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.

[@keithnielson7797]

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 ☠️🤘🏻

[@jordanbruce]

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.

[@gronysek3553]

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 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.

[@JDESTR0Y]

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

[@RasputinPrime75]

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.
