Just a monster drummer. Perfect timing and originality. Pure talent. Vastly under appreciated.

This guy gave those Dio albums the power they needed.

I have always love Vinny's style...

This man was born to play drums. Seems to be a cool , down to Earth man.

I was fortunate enough to meet his brother Carmine years ago and I saw Vinnie live at the Sawtooth booth at NAMM2020. He was fantastic and the drums sounding surprisingly great. Most importantly, I chatted with him after and he was very, very cool and we had a heartfelt conversation about my mother’s dementia and passing ( he saw her picture in my phone wallet and asked about her). A great guy.

Vinny, Hermann Rarebell and Simon Wright are my favorite heavy hitters

This is why he doesn’t need a double pedal. His right fooot is lethal

More videos vinny!!!

I really appreciate Vinny 👍 it's so nice to have a real professional teaching us some cool stuff and I've been playing for 44 years and still have plenty of room for improvement 👍.

I borrowed heavy from him in dio.taught me a lot.

This is a great video. I watch it every so often. Just refreshing and inspiring and thought provoking.

I love Vinny's playing. It's so powerful and has this heavy rockfeel to it. Through the years he has developed a style of his own and became a drummer in his own right, which is quite amazing when your brother happens to be Carmine Appice. People would say about Vinny: O, he's Carmine's brother. But now they say about Carmine: O, he's Vinny's brother.

It blows my mind how great these drums sound for the money..... just crazy

Great video. I prefer this "Appice" to the other one, lol.

Awesome Vinny rules

Excellent job thanks for sharing

I commented before, but I'm still blown away at how good these sound. The kick sounds like a 70s Ludwig....its crazy. Literally 600 bucks...and that Snare...damn

One of my big inspirations- and the fastest right foot on Earth!

Bada-Bing. Bada-Boom. Boom. Boom. Big boom! 🔥 Love the space that kick fills. Evans heads?

Can you tell us what kind of bass drum heads and the type of internal muffling, or muffling of the heads?.....great work, thank you-

Vinny, you should do a video on tuning the drums.

Good stuff

snare sounds sick

Best rock drummer of all time !

Many newer school metal drummers can't do stuff like this - they're too used to relying on double bass for everything.

He's a BAAAAAD MAN!!! 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘

He's the reason I started following Dio. Then I met all of them and am still sad at Ronnie's passing. UGH!!

Este hombre no necesita doble pedal, y McBrain tampoco. Por eso sigo siendo un gran fan de ambos.

I destroyed my knee trying to play the bass drum like this. I don't know why.

You are the first person to play the 16th note triplet between the right hand , left hand and 2 bass drum 16ths like John Bonham did on Good Times Bad Times in 1968. So, Vinnie, you and I didn't invent that drum lick, John Bonham did and I can do it as fast as Bonham or you because You and I do it the exact same way, which is 100% correct. Not like Brian Ricky or any of the others that learned how to do some rocking horse movement with their ankle. We do it both with a lose ankle. I watched your foot and we do it the same. I'm glad to see another drummer besides myself and Bonham who do it correctly.

To the one person who disliked this video... go speed at night... on a dangerous windy deserted road... intoxicated.....

curious what pedal that is

So he uses the drum sticks upside down? (I'm new)

Drum. God.

curious as to who owns Sawtooth?

Boom...

Dio bain appice Campbell

Old school drummer...

Quads rule.

e che cazzo...sembra così facile a vederlo!!.:-(

Who needs a double bass kit? He dont! All he needs is 1 foot!

nothingto see here. I was doing this at 15

Dammit.. i was the 666th thumbs up! This is happening to me more than id like to addmit... oooooooo spooky!

Double pedal sucks it's a cheap trick , this is much better
