Welcome to the world of the fathers of Groove Metal. Vinnie was an absolute beast, and his chemistry with his brother Dime was unbelievable. You should REALLY check out the video for "I'm Broken". You'll get a great sense of what this band was like to witness. This is a rabbithole that goes DEEP.

[@Robje300]

But the grandfathers are Prong.

[@BillyBong]

I hate the term groove metal. Doesn't convey how heavy Pantera was. Makes them sound like pussy shit.

​@@Robje300 I beg to differ... ;)

[@sambt123]

let’s not recommend the lame mainstream songs, he should check out “primal concrete sledge” “becoming” or “slaughtered” for vinnies drumming

[@t_bone12571]

Vinnie was all about the groove and accentuating his brother's riffs, he played with serious power. Matter of fact, his drums were Power sizes, with two 24" bass drums, 14", 15" and 18" toms (all squared sizes); the snare was usually eight inches deep by fourteen, with an assortment of Sabian cymbals. Vinnie also engineered on all the albums, he learned how to engineer by working in his father's home studio. May Vinnie, Dime, Carolyn and Jerry Abbott all rest peacefully.

[@waynecanning4122]

AND his sticks were baseball bats. They had NO taper to them. It looked like he played with them backwards

[@t_bone12571]

@@waynecanning4122 Yeah, he used the butt ends of the sticks, he reckoned he got more power out the hits that way. He also wore gloves, but he'd wind up with a lot of blisters, so he wasn't mucking around! I don't know if he ever broke any cymbals but he would have busted a lot of sticks!

[@proboz]

@@waynecanning4122 Vic Firth Rock Crusher models!

[@Nmdixon-cu7vm]

One my favorite drum part of his that is a good example of what you’re saying is the mid section of heresy. Vinnie does some ratmacues along with Dimebag’s guitar and the whole thing sounds so good.

[@eihtballjnky]

It’s crazy because bill ward from Black Sabbath said the same thing he would just follow the riffs the whole band would just follow the riffs that’s why it felt so heavy

[@TheArkhamRebellion]

@@AlanAlan-w7u I should have seen that coming. I'm obviously not a streetwise son of a bitch

[@thehawk05]

What I always loved about Vinnie……he never overplayed anything like so many drummers do in the metal community. It was never about flash or showing off his technical chops (which he had in spades of course) Everything he did fit the song and more importantly, served the song. Was fortunate enough to meet him once. All the stories you heard about him (and Dime) are true. Told him how much I appreciated all the music he and his brother blessed us with and he was nothing but kind, humble and grateful. Legend

[@RobertBoston-n4d]

Yeah thats right, he would throw in just enough prog'fu to let you know he could do it. And he wouldn't unless it added to the song.

[@jeremeweatherbee1667]

13 Steps, Slaughtered, and Becoming.

[@rossfree796]

Slaughtered and THEN Shedding Skin on 1 ALBUM 🔥

[@killdozer3464]

what a perfect song to introduce a drummer to Pantera.

[@BayouMaccabee]

I was thinking the same thing.

[@MrDanilop45]

As a bass player I have always loved how they make space for it during the solo. The change of sound is great and absolutely beautiful. One of their signature features for sure.

[@TheHominidShow]

I love that, particularly in 'Five Minutes Alone'. When the bass pops out in that solo and Rex is really showing off... absolutely glorious! In fact, I'm going to listen to it now!

[@WilliamClark-uj1uo]

That's one thing the Abbott brothers took from the Van Halen brothers. No rhythm guitarist, it holds the groove down.

[@AnthonyHerring-xw2ch]

Yeah man. I'm a bass player n most times bass players just copy the gat riff. Pantera created whole new grooves beneath the solos. Walk, floods, cowboys etc. Rex is a machine

[@FLmetalhead]

They knew live the rhythm guitar would drop out so they started recording it that way. On CFH there are some rhythm guitar under the solo.

[@johndeeregreen4592]

Also being a bassist, I can say this: with Pantera only having one guitarist, you better be ready to carry the rhythm and fills. Not many bassists can handle taking over the entire rhythm section the way Rex Brown can.

[@alterego6075]

Tightest metal band ever. RIP Abbott Brothers. You are truly missed.

[@pearlguy6351]

I saw Pantera 26 years ago here in San Antonio Texas back in 1998 I was around 13 years old when I first heard Vinny Paul play I was blown away I had the privilege to see the Pantera tribute last year in Dallas Tx Charlie B from Anthrax absolutely played every song note for note excellent rendition

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

That must have been something!

[@antoniocarlin5026]

I saw them too! 3 times 1997-98 with Anthrax and Kiss and 2 years ago in the New Pantera reunión with Judas Priest and Mercyful Fate!!😊

[@edwardmunoz7853]

​​I was there 🤘Falfurruas,Tx@@javiergarza7091

[@petrilampela]

Their song "Becoming" has one of the sickest drum beats I've ever heard in my life, I don't have a clue how Vinnie got the idea to play that against the guitar riff but it's so awesome. I'm no drummer but it has to be a tricky pattern to play. So glad I got to see them live in the nineties, there were several warm-up acts so we were far outside the venue drinking beer and didn't keep track of time but it only took one hit to the kick drum for me to realize that their soundcheck had started. Such a distinctive sound, like a wet dishcloth being slammed to the sink.

[@rogerwalker2224]

In an interview I saw, Dime actually came up with the riff to match the drums.

[@drums4lyfe0987]

I’m jealous you get to hear all the great Pantera songs for the first time.

[@dustinlanzendorfer9111]

13 Steps to Nowhere is one of Vinnie's best songs, imo. Such a dope and catchy groove.

[@andyfrancis5277]

I'm 58, here's to us OG metalheads. Kids today will never experience live music the way we did. General admission (no reserved seating) no seats on the floor and you could damned near put your elbows on the stage. I remember a Judas Priest concert where we were so packed by the stage, my feet were off the ground for a good 2-3 minutes during a song 🤘😝 YEAH, I may be old but I saw all the good bands, cheap!!!

[@Keenonhang]

I’m 50 in another year or so. I still love pantera and metal and listen to it loads. I saw Pantera in 93 in Dublin and they were unbelievable. One of the best gigs I’ve ever seen.

Vinnie was a champ. Vulgar is an absolute monster & all time genre classic. Pantera easily one of the top groove metal bands ever!

Pantera always hammered the groove. Vinnie was a monster, some of his sickest work was on Becoming, Throes Of Rejection, War Nerve, etc. Honestly everything Vinnie did was sick. The man had groove, and a pocket deeper than the Marianas Trench. Pantera was the thing that turned me into a musician, Dimebag made me pick up a guitar, and Vinnie made me pick up drums.

[@JaBrandonSpoons]

Same. Back in 2017 I was sitting at a tiki bar having a beer and crab legs and I look over and vinnie sat down next to me. I couldn’t believe it. I actually had a chance to tell him personally that back in the day I had been listening to hip hop and I heard pantera and everything changed for me. He was very gracious. He was a very nice guy.

You have plenty to choose for across his three different bands Pantera, Damageplan, and Hellyeah You’ll not find one track where Vinnie is just calling it in. His heart and soul went into everything he did. Same goes for his brother Dime. That’s why Pantera hit the way they did! R.I.P Vinnie Abbot Darrell Abbot

Most of Pantera's career, these 4 guys were absolutely crushing it! They were ultra talented individually and each were a near perfect piece to the Pantera puzzle. Too bad they had internal problems that eventually lead to their demise. Currently, Charlie Benante (of Anthrax) is doing a magnificent job bringing Vinnie's groove to the people.

Pantera seriously kick a**, greatest groove metal band. No one could make a guitar sing like Dime! And his brother Vinnie couldn’t half blast out a seriously groovy beat. Seriously tragic loss for the music world. You can’t be introduced to Pantera without listening to Cemetery Gates, This Love, and 5 Minutes Alone. Interesting factoid, Pantera didn’t start out as a Groove Metal band, but that’s a whole other rabbit hole :D

The whole time I’m looking at the time of the video hoping he has time to play the next song.

Slaughtered is a gem from pantera

[@MetalMilitia83]

There is so much good Pantera to listen too. Too many to suggest, just watch some of the songs comments give you

We must be around a similar age (I went to Lynfield College)! Pantera was my first ever gig at the Logan Campbell Centre towards the end of my 7th Form year in 1994. What a night it was, especially when I bumped into a number of folk I went to Primary/Intermediate back when I was living in the East Coast Bays (as I never expected to see them again). Was also the first time smelling cannabis too! 😂

MORE PANTERA PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

More on the way. Hold tight!

The remastered version of the album has actual audible bass and is all the better for it!

Great drummer, GREAT GUY. Met him briefly after their show, with a few other lucky fans. Humble and generous man.

[@mrshddy]

Definitely a good track but there are better examples for Vinne Paul: Primal Concrete Sledge off Cowboys From Hell, A New Level off this same album, or Becoming off Far Beyond Driven. Vinnie Paul definitely is definitely one of the greats in metal.

I'll do more!

[@WizardosBoz]

Huge vinnie fan, his drumming was a big inspiration for me to start drumming

[@Brando-Lee3725]

And this is only a deep cut on their catalogue of killer music ! I've seen them 9 times and they never played this live that I saw . Check out their song Domination (studio version) for some killer drumming . Its badass live too , but you can hear everything clearer on the studio track obviously .

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

I got a new band to go down the rabbit hole with!

[@johneighmey15]

May I suggest starting with this complete album then moving on to Far Beyond Driven followed by The Great Southern Trendkill. You will hear the progression of their music and I think you’ll be blown away!
