Vinnie Paul - Behind the scenes filming DDRUM promo video - Overhead Camera - RAW and UNCENSORED

This is a raw and uncensored, direct off the camera, overhead view of when we were filming this promo video for DDRUMS.
Remember, this is raw video with a camera mic, the drums were not mic'd up.
It's shows Vinnie working the drums like never before and playing samples of some of your favorite songs!!!!

[@AnaS-hm2kf]

Amazing... I can sit and watch him play for hours.

I'm not crying, you're crying 🥹 tugs on the ol' heart strings seeing him (lightly) throw down on some PANTERA. Its a d*mn shame there is no true drum-cam video of his PANTERA days. Much love for the Abbott brothers, RIP to their Pop too

What a Legend! I always loved that he played his sticks upside-down for the most power possible!!

Vinnie may be the best, most nuanced, skilled and tasteful drummers to ever play in this heavy genre. Man had jazz sensibilities on FF. But you know he could dial it down dynamically and swing like money in a tree. RIP LEGEND

[@niffingig5143]

Eloy Casagrande hits MUCH harder than Vinny Paul. Dave Culross hits just as hard, yet he plays WAY faster! There are plenty of others who play a hard, or harder, as well. How do I know? I've been playing for 30 years, and I hit hard as hell while playing deathmetal most of the time. And yes, I have done plenty. I've played hundreds of shows and drummed on 5 albums as either a member, or as a session drummer. You fan boys just turn a blind eye to everything when it comes to anyone other than who you have a hard on for.

Vinnie was a big inspiration on me as a drummer

[@ilaser4064]

I'm not sure I could listen to another drummer and instantly recognise the song they are playing without any backing. RIP Vinnie. Probably an unpopular opinion but being a Pantera fan from nearly 35 years ago, I think it's disgraceful what Phil and Rex have done. Was against it when they claimed it was just a tribute, given how many times post Dimebags death Vinnie knocked them back with Zakk filling in. Now it's morphing and I wouldn't be surprised if they try to release new music under 'Pantera'.

Shattered, insane drumming by Vin

[@robbymayer5987]

Looks like he played with the sticks backwards most the video. That's really neat.

[@PrcBox13]

They're not backwards, he's sticks were always the same at the bottom and top, top of stick wide as the bottom for a massive sound i suppose.. Great drummer

[@robbymayer5987]

​@@PrcBox13around 11 minutes, 55 seconds. You can see him put the sticks down and you can tell that they're regular sticks little heads on them. I do know the sticks you're referring to though.

[@PrcBox13]

​@@robbymayer5987yeah, you're right.. but as far as I know, he always played like that, from Pantera days . But I always thought he had his custom sticks, but now you found here that it's normal sticks turned upside.. But he always did that

[@Spector06111]

I rekon the photo of vinnie in the cd booklet for Vugar Display of Power he has em upside down, although hard to tell as his hands are hiding the ends of sticks.

[@darthsteven2425]

Vinny Appice does the same thing. Holds small end.

[@Dave_AK]

Big love Vin

[@Zboystv773]

Never seen a kit entirely made Of floor toms?

[@actionjackson8439]

Bonham played a 14" for his rack tom and a 16" and 18" on the floor. Vinnie used a 15 instead of a 14. Pretty much the same thing just two up and one down as opposed to Bonham's one up and two down.

[@O_zitas_tis_geitonias]

Why is he holding the drumsticks upside down ??

[@Aaron_Gentry]

You can hit harder with the butt end of the stick than the front end of the stick. Vinnie Appice also plays like this

[@eldiablo3794]

The theory is you get a deeper sound out of your drums and more of a powerful hit playing with the butt ends of the sticks.. drummers who played with their sticks upside down Dave Grohl, Bill Ward, Neil Peart in the early years of Rush, Vinnie Appice as mentioned by the other guy and Carmine Appice, John Bonham in the early days of Zeppelin.. Mike Portnoy always plays with his snare stick upside down, but he plays his cymbal stick the correct way because you get more definition and ping out of your cymbals using the tip of your stick the correct way compared to the butt end. That's the way I personally hold my sticks when I play drums like Portnoy.

[@grindcoreblues7517]

He did use them backwards. I'm the lucky owner of one that I got at a show after they did an encore with Cowboys from Hell. He only used them for one song. It was his snare stick, you can tell by all the perfect rimshots. He also had his tech cut a diamond pattern into the part he held onto for better grip.

[@craigoliver3709]

If I remember right his signature sticks were double butt ended

What a cool dude. Its so sad just how off and kimda bitter he seemed after dimes murder. Who could blame him....its easyier tho to remember whne they where noth young just kickin ass. Its sad the trip was so short. Those 2 jad alot more fuel in the tank for sure

[@lukeknutson3191]

bitter? he kind of had a right to be. When your former singer ditches you and your brother..trashes you in the media for years. You form a new band and defend themselves.. then he wishes violence against your brother. A week later your best friend/blood brother is shot dead in front of you. How would you feel? I would tell anselmo to fuck off for life too. And its not like he talked about phil often.. which he didnt. Maybe around 2005-2007..but after he got into hellyeah he hardly even spoke about the guy. He moved on. The fans make it seem like he was more bitter than he was... but if he was bitter.. He had every single right to be.

[@SN-cb9xj]

@@MikeCeritto yeah!!!!!! Hahahhahahaha

[@cern999]

A drummer knows how an unmicrophoned / raw drum sound like, you hear it in your rehearsal room and its not that monster sound you hear on a CD. So hearing this raw sound makes us have a pretty good idea of a drum sound, different from a fully processed shit. I think that was the point

[@MikeCeritto]

@cern999 Yaman. I've drummed for 32 years. All through high school, jazz band. Have a dw 7 piece with Remo weatherheads and I'm ocd with the sound. To me those toms and snares are incredibly out of tune. It's like nails on a chalkboard to listen too. Bit he may have them tunes loose like that to make the sound "carry" longer. It may be a sound Pantera was going for from their musical approach.
