What I truly admire about Charlie Benante is how he stays incredibly faithful to Vinnie Paul's original drumming. He honors the legacy by replicating Vinnie's nuances so precisely, keeping the beats and tone spot on, to the point where you can close your eyes and feel like you're hearing the original. It’s clear that Charlie has immense respect for the music and wants the fans to experience it just as they remember. His dedication and attention to detail are unmatched!

Drum triggers

[@corrupted_realm]

​@@Brouseynothing is triggered aside from MAYBE the kick, and even that might not be triggered. Ignorant

[@comosar51]

This song along with I’m Broken are the very definition of groove metal for me

[@filymerc8738]

becoming too

[@Ayah_Mia]

I'm Broken is an absolute legend for me. Classic gold! 🤘🏻🤘🏻

[@JayRod711]

Agree👍 except I'd add Walk to that list

[@saintzarkbeats]

and shedding skin

[@JayRod711]

@@saintzarkbeats yes.. but I think we're gonna end up with their whole catalog on this list at this rate 😂 And I love it 🤘

[@MiUnited]

What impressed me most is his musical use of crashes. Listen closely how he hits crashes of lower and higher tones to fit actual keys. This is amazing

[@MyRealName]

Yes it looks deceptively simple..

[@giovannimerced1801]

I was thinking the same thing. It’s perfect!

[@or1on89]

That's pretty much how Vinnie Paul wrote it...Pantera was legendary...

[@FELTSZ]

Charlie smart guy

[@idn]

Those rack toms are so 1980s -- I love it! Absolutely enormous!

[@matsnilson7727]

Charlie's playing is always a joy to behold!

[@forderonfootball]

Met Charlie last year in Prague and he is one of the most humble dudes to grace the metal scene. He actually introduced himself as Charlie like I wouldn’t know he was - we also joked about his ‘side project’ Anthrax. Legend

[@StephenHeap-c1n]

One of my favourite pantera songs

[@honigdachs.]

Everything about this is great. What a drum arrangement. Great sounding kit. What a drummer.

[@dgallagher7029]

Man, this brings back memories of air drumming along with this as a 15 year old. One of my favourite albums. I'm going to have to create another account so I can like this video twice!

[@jacobbrown130]

Watching someone actually play this rather than just listening to it you can really appreciate how slow it is, how it’s able to breath in a way, almost like it’s biding its time. Amazing work!

[@La_sagne]

the 14" and 15" rack toms look so insane. i love it. also as always absolutely great playing from charlie

[@KiwiExpressCream]

Both 15" toms!!!

[@atg2270]

That ride is so CRISP

[@shanegriffin2215]

Those Paistes sound freaking amazing! Great job Charlie on honoring Vinnies parts!

[@PulledPurk]

Those reflections are great

[@chaoznofx]

this is GOLD... thank you Drumeo... thank you Charlie.

[@eliasfajardo6148]

One of the most metal songs ever! Still remember when i watched it on TV.... INSANE. Those Vinny (now Charlie) beats still reverb today

[@NoMoreBandOfficial]

Saw them play this back in August right after the Cemetery Gates intro and this has always been one of my favorite Pantera songs, so you could imagine how excited I was lol

[@OlaEnglund]

Hell yeah go Charlie! 👏

[@aijoguinho9721]

Awesome performance by Charlie! Pantera is só good, can´t stop hanging my head here...

[@xtop23]

Sounds great. Nice work Charlie.

[@JeffTheKiller000]

Charlie is such a good drummer man

[@fl00d69]

Never seen so many Rudes on one kit before 😳 Now that's commitment!

[@makattak88]

Rest Easy Vincent!! Charlie is keeping your vibes alive!!

[@DJT544]

Can we get BECOMING next time?

[@cxh5624]

i don't think he played it while he was there

[@chaoznofx]

vaaaaamoooooooo chaaarrrliiieeeeeeeee the respect you have for vinnies compositions.. there´s no other way.. THANK YOU.

[@scottcrawford1962]

Great song and Charlie is so tight!

[@sergiogarcia478]

TWIN PEAKS SHIRT! OMG I NEED THAT

[@maxihetfield6635]

What a Legend Vinnie was!!! May rest in peace drum GOD. Thxs for your legacy 🔥🤟🏻

[@caffeineadvocate]

Love the ‘it’s a small world after all’ factor I have with this guy (or six degrees of Kevin Bacon, if you prefer). Met him at a signing at Vics Drum Shop, only to realize later that I had been teaching his daughter’s classmate private drum lessons for about five years…. *shrugs Dope Rudes

[@DanReyesDorado]

just perfect, the sound is amazing ¡

[@ashesmx]

Yes 🤘🤘🤘 Vinnie laid down such a powerful groove - Charlie you did him justice

[@accursed1559]

Drumeo's apology for making him play a barbie song last time .

[@AlexPorter-u5j]

Dude you gotta get Danny Carrey to play the Dance of Eternity!!!!

[@sebg2086]

some the white stripes

[@JeffTheKiller000]

I second this

[@CamiloAdobe]

Perfect !!!!

[@milskater]

3:54 best of all, excellent work

[@minekettu]

Nice detail with those red drum beaters to honor Vinnie's legacy

[@grogu1986]

3:55 one of the heaviest breakdowns of all time 😍

[@guiccamarano]

AMAZING!

[@matiasnicolasgrillo3165]

Awesome!!!! If i close my eyes you are Vinnie!! Love It!!

[@Ray_SOAD]

He looks so young, I can't believe he is 60

[@MsGlitterBombz]

Love this song

[@Hineczech]

TWIN PEAKS 🖤

[@kevenquinlan]

Ahh, he's got a real funky style, I dig it. I don't really know pantera much, this is pretty good. Oh, and his set is exactly how and what I'd have if I played drums, which I don't, haha. Everything is in the right palce and is the right thing, very cool. Thanks.

[@randybischoff]

Awesome ❤

[@Jertzuu]

Man is let into the studio, is told to play 5 minutes alone, plays for 6 minutes. Madlad

[@HandsomePuggg]

Damn the beats in this song are 🔥

[@jameskirkbydrums]

phenomenal tune, phenomenal player!!

Vinnies third arm, what a cover !!!!

[@charlesapana9935]

Awesome

[@schueff0r]

twin peaks

[@JoseDavidMejias]

not a single hit was missed 🤘

[@Ktmflix]

Need 5 minutes alone after hearing this just to think about this masterpiece.💥💥💥💥💥💥💥

[@julesbonno]

First I was surprised by the choice, there are Pantera songs better to show off. But now I understand, I have never appreciated the drumming of this song like I should, it's really subtle

[@pastorineve2300]

One of the greatest metal songs ever

[@ll7868]

I saw Anthrax open for KISS in the Spring of 1989 (Eric Carr did an epic drum solo with huge neon glowsticks), Charlie tossed a drumstick into the crowd flying end over end, I tried to catch it but it bonked off the top of my noggin leaving a goose egg for a week. I didn't even get the drum stick.

[@diego90XD]

Yeah!!🫡🤘🏻

[@luigifavaro1330]

i love you drumeo

[@AaronFrederick843]

that was clean

[@Angryeddie14]

Hell yes.

[@arcd5875]

We are proud!

[@leoadrian2486]

Is a crime to be this early!!! This riff is the reason I pick up the guitar CFH!!

[@nockianlifter661]

Solid.

[@lepermessia4]

well done

[@itsalwayssomething7490]

Shout out from The Bronx, right from Charlie's old neighborhood.

[@PetePohjanniemi]

🔥🔥🔥

[@paolov737]

Just giveuh!

[@arcd5875]

Notice. . I was here before 1Million views!!!

[@idn]

Trash/groove metal is so fun. Musical playground.

[@UnnamedThe]

A lesson in how to play straightforward (not simple!) grooves without sounding like Lars Ulrich!

[@TEMPESTOfficalMusic]

Sounds Good, Vinnie Would Approve

[@oxouk]

Random things observed. Twin Peaks shirt, cardboard on the bass drum heads, Kelly Shu inside the floor tom and figurine on top of the road case.

[@ArtHerra319]

5 MINUTES ALONEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@asdert6588]

dimebag was such a beast

[@alexmilousis9932]

Eerily reminiscent of Delta Empire's style of playing ! Who knows maybe that's why his KZbin channel has gone silent for so long now

[@academaciated7466]

Those Rudes ❤

[@noname-rw5jx]

helll yeahhhhh

[@goranjohansen]

Cool t-shirt :)

[@isolateddemon9438]

HAIL THE ETERNAL GROOVE😀

[@jafardeng1795]

naissss 🔥

[@genemarcomendoza4791]

im here 5 min after this was uploaded

[@REXBROWNOFFICIAL]

Get it Charlzie…

[@peteharper3299]

If you asked me to make a list of the most fun songs to play on drums, it would be Bulls On Parade and this.

[@thesoronator]

Very cool, cymbals sound amazing and super tight playing! Particularly impressed that the Paiste ride bell competes so well against the zildjian mega bell ride. I can't help but feel that he needs a deeper snare though.. don't get me wrong.. snare sounds amazing but lacks that Vinnie Paul signature snare sound, too high and cracky, lacks the bottom end..

[@konttinen]

Never been a huge Pantera fan but I really really dig this drum track. Groooovveeeyh!

[@MGBlast666]

RUDE, baby 😤🤘

[@BillMulholland1]

🤘👍

[@Akuretaki_Nikolay]

Gg!!!

[@chenkarp]

Vinnie was the GOAT

[@AlexisMarina89]

speed @ 1.25 for a good time

[@loudrumsforyou]

i used to think the new pantera wasnt right. but then i realized that zack and charlie are who influenced dime and vinnie

[@FETRND]

Bring mike Portnoy again to play mangini's dream theaters song. We have already seen mangini played portnoys part so now we wanted to see portnoys on mangini's part. It will be interesting and amazing

[@TheNielCodex]

What Snare is he using? Sounds killer.

[@АрчиБальт-ъ7э]

Thank you!!!

[@dwerggalago]

And this is why Charlie is the GOAT. He can literally play anything and make it sound massive and awesome.

[@somethingelse04]

good joke buddy

[@End_Illegal_Apartheid_israhell]

flam master

[@gpaull2]

Stole the show at the Metallica concert in YEG! 😎👍

[@somethingelse04]
