I thought this was great. What a good sport Ronnie is. How did this come to happen? Great tribute act by the way. I'm a huge Killers fan but I'd happily see you any day.
Dude does NOT sound like brandon- BUT they are awesome anyways because the killers are the best and they are playing killers songs. If they weren't all the way across the ocean I would have paid big bucks to have them do my wedding. Also Ronnie is totally amazing. What a cool dude to play drums for them like that. Awesome.
I <3 RONNIE!!!! :D. YEAAHHH!!! Man, this guy made me forget about breathing when i watched this!! YES!! Love The Killers, love Ronnie. LOL, and the stick chipped!. That just prooves how HARD this guy was beating the crap out of the kit. When you;re on it you;re ON it! Thanks for upload, man!
Anyway... I can't express how much I love Ronnie. I am a drummer and he is my favorite drummer/human being ever. If you ever talk to him tell him that I love him hahaha.
@mrlinks oh i believe it was a silly amount of money.. His Hi Hats cost more than most kits.. But you have to do your best to keep it as close as you can to his setup right?
@mrlinks Our kit.. This is the same as the Ludwig kit that RV used to play before he moved to Craviotto drums.. The cymbals are his exact set up. Since this video we now use Craviotto Snares.. Still thinking about the kit but will need to sell a lung to get it ;-)
The Killers' Brandon Flowers on V festival, drugs and food
By Cameron Adams From: The Daily Telegraph February 20, 2009
Theyre on top of things, Flowers says.
Killers drummer Ronnie Vannucci Jr even stood in with The Fillers last year, playing on All These Things That Ive Done, which lives on in YouTube heaven.
I wasnt there, Ronnie was the only one of us lucky enough to catch a Fillers show, Flowers says.
whats funny is the REAL drummer for the Killers is playing with a killers tribute band. but he drowing them out with the his sound. but what are they gonna do? tell him he is playing HIS song wrong? haha so tight
It's crazy that he broke that travis barker signature stick because ronnie's signature sticks are maple which are crazy soft wood and are really easy to break. Travis Barker signatures are hickory which is a harder wood, I'm surprised he broke it.
i haven´t seen a person showing all the energy that he is feeling while doing something... when u see that... it means that he really feels and loves whatever he is doing...
Brilliant. You guys had THE Ronnie Vannucchi sit in. He was kick-ass, as usual.
What was the cymbal setup for this video? I know the 24" K Light ride. And the Constantinople on the right. Could I get the exact specifications though? Thanks so very much for your time.
I read that ronnie uses 18" hi hats with a K dry crash top and breakbeat ride bottom. That's awesome, was this inspired by any classic drummers that used such large hats? I love that 22" k light ride as well, awesome setup awesome drummer, meh band.
Cool you were hanging with Rob? the cymbals are awesome are they not! huge... oh and those sticks he was using there were not maple.. he is just a monster hitter!
lmao is that the drumstick he brakes? ive seen the Fillers and they are really good but omfg mr vannucci jr himself, you guys must have been thrilled to bits! awesome how sporting of mr vannucci jr!
Is that a Ludwig classic maple snare? If it is what size is it?

I helped his drum tech set up his kit today before the killers' gig, man his cymbals and hihats are beautiful. Real thin, and light.
He plays with maple sticks too, which is probably a reason he breaks them so often!
