So they invited a drum god to play for an audience, then tell him he's too loud. Amazing.

I do like this guy. Him and his brother give so much back to drummers everywhere, with their clinics and demonstrations. Great groove he has.

True pro, a good sport and that dead heavy rhythm-awesome.👍

If they didn’t want loud drumming they shouldn’t have had Vinnie there my all time favorite

My mom used to say that. 45 years ago. This is the NAMM show for gods sake! Not a casket road show. LOL!

Why even bother having drum demos at Namm if they think its to loud ? Drums are loud period and it doesnt get less loud with Vinny behind the kit. Great drummer, my absolute favourite !

You don’t tell Vinny Appice to turn it down. What kinda bullshit is that?

Vinny was the only professional there...

That security guy ended up being the Last In Line

What a champion guy vin is !

"You're too loud" is fighting words.. Empty suit guy.

Truly awesome drummer. His bass actually had bass on his Dio tracks.

It is incredibly annoying and hateful to see how so rudely mistreated an icon in music as Vinny Appice is. These guys have no idea who is sitting there, one of the greatest drummers !! Anyway, it doesn't matter that a couple of ignorant people think it's too loud, that power behind the drums goes straight through the heart ...

You’d think NAMM would plan this appropiately... it’s about music instruments damnit, these things are supposed to make sound.... groovy playing, great feel, great sound

How about “Steve” there at the end. So easy to imagine him behind the curtain saying “I don’t give a damn who this guy is, I’LL tell him to stop!” The Suits and the Steves carrying out their orders are everywhere in this world. But Vinnie? He’s a pro. At ease and laying down the grooves and licks like a legend. He’s wonderful.

I see Victor Salazar in the back. He hooked me up one time to hang w Vinny @ his drum shop in Chicago back. I ended up leaving with Vinny autographing all of my Sabbath and Dio collection. Then he taught my son how to do the 🤘. Having photos of that just blows my mind. What a really really nice guy.

Doesn’t matter the situation, the business guys ruin everything.

That's a beautiful kick bass.

That bloke cominng over to vinnie and saying the drums are too loud seriously should get a life. Probably one of those who wanted to be but never quite got there and did nothing for the rest of his life but complain and blame others for his incompetence.

MUY PADRE BATERIA NO CONOCIA LA MARCA, QUE MEDIDAS SON LOS TOMS Y EL BOMBO DE FAVOR ,GRACIAS

That dude acted like Vinny was playing drums in a library!!!!

too loud the fucking legend !! Vinny!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is why NAMM needs to go away!! Music companies PLEASE host your own independent shows and let your endorsers PLAY!!!

Damn they invite you to do the gig and then treat you poorly it seems ,

Vinny Rulez!!! 🤘😝🤘

Drums are made to be played LOUD.

If it's too loud, your too old. Play Vinnie, PLAY!!

Such an honor to see such a great drummer I'm sure many of us admire and a disappointment to whatever Drum company this is ? A horrible way to promote your drums to be so rude to such an iconic drummer.

Vinny) моё увожение

Just like William said 4 comments down, my fav of all time as well. Live Evil- one of my favorite albums of All time- opening up with Neon Nights-great choice for an opener. A good example of Vinny kicking ass on the drums- punch up Stand up and shout live back in the day on KZfaq. The guy in the suit shutting him down was probably into bands like ABC, Culture Club, Wham and Banana Rama. What a goof.

That was entertaining

Never too Loud EVER . It's Namm??? Oldman retire

F that guy saying it's to loud

Just tell him i will tone in down M,F then just hit the crash cymbal loud as he can lol.

Beautiful drums. But, can you imagine even thinking about asking Vinny Appice to play fucking quietly! Like asking Ayrton Senna to 'slow down'. Fucks sake...

I actually thought the staff was joking about being too loud.........Good grief. Are you kidding me? At a professional drum demonstration!

1960s Slingerland, 1980s Rogers 🤔

sawtooth drums? does that mean that Vinny made it to the top of the bottom?

Fuck that shit! So annoying. If you don't like drums don't have them. Love Vinnie.

I can't hear you LOUDA !🤘

Suits!

Too loud huh

Give him some brushes !

all these people complaining about them keeping the noise down, everyone needs to remember this is a business trade show and it is ALL ABOUT manufacturers showing store buyers their new products coming out that year, it is not a fan show... there are hundreds of booths there, imagine if every booth had drums and guitars blasting away, you would get hearing damage for one thing and nobody could hear to do any business!!!

telling a drummer to keep his volume low at namm, how assinine. It's not like he is playing at church

they must've been selling guitar picks

I wonder if eric clapton was ripping it up in the guitar section, would the DB nazi's tell him to turn it down?

Vinny is the man. Is that Nigel Glockler off to the right?

Really it's too loud at a Musical instrument show !!! , WTF , well that's show biz !!! (*^(&^*^$%

But like a true musician only have to be told once to compensate the problem

What the fuck just happened ?

Looks like Nigel Glockler to the side...

Damn! The MGMT is annoying as hell!

That's the stupidest thing I've ever seen for someone in charge at a convention center full of artist performing to tell someone you're too loud. He should have stood up and tell them I'm gone or play even louder.

NAMM 🖕!! A bunch of up-tight, overly managed, under intelligent group of Simpletons running amook, Standing IN Vinnie's Space, peaking around the curtain, milling about, oblivious to how amateurish a production they're portraying & the crowd starts throwing barbs & protests at 'em. A LEGEND sitting there. The Disrespect Shown to Vinnie, who's giving gems on his style, the type of wood used etc and another nimrod says hold it down. It's to Vinnie's credit he didn't just grind down on those drums. The crowd woulda went wild. Those of you who know your drummers, can you Imagine, same scenario, Buddy Rich being crowded & Told To Keep It Down? 🤣🙈👊🗣📣💪🤸‍♂️🤼‍♂️ OR Ginger Baker? I'm a sick puppy. Don't judge lol

That’s why I never really want to go to any of these events. They bring in a world class drummer, and all the amateur experts show up 😕

NAMM (No Actual Music Musicians!)

Interesting so it’s a trade show. So how do those Sawtooth drums sound? Oh sorry they are only a display model you have to buy them and play them at your own facility. Someone saying it’s loud is only relevant, break out the NIOSH sound dosimeters and give us the accurate numbers. Oh wait it’s just a trade show for manufacturers. Then Why invite Vinny to play drums if they are too loud? Invite a power drummer to play softly? Poor guy has at least three bosses telling him to turn down. I hear the guitar better than the drums, not to mention his speaking voice seems just as apparent as the drums. Yeah they may have made it more acoustically sound to not reverberate as much, but hey why do that when it’s a show showcasing musical instruments? Meh.

Drums can be played softly. Ricketty 2 legged hi hats suck too!

aye im too loud ova hear

Too loud ......why are we playing in church?

Look how many people came to check out the drummer as soon as they heard the ‘overly loud drumming’......the guy in the suit was probably from the competition and they had a shithouse drummer😂😂😂

Vinny should've just got up and left. Why even bother?

If it's to loud your to old

What a shitshow of a show. that is so clued out that they ask Vinny appice to tone it down

Childish beat!...

Great snare sound...., too loud! 🤡

Give it up vin.,terrible

You guys just don’t listen to drums very much. Dude is trash namm is filled with drummers all playing at the same time they have to keep volume reasonable and it has nothing to do with him but he’s playing on a no name kit in an off section he’s not at the likes of the DW booth.

So bad.....
