[@amberklein8301]

at 1:22, you can see the left edge of his left foot hold the hi hat position down for that sweet wash sound (not tight or open) WHILE kicking over the double bass during these lines. That's some badass control. Legend forever RIP

[@13skp]

Amber Klein I noticed that!! His foot control is insane

[@treeclimber0019]

That's a technique I use regularly learned from watching Vinnie. A little awkward at first as it felt uncomfortable turning my heel out but once I got used to it what a difference. Works great as I use 2 bass drums but not effective with a single bass drum with double pedal. The left beater resting against the head dampens the impact from the right beater a little too much.

[@multiestonian]

wow can't believe you caught that, that's amazing.

[@billycooper1630]

RIP Vinnie Paul. You will be missed. Thank you for the music

[@rcfamwow]

okay this dude NEVER drifts out of time, not even for a split split second. he also grooves so hard, fucking literal god man. RIP king

[@Vaginaattori]

Vinnie Paul is amazing, but saying he is never out of time is too much. There are some little oofs even in this video. Perhaps not out of time per se, but some awkward bassdrum action etc. Doesn't matter, but he's definetily no robot drummer. Which is a good thing :d.

[@leeroyjplaisance3921]

@@Vaginaattori dude he is one of hardest hitters out there he os the king of thrash drumming and there ain't shit wrong with the way he uses his kickers the double bass is sick in all his shit

[@Vaginaattori]

@@leeroyjplaisance3921 I hear some stuttering in that double kick+crash fill at some parts. Not out of time really, but just uneven volume of hits etc. Not that it makes any difference, since it's so negligible. I just instantly heard it, & remember this video for that reason actually. 0:34 he rushes with the hi-hat for a second, but fixes it right away. My point is, there really are drummers out there, who play like robots, & seemingly never make mistakes(everyone makes them at times of course). There's nothing robotic about Vinnie Paul for me. Just sounds great, & plays with good volume.

[@jd0879]

@@leeroyjplaisance3921Dude come on 1:09 his bass drum was sloppy af. He should’ve just continued the fill with his hands since it was tight and did it on the floor tom instead

[@nathanwalsh3028]

His playing has been talked about extensively but his producing skills changed a sound of metal forever. No metal band before Pantera had that sound and he is one of the main reasons because of it!! Love/Miss ya Riggs!!!

[@yourdrummer2034]

Absolutely correct. His bass drum sound is practically the standard metal bass drum sound since he created it. Every metal drummer copied it after Pantera hit the scene.

[@adamwright8607]

And all he did to get that click/attack sound originally was use wooden beaters and silver dollars taped to the batter head.

[@yourdrummer2034]

@@adamwright8607 makes you want to try it!

[@jackcollins1406]

He was a genius way ahead of his time just like his little brother. I’ll always wish I could thank the Abbott brothers for the influence they’ve had on me

[@Howitchewstofeel5gum]

Their biggest records were all produced and mixed by Terry Date, so not sure what you're on about. Also, let's be honest: It was Lars on Justice who popularized that bass drum sound.

[@megadeth999polaris]

RIP Vinnie Paul, reunited with Dime. Thank you for all the great tunes.

[@JalenRawley]

One of the things I never see anyone talk about is that whenever he's doing straight 8ths or 16ths, he leads with his left foot. He said in an interview that he got it from starting off with one kick drum and always keeping the left foot keeping time in quarters or eights with the hi-hat pedal. So when he finally got a second kick drum, it just felt more natural to keep things going that way. You can see it starting at 2:03, he's leading with the left foot and the last note of the phrase, on the one, is a left foot kick. Super cool to see in action!

[@mattpotts2014]

now THATS a fucking analysis

[@HugoStiglitz88]

I alternate with my feet a ton but I never purposely lead with the left. Maybe I should because I've been having issues with my right foot lol I do lead with my left hand when doing rolls. Drummers do weird shit man

[@JoniMoas]

That's why he could pull off becoming that easily!

[@drumtracksdirect]

I'm not a metal drummer, but have had reasons to learn double pedal and have it as another string to my bow. I was in GNRs tributes for a long time and noticed that Matt Sorum did the same. In my non-advanced double kick playing, I've learnt a bit of it and can feel how, depending on the tempo and beat, it can "knit" things together better than leading with your right foot.

[@JalenRawley]

@@drumtracksdirect It really made a ton of sense to me to lead with the left foot in certain situations because of really working on keeping time with the left foot hi-hat. I'm not a drummer really, I'm a bass player and guitarist that picked up drums along the way, but I've always been a massive fun of drumming. It was Mark Zonder of Fates Warning that really made me want to get that left foot hi-hat stuff going. I really never aspired to play much double bass, especially straight 16th style stuff, I was more into interesting patterns with it, but as soon as I read that about Vinnie Paul, I really worked on leading 16ths with the left foot and it's fun! Never knew Matt Sorum did it too!

The way he hits that shit looks like he'd need a new kit for every show. I remember Pantera shows where you feel like you're heart is going to explode because of the most brutal rhythm section w.Rex. they were definitely a force. Good times

[@rickkelley4618]

AlexSufferAD dude had the tightest groove. Music is sound and silence, in proper proportion. Vinnie and Dime both understood that intrinsically, and though both were consummate professionals, they knew that they were most effective when they were just doing their job and letting others speak when it was their turn. Dime knew how to fill a space like no one since Rhoads, and Vinnie knew how to open up so much space for other sounds to come through. Completely given to the song. Unselfish. Humble. Serving the song. That’s what made them both great musicians, better than most in their genre.

[@johnthelesserofthethirdoft863]

Domination. That is all needs to be said. That breakdown. Perfect example of his and Dimes use of silence and power.

+aaronrus you must not be a drummer.

[@aaronrus]

+DrumDude007 been a drummer for 20 years. This isn't a 'double-bass heavy' song, he is only using it for bit parts, small fills and accenting. You do realize what you are hearing is through an ambient microphone , not the sound board, right? The transience isn't really the same, drums never sound as clean as they would through a mixing board after compression and EQ are applied.

[@worldalvin]
