I didnt know that 10 years ago, michael weikath from helloween could play the bass that well hahaha

2 hi hats? But one seems shut?

Great Song! No Words for Donati......

I'm responsible for about 500 views.

Irwin looks very similar to the character, Mick Taylor. From wolf Creek. And the song title is very fitting.

Always enjoyed odd time signatures! Way back in the early '70's, I played in Don Ellis' workshop band, in N. Hollywood, Ca. Don's sax man, Sam Falzone directed us through Don's music. One of my favorite tunes by Don was Bulgarian Bulge that was in 33/16 + 36/16. You've always sounded terrific to me, Virgil and even now, I consider you the top drummer on the scene, today! Thank you.

Interesting to see Chris Clark here who is part of the "Jon Anderson and the Band Geeks" album and touring band.

The guy from Mars !

The best hits are made with way simpler rhythms. These kind of rhythms will never make it to the music parades

I am 999 like ❤

Inspirational.

Acho que assisti o Donati em Floripa lá por 2011. Ele fez umas coisas "em x" (mão esquerda e pé direito em uma métrica e mão direita e pé esquerdo em outra métrica), depois nunca mais vi ele fazendo algo parecido.

Saw Allan twice. Once with this band and once with IOU. HES on Mt Rushmore with Beck / Hendrix and Mclaughlin.

The best!!!!

Hello master, your name inspired me to name my son “Mohammed Virgil Afghani”... 🤘

GOAT Status...

My brain is melting. Only one Virgil.those toms mannnn ! Thunder

Great to see a new upload!!

TRUE AUSSIE SPIRIT ...GO TO BUGGERRY JUST CAN NOT STOP PRACTICING AND LOVING IT . ON YA VERG THE UNTOUCHEABLE

Virgil the voyager. Exploring uncharted drumming territory! I don’t know if any one man has spent more time alone with his drums tirelessly pursuing mastery.

Great musician, great guy! Saw him many years ago in Curitiba, Brazil. Planet X always been my favorite band.

I love how you play with time, stretching and compressing it, Virgil. Always a master at your craft. I loved seeing you with Holdsworth.

kick drum sounds awesome in this one

BEAST!

Artistry in Rhythm. Thank you.

In.a world of Dave Weckls, Mike Manginis, Terry Bozzios, Mike Portnoys, Kirk Covingtons of the world ....all of whom I dearly LOVE....Virgil Donati is my absolute favorite. What he has done with his own band and Andre Neary and others is just bonkers. I love VD's drumming and his musicality so very much. My favorite band of all time is Tribal Tech but I feel Virgil may have surpassed them.

Virgil will always be one of my favorite drummers! I love this, but I don't consider it practice. This is playing, or jamming. It's also super important and valuable, but it's not practice! Practice is finding something specific you want to work on and...working on it. Over, and over, and over...until you have it perfected as well as you can. Practice is not fun, it's boring and hard work. It's NOT "unique", IT'S MEASURABLE, exactly the same every time, so you can actually see and measure your progress. And it's not fun to watch on KZbin, so no one actually posts their practice, they post jamming. I love it, but call it what it is.

最高にかっこいい👍😊🎉

Awesome

Great as Always!!!! Virgil Where are you living these days..????

Not bad.

so much air and flow, destiled and deeply great drumming, master

Ciao Virgil sei spesso in Italia? Mi piacerebbe sentire cosa ti esce fuori con la mia batteria ❤ 3:23 💪💪💪🔥🔥🔥

Fantastic. Great to see new video. Sound and video excellent. It's always a privilege to feel your passion and ideas.

As a guitarist, I'm completely transfixed with Virgil's sense of phrasing. It's like he's " dancing " between the different timbres of the kit and yet manages a solid time feel. And, I especially love the two camera setups he does ( which inspired me to do my own camera style editing when studying my own practice sessions ). Thanks Virgil for making a difference in my life. Come back to Sacramento when you can. There are A LOT of fans that miss you!

Great to see that even the best drummers practice nailing those 4/4 grooves!

So good...I'm not even sure I realize how deadly this is. Someday maybe I will

Thank you for continuing to inspire since the Southern Sons days Virgil! Happy new year!

Is that ride a 24?

Sounds awesome.30 years of following you mate .

I love that early 80s snare sound. Reminds me of the psychedelic bands of the era

wooooow great !

Truly The Drum God. Unreachable.

the personification of precision, power, commitment and control. The GOAT.
