sounds like when people speak Spanish with a rolling ‘R’ 1:59 Dude, Revolution is My Name shoulda been included
First time seeing your channel, and I already see a Lars comment, what people don’t stop to think about is how in tune Lars was with James, not sure if you’ve done one on him, but honestly if people could just really soak him in they might realize how good he is “was” I know he’s an old boy now but back in the day. Not a single other drummer on the planet could do what he did for metallica. And they usto do like 3 hr sets, to me he’s one of the worlds best and I can say that proud, I may catch shit for it but I don’t care what anyone thinks. Every nuance every hit on 3 or off time cymbal hit was incredible in my eyes, ya he wasn’t the most flashy, but he was killing it. Love him always will. Don’t care what anyone says. He was a master of his craft in the early days. I’d bet some would agree with me too! Also music is for each and every one of us to take our own way! People may think I’m crazy but I think I’m right. He’s an all time great. No one else could have done it that was with such style and every hit meaning so much
Also this has nothing to do with Vinnie he is also a fucking mastermind for Pantera his drumming was absolutely amazing not a single other drummer on the planet could hav done better for Pantera! Vinnie rocks hard! Love him
That end groove on the double bass drums on Becoming always amazes me. I was never a fan of his deep thud tom sound. The musical boom of Bill Andrews' tom sound on the Death albums Leprosy and Spiritual Healing is more what I'm into. But you cannot criticise Vinnie's drumming. It was always on point.
His gallop his smoothness or probably some of the best you'll ever hear especially for double bass you should have did domination that gives you a really good aspect of how good he was and the technical he was
Never ever figured the tracks were so filled with reverb. Is it just my imagination or is he leaning as behind in beat on those Far Beyond Driven tracks as he can, making them so heavy? I think in general he plays fairly behind. Something I remember Devin Townsend commenting about Gene Hoglan's drumming that he loved playing with Gene because he played behind enough so Devin could lean onto it and play really heavy sounding riffs.
The breakdown from Slaughtered, hands down! I was actually surprised at how sloppy some of those isolated tracks sounded. Not to mention the drum sounds, by the book, are atrocious. Pantera is one of those bands that just works and nobody can figure out why. I love it!
In keeping with the metal drummer theme, Gene Hogland would be a fascinating choice. Truly one of the all-time great extreme metal drummers, not just for his talent and style, but also for his musical influence as a song writer.

Charlie benante. Dude is a beast
Definitely Charlie Benante
Anyone in Gojira, RATM, Testament, and more. Maybe Vinny Appice, or Rob Trujillo as well. They don't get enough love.
Neil Peart...Rush
Lars, to shut up all the haters.
Vinnie is rock solid. He knows how to let the music breathe. He doesn't over do it.
His drumming on the song Becoming is exceptionally good and I love his drumming on the song Slaughtered.
Agreed. Almost deliberately left those for a part 2 😉
as a drummer of 15 years. that shit is downright incredible
Two of my favourite songs on the drums. Slaughtered could be Pantera's most ferocious tune.
@@ggates2500 slaughtered has always been my favorite for the utmost brutal PanterA tune. Far beyond driven is also my favorite album.
Slaughtered all day son
Vinnie was to Dime what Alex was to Eddie. Both pairs of brothers were incredible musicians and the catalogs of music they left behind will never be forgotten by any of their fans.
👌👌❤️
Gojira has a drummer/guitarist brother set and they are tight
Much like Ed overshadowed Alex, Dime did with Vin but both drummers were incredible
Ed donated his yellow Frankenstein guitar to be buried with dime . They only met recently before he died .
Phil added the finishing facet to the gem that would be Pantera. Too bad egos are relentless and vicious. Anyhoo...
He is the Blueprint for a Metal drummer. With groove and tech ability. A metal Bonham 😁
@@markusaurelius777 a metal version of bonham. Ian paice is a comparison not vinny
🤦
Right on

Heresy has some bad ass drumming

Wait, what? Vinnie WAS the beat 🤠
Jokes aside, I do agree with you.
Dude played like a machine. You could set a metronome after that guy. Insanely tight and on point. Just like his younger brother.
You meant Raymond Herrera
The intro section of Regular People is my absolute favourite bit of Vinnie Paul drumming. The groove he hits with the other two boys on that is absolutely ass-kickingly fantastic.
he has one of the best sounding tones for his drums
Thank the sound engineer

Slaughtered middle section is one of my favs
Yes indeed. You can't adequately cover Vinnie's body of work w/out the double paradiddle breakdown in Slaughtered being mentioned.
IMO one of the reasons why Dime could do what he did so well was because of the rhythm section of Rex and Vin being so tight, nearly no band can get the sound they did with one guitar player but Pantera did brutally. RIP to the Brothers!!!! Heavy metal forever ☠️🤘🏻
You’re so right. Vinnie and Rex’s infectious groove they throw down behind dime is something to behold
Damn straight

@@markusaurelius777 yeah I mean ofc every musician makes mistakes, the question is how good they deal with it.
Ive always considered both Dime and Vinnie to be the best Metal Duo ever, period. Yes, i know Eddie and Alex, but Dime and Vinne were "On a New Level" 😎
I couldn’t have said it better!
Max Cavalera and Igor Cavalera from Sepultura.
A new level ? Of confidence ?
@@julianosilva6125 nah sorry but Max couldn't match dimebag's level, Max and Igor is a good duo but technically speaking dime and Vinnie were way more technical, tighter, and groovier. I like sepultura too don't get me wrong but Pantera was at a new level.

He is 10x better than lars (started a war lol)
Lol. You could say that about most drummers.
Bro!! anyone thats a Drummer is better than Lars😂
50000x better
Im not a lars fan, but he did whale on master of puppets and garage days . Oh and st. Anger just kidding 😁And he also inspired a generation of drummers
So am I and I’m not even a drummer 😂
I really miss the Abbott Brothers! They both played with speed and heart that always showed up in their music! Maybe there’s faster or whatever but as a unit nobody can touch Pantera as a whole!
Vinnie was a damn machine...always on time& never missing a beat!!! R.I.P. DIMEBAG & VINNIE!!!!
Def underrated. Him and his bro were locked the fuck in. 🤘🏻
The first time I heard Pantera I was a kid in the 90s I was instantly hooked!
I enjoy listening to Vinnie every bit as much as i enjoy listening to Dime. They were both God tier. I generally have to pay attention to just one at a time because my brain cant handle the overload of rocket sauce
The double kick pattern in Becoming absolutely blew me away the first time I heard it. So damn tasty!!
Vinnie and Rex locked in man. When Dime is soloing the rhythm could really shine
Becoming. It is absolutely amazing. When I first hear that song, I didn’t even know that was possible.
he hits hard AF and his tones are amazing

So good 🔥 would be cool to see another two brothers in isolation 😄 GOJIRA
But please include bass lines as well! Very extraordinary bass fills in my opinion
some vinnie grooves i think are absolutely insane is the primal concrete sledge groove, and becoming! inhuman footwork. rip vinnie

Every nuance every hit on 3 or off time cymbal hit was incredible in my eyes, ya he wasn’t the most flashy, but he was killing it. Love him always will. Don’t care what anyone says. He was a master of his craft in the early days. I’d bet some would agree with me too! Also music is for each and every one of us to take our own way! People may think I’m crazy but I think I’m right. He’s an all time great. No one else could have done it that was with such style and every hit meaning so much
Also this has nothing to do with Vinnie he is also a fucking mastermind for Pantera his drumming was absolutely amazing not a single other drummer on the planet could hav done better for Pantera! Vinnie rocks hard! Love him
That end groove on the double bass drums on Becoming always amazes me. I was never a fan of his deep thud tom sound. The musical boom of Bill Andrews' tom sound on the Death albums Leprosy and Spiritual Healing is more what I'm into. But you cannot criticise Vinnie's drumming. It was always on point.
The groove man... The groove. If ya got it, ya got it.
I love those kick kick kick snare triplets. It’s like when people speak Spanish with a rolling ‘R’
oh and as for who to do next either king diamond or mercyful fate or both!
Vince was a monster . And to be a bigger dude doing that is impressive.
Have a SIGNED drum head from Vinnie from 92' SLC, Ut, Saltaire. Yes, I do....
His gallop his smoothness or probably some of the best you'll ever hear especially for double bass you should have did domination that gives you a really good aspect of how good he was and the technical he was
His drumming on Slaughtered was insane
Never ever figured the tracks were so filled with reverb. Is it just my imagination or is he leaning as behind in beat on those Far Beyond Driven tracks as he can, making them so heavy? I think in general he plays fairly behind. Something I remember Devin Townsend commenting about Gene Hoglan's drumming that he loved playing with Gene because he played behind enough so Devin could lean onto it and play really heavy sounding riffs.
He once said most drummers are playing for other drummers. He knew what worked.
Vinnie was the reason I started playing drums.
The breakdown from Slaughtered, hands down! I was actually surprised at how sloppy some of those isolated tracks sounded. Not to mention the drum sounds, by the book, are atrocious. Pantera is one of those bands that just works and nobody can figure out why. I love it!
In keeping with the metal drummer theme, Gene Hogland would be a fascinating choice. Truly one of the all-time great extreme metal drummers, not just for his talent and style, but also for his musical influence as a song writer.
the engineer / producer got great drum sounds. I like how the cymbals are very low in the mixed
No debate. Pantera was lighting in the bottle. Each album each song. ❤ RIP metal gods
Vince Paul the Brick Wall 🤘
