About
Vincent Paul Abbott (March 11, 1964 – June 22, 2018) was an American musician best known as the drummer of heavy metal band Pantera. He co-founded the band alongside his younger brother, "Dimebag" Darrell Abbott, which has since been regarded as one of the most influential metal bands in history. After Pantera's original disbandment, Abbott also co-founded Damageplan in 2003 and was a member of Hellyeah from 2006 until his death in 2018. Several outlets have ranked Abbott among the greatest metal drummers of all time.
