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.

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

[@alanbevington4875]

​@@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

[@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.

[@bigalexxx]

Yep agreed dude, Vinnie added to the track perfectly. I remember Hellhammer said the same in an interview, great drummers shouldn't be flashy for the sake of it, they should ad and compliment the song which is a complicated process to do it subtlety and correctly

[@TheArkhamRebellion]

Regular People - criminally under-rated even on such a great album

[@jdgoodrich3129]

I so agree with you

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

[@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

[@integrity101]

Vinnie Paul was asked about the song 'BECOMING' more than anything. Try that one next.

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

I'll get to it

[@RY30DM]

Good pick. That kick drum pattern is very odd.

[@chaoznofx]

to this day... listening to vinnie and dime ... makes me ... feel powerful ... like a yellow hulk ...

[@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.

[@TheDeadStretch]

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

[@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.

[@PistolsPlayground]

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.

[@barrypnicholsjr]

[@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

[@matthewdrake4385]

Andrew, you are spot on with making a mention of a black Sabbath influence. Pantera was originally more of a pop metal or pop rock band in the early 80's. Think along the line of KISS and Van Halen. At that era Dimebag Darrell was known as Diamond Darrell. They ended up changing lead singers which lead to their style of music to change. More of a Sabbath and Ozzy influence. This was a welcome change when they broke through and they were one of the few big metal bands that stood toe to toe with the grunge bands.

According to Pantera themselves they're a heavy amalgum of ZZTop and Van Halen. They started as a glam band from Texas, the driving groove, the simplification, that's all blues based country music with 80's flair. That's where they came from and that's why they stood out.

One thing I have always loved about Pantera is the synergy between Dime and Vinnie in that most of the time, the drums and guitar are playing the same exact melodic pattern. Anyway, whilst it’s not his most technical performance, you should check out the live version of domination. If you want to see how big the band were and how tight and synchronised they were, it’s a fantastic showcase of a band at its peak
