Vinny Appice Hard Rock Drum Solo 1987

[SilverDirtOfficial]

I love these white concert toms!!

[RipRJD]

Vinny Appice is the best drummer ever!!!!!!

[fendermatt497]

he looks really stiff. hes gotta loosen up

[beAllbugger]

it was a november evening, 1984, in Phoenix, Az. I was ten years old. Dio was coming, and I had a ticket. The crowd at the Coloseum appeared as a sea of madness at twenty rows from the ceiling, and the drum solo blew my frigging fragile little mind. The crowd was loud, but the drums were louder. It still impresses me today.

[DeLL116]

That bass drum sounds like a punch sound effect from a cartoon.

[Timo12GSV]

Nach dem Video hab ich erst den Mund wieder zugemacht und weiter geatmet... Also das Video und der sound vor allem war mal richdich geil

[gungor1985]

great hard hitting drummer with awesome fills vinnie is the best

[roka1961]

the people who aren't drummers haven't the slightest idea what good or bad drumming is even if they think they do by listenning to someone pounding away at mach speed and for you who think Vinnie is not a good drummer the you are obviously an idiot. I've listened to Vinnie for a long time and have seen him live. I find him to be in the upper class of rock drummers along with John Bonham they both have the same force and precision. I have learned alot from these two masters

[misterdonprof]

I like Vinnie on records and live, but not the solos, I like amazing solos, listen to the DIO album angry machines first track, Institutional man, the drums are brilliant¡, maybe this is the reason, a lot of people think that he is not so brilliant, but he is, but sorry... not the solos, have a nice day

[zippydude12345]

i remember when i got to meet and play with vinnie. it was an amazing experience. i remember him giving me his sticks. great.

[abe1sapien]

Vinny is a monster with that kick drum!!! I could only imagine what it would sound like if he played double bass

[beAllbugger]

@abe1sapien let me tell ya bro, I saw Dio in '84, and his solo was like a violent explosive thunderstorm (without double bass drum). He was playing this same stuff heard here (and like the 84 solo from the Spectrum) and you could feel the pulse of every drum shaking your body's cartilage loose. Let me restate this: you could've felt it if you were dead and burried in a nearby graveyard.

[JonnyKickdrumz1]

Love that 8O's big drum sound! And the old Sabians too!!

[thraXn]

Give the man one bass drum pedal more.

[braincrisp1]

Vinny posseses a very important trait that most drummers lack...it's called STYLE!

[shraunbone]

One of my favorite Metal drummers.

[MadMarkPhx]

This solo was awesome. Vinny is VERY under-rated.

[Rizun101]

That beat from 2:20 - 2:40 is fucking heavy man !!!

[ohno2112]

From BROOKLYN ONLY THE BEST !

[beAllbugger]

most concerts these days are like... a fishtank! I saw Vinnie with Dio in 1983, which was like... a hurricane and an erupting volcano, in the ocean!!

Fans of Joey and Travis don't realize how much crazier shit was before their time.

[Audioslave3]

To those who think Vinny is a bad drummer go listen to Holy diver and Mob rules!! And one more thing: Since monsters musically like Iommi, Butler and Dio chose him to play with them( and they obviously know a lot more than you smartarses that think you know everything about drums) that's got to mean he's really great!! End of story! Oh, and he also played with John Lennon and a little before he joined Sabbath in 1980, Ozzy asked him to play with him but he turned him down.

[Bandit400VC]

@Audioslave3 ..and of caurse he joined Hear'n'Aid project!

[ksioamaral89]

@Audioslave3 Holy Diver, Last in Line and Sacred Heart!Vinny Appice and VIvian Campbell did an awesome job in these albums

[pratt2006]

@Audioslave3 Here here!! He also played with Rick Derringer and, I believe, recorded the version of his radio hit "Rock and Roll Hoochie Koo. I'd say he has a "nice" resume. As a drummer, Vinny Appice's hands plus Tommy Aldridge's feet = a lifetime of work stylistically for me! Saw Vince w/Dio at the outdoor tent next to the Stone Pony in NJ many moons ago and it was like an avalance of sound; his bass DRUM sound moved my clothing. Vinny does w/1 bass drum what many do with 2.

[Rizun101]

Vinny is my number one drummer hands down, just keeps a fucking solid beat and is just a heavy solid drummer, i've been playing for a few years now and all my technique is based around his style because that is what suites me the best

[WhatsHisName26]

Love Vinny. I got his lesson book back in '84 and learned a lot of great exercises.

[drummachinekeith]

Love this fucking drumset-BUT-it needs more cymbals

[drwmwr]

Hang on.....show me where 'better is'

[gigi876]

I love Vinnie solos from the'80s :D

[xxmlhedxx]

40 people still have no idea about what good drumming is and still think Joey Jordison is the best drummer ever.. Ha.. right,,

[Bandit400VC]

@xxmlhedxx HEAVY METAL DRUMMING WITH ONLY 1 BASS-DRUM!

JUST VERY STIFF & CLEAR SOUND

[xxmlhedxx]

@Bandit400VC just overall the shit! :):)

[banan777666]

@xxmlhedxx Joey Jordison sucks, he have only speed but any ideas and his own technics, he's drumming is very simple. Vinny Appice is one of the best drummers in the world like Ian Paice or Neil Peart.

[xxmlhedxx]

@banan777666 couldnt agree more there!! :)

[zippydude12345]

@banan777666 dont forget john bonham and keith moon

[GamerNdAirsofter028]

@banan777666 Joey has some talent, but I think he is more of a death metal drummer rather than a real thrash/heavy metal drummer. JJ gets too much credit, drummers like Vinny, Carmine, Randy Castillo, Nick Menza, Gar Samuelson seriously need more love.

[stevedrums]

@xxmlhedxx And many more zombies think that Mike Portnoy is original.

[LUckybones25]

Thats a bad ass drum solo!

[johnnylarue1]

too funny, gotta love the cheesy 80's!!

[HermanIvanov]

Sweet 80's... It was a great time! Really live Rock and huge drumsets!!!

[ACtylerDC]

All you ever hear is John Bonham is the greatest blah blah. He is a great drummer, but why doesnt anyone ever mention Vinny or Carmine? Both very underrated

[Parano666D]

@ACtylerDC Of course and J.H.Bonham is the best drummer ever walked in the planet.Have you ever heard a drummer who plays all kinds and jazz styles even in metal , he is emotional,excelent technique.Remeber the songs(ramble on,dazed and confused,since i've been loving you)

[nickosrightfoot]

this is AMAZING!! I've been looking for clips of this vid. I'm off to by the DVD now.

Thanks for posting!!

I love that Dream Evil kit

[DHRC18]

@ 4:57, from his solo on Live Evil........fuckin' love watching and listening to Vinny play....the guy has such groove...biggest influence of mine...so glad that in the 80's he didn't get sucked into that double bass bullshit

[jehennem]

*Cheers!* That's playing a set of drums. My (personal) influence of 27 years of playing... Vinny Appice. The Heaviest Drummer in the World.

[Nuudles12]

I would love to get a big hug from Vinny or Carmine either one will do.

[Anthonyzazz822]

[powerslaver6]

[Nuudles12]

Throw down Vinny, throw down .
