I spent most of my pro-musician life in unhappy playing/musical situations. When I stopped being a pro, I started to enjoy playing music like I used to as a teenager in my first band. To walk away from being a pro was the most liberating thing I have ever done and I often wish Iβd done it 10 years the earlier. Now I enjoy the luxury of playing because I want to, not because I have to.

Very inspiring for the moment I'm living. Also helped me to improve my listening skills as I'm learning English. And moreover: It's Vinnie!! π₯πΆβ₯οΈβπ»

Thank you Vinnie! I really needed to hear that. I have been in that situation and felt empty and exhausted, and frustrated . Watching your videos and listening to your recordings inspired me and help me move forward.

That's what you do for us every time Vinnie. I've spend entire nights listening to your music and watching your videos with my jaw to the floor and completely inspired. Unfortunately I haven't been able to make it in music or drums, but I think I will continue loving music and specially your drumming until my last day on this earth. Thank you for all you do and specially for being a bit more present in social media despite how busy you are. It means a lot.
