    Drummer Vinnie Paul, co-founder of metal band Pantera, has died. Currently a member of Hellyeah, Paul was 54.

    His representative confirmed the legendary drummer’s death to Billboard, but added that no further details are available at this time.

    "Vincent Paul Abbott aka Vinnie Paul has passed away," reads a statement on the Pantera Facebook page. "Paul is best known for his work as the drummer in the bands Pantera and Hellyeah. No further details are available at this time. The family requests you please respect their privacy during this time."

    Along with his brother, Dimebag Darrell, Paul (born Vincent Paul Abbott) formed Pantera in 1981. The group found mainstream success with second lead singer Phil Anselmo. Throughout its career, Pantera earned four Grammy nominations and charted nine albums on the Billboard 200, including its 1994 album Far Beyond Driven, which debuted at No. 1 on the chart.

    Following Pantera’s demise, the Abbott brothers formed Damageplan in 2003. The band was performing on Dec. 8, 2004, when Dimebag Darrell was shot and killed onstage during a concert in Columbus, Ohio.

    Since 2006, Paul was the drummer for Hellyeah, a heavy metal supergroup that also includes Mudvayne vocalist Chad Gray and Nothingface guitarist Tom Maxwell.

    Born in Texas, Paul credited his Lone Star roots for his powerful groove. “The Texas thing is part of it, growing up on a healthy dose of ZZ Top and Stevie Ray Vaughan, but I also was a metal-head from day one. Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, Kiss, Van Halen, all my favorite bands had really great grooves to their music,” he told OnlineDrummer.com a few years ago.

    Most people I talk to have nothing but good things to say about you, but you sure come across as a condescending prick. Do you have an inferiority complex you've attempted to overcome through overachievement? Or were you fondled as a child?

    You and slow99 should date. You both have passive aggressiveness down pat.

              Saw Pantera for the first time, with their first singer at Joe's Garage in East Ft.Worth in 1984. Next time I saw them was with Phil Anselmo at The Basement in Dallas circa 1989.

                If you ever got to meet Vinnie, you would know this world was a better place with him in it.
                Seriously good dude....just like Dime, though I only talked with him a small handful of times.

                  This, exactly. I hung out/partied with both of them, and the rest of the guys, on a few occasions. Vinnie and Darrell were some of the nicest guys you'd ever meet. Hellraisers to the next level, but super nice guys. The Abbott brothers are back together, shaking hands, having drinks, and jammin out.

                    Took many a shots with him at the clubhouse. When I was around 15 he offered me a beer at bronco bowl after a Rob zombie concert. Def a cool dude.

                              Could be. I can't say they were my close friends, more so my roomie Jaysen, who unfortunately drowned in '88. Then I lost touch with all those guys. I was more the tagalong. But still!

                              We did go to Joe's Garage, The Basement, Savvy's, Circle A Ranch, Theater Gallery..... etc for tons of metal and punk shows back then.
