Charlie is the man for the job. No doubt about it. Mad respect to him for being such a consistent, and incredible drummer for longer than I've been alive. The man is a machine! 🙏🥁

Charlie having that moment where he misses his friends at 9:45 is beautiful. Shows us just how human these guys are and how important it is to commemorate their music. To all the people complaining about this being Pantera reunion or not just think about whats going on through their heads when playing Pantera music. Let's be grateful for all this an leave the negativity im your pocket.

Charlie is not only a great (and underrated) drummer, but he's also just a GREAT GUY!

Charlie himself threw me a drumstick after finishing cowboys from Hell during Metallica‘s Detroit Michigan show. He threw it directly at me. He pointed to me and then threw it and I caught it and it’s hanging in my room right now, one of my biggest prized possessions love the man he’s a machine.

This kit is a work of art. Absolutely beautiful 🤩

Charlie is a MASSIVE influence on the entire genre. Both as a Drummer and a Songwriter/Guitarist 🤘🔥🥁🔥🤘

[LeSensuel]

Can't wait to hear watch/hear this live in two days in Quebec! I've been waiting for this show since they announced the reunion/tribute tour.

He is turning 62 this year... Goddamn! \m/

Everyone uses triggers to gate their drums nowadays (which is awesome) but I was not expecting him to be using them for actual samples! Beautiful touch having Vinnie’s samples mixed in with the organic shells.

I heard every single drum he hit and cymbal when Pantera was here in Winnipeg Feb 16th 2024! I have never been to seen Pantera before, but this show blew me away! Thank you so much for ALL you do to keep Vinnie and Dimebag alive in our very hearts!!!! Love you always!!! Forever a fan!!! 💀

Thank you Charlie, for over 40 years of badass thrashing with Anthrax and for keeping the Abbott bros’ legacy alive 🤘🏼🤘🏼

Saw the show at Rocklahoma last September (2023). It was awesome to hear and see all these great Pantera songs played again. Charlie is killing it on this tour. 🤘

Getcha Pull. Watch It Go!!! 333

Saw Pantera a couple weeks ago. One helluva show and Charlie was awesome.

[JorshWarshington]

Great interview! I love you, man. You guys sound awesome. Your drumming is so good. Also, I've lost a best friend and what you guys are doing in tribute is truly amazing. Wish you all the best and keep on playing those Pantera songs we all love!

[musicmannrob]

The cool thing about CB is he's humble and not trying to replace Vinnie at all! Instead, making sure to honor him and his sound as a big part of the original Pantera. Awesome job continuing the legacy of the band and especially the Abbott bros!

[andrewbecker]

The drum sound he gets for the intro to Indians, has to be most punishing and fullest metal beats of all time. Its perfect in every way, flawless. The whole song just wails.

[shawnfranklin]

One of the nicest guys I’ve ever worked with professionally!

[patton]

Don’t forget that Charlie is a beast guitar player and writes most of Anthrax’s riffs. Just a crazy talented dude.

[rippindrummer]

This dude does not get nearly enough credit he deserves in the world of metal drumming. He changed the game.

[issacrodriguez]

This man is 61 and still killing it!! Unreal 🤯
