Quotes

"Vinny and Carmine break out the heavy artillery in this entertaining no-holds barred battle to the finish. Carmine and Vinny...Vinny and Carmine! Don't know which one comes first, which one had the moustache first, or which one has the best legs! However, they are both great artists in their own genre. Carmine's track record includes Vanilla Fudge, Cactus, B.B.A. (Beck, Bogart and Appice), and Rod Stewart, to name a few. Not bad! Vinny has driven John Lennon, Black Sabbath, Dio and Heaven & Hell. Not bad! (I've been stuck with one band for 40 years - The Boston Symphony).

From the initial downbeat of this sibling confrontation, this specatcle culminates in the final battle of Drum Wars. The Ultimate battle both playing with great power, imagination and musically spirited. So now, Drum Wars. The tour which Carmine and Vinny demonstrate their sensational playing abilities. It is comedy in that they leave Laurel and Hardy very secure! It is entertainment in that it is great fun. Sincere, open and honest.

Both drummers play great solos and great ensemble work in their own inimitable style. Their years of experience are reflected in their ability to respond musically to each other. I personally am honored to have them both as friends and musical colleagues. May the musical battle continue!" - Vic Firth

"Until this past weekend, I've never experienced a show quite like Drum Wars. Carmine and Vinny Appice provide a very unique rock concert experience that's impossible to imitate in terms of energy and showmanship. The set list, punctuated by some insane Drum Wars solo's by two of the worlds finest rock drummers, covers some of the best hard rock hits and had our SOLD OUT crowd up on their feet singing along the entire time. This isn't a typical concert. It's an engaging rock and roll adventure that everyone needs to experience!"- Scott Hayward, Tupelo Music Hall
