These are two of the best limb independence capable drummers I know of. They are also some of the most generous musicians, who freely share their skills and technique with drummers of all levels. Hearing you playing together, it's such a pleasure to see and hear the syncopation between you guys.

[@dewittk9404]

Thank you Virgil for your tireless efforts including putting together these videos of your travels! Always look forward to these. The synthaxe solos from Allan were an overwhelming surprise.

[@radekjablonovsky3334]

Steve Hunt solos, not Allan

[@onstage7375]

It's because of musicians like these that we have to be grateful. Thank you very much.

[@CemAkdemir]

This is one of the most amazing performances that I have ever seen. Thank you both!

[@WhelanDrums]

Agreed Cem Akdemir. Both inspirational players.

[@mathcoreable]

Their power, technical and musical level is a testament to their talent and dedication to their craft. Love both their drumming!

[@donthomas2859]

Awesome stuff, guys. Great chemistry between the two of you!

[@cephalicsabbath]

this was so amazing you guys are class acts in every sense of the word.

[@EsaelPaggin024]

VIRGIL ! Thank you for the upload ! :D So happy to hear The Sphere in it's entirety ! Can't wait for the IceFish music video as well !

[@ddflach]

What captivates me is the fact that Virgil Donati is not simply playing drum but recitate mantras by playing drums, he seems in a state of transe. A higher level monk drummer!

[@FelipeSalton]

Show. I had the pleasure of being able to see Virgil Donati in the south of Brazil, in my city Bento Gonçalves - Rio Grande do Sul. And still have the autograph on my shirts! These guys are awesome! Tank you Virgil!

[@denyjurlinamladen]

Awesome!!!

[@tortillasarenotbiceps7622]

Are you freaking kidding me!??! This was Dinero and Pacino, Starsky and Hutch and Batman and Robin all rolled into one.

[@SergeyCORT]

за столько времени это наверное одно из лучших выступлений которое я видел в участвии вдух ударников очень круто!!!

[@aurorhaterror953]

Supremamente genial gran duo :)

[@darrenwilson8529]

Freaken Awesome

[@Mike_Isakov]

NICE!

[@japaobateradrums2067]

Eita pegaaaa 👍 show

[@fedexrrico]

Fucking beautiful song!!

[@user-hk7hz9cn7v]

Two drummers that Dream Theater did not deserve! Players like this need to be unchained and left to do what they wish. Their talents are too great to be hindered by anything too concrete

[@bobrobert4260]

the one who have shaked them whith the one who whas shaked by them...excellent! thank you Virgil and well done Thomas;) You have your revenge on the Floating DT!

[@chrisjones1516]

This is awesome..too bad you can't hear Thomas's kick drums at all..must have not been mixed well that night. Hope they do this show again soon!

[@crimsun7186]

Bass drums over 22" (Thomas is using 24"x18" ones) are hard to mix properly, especially when you have two of them. Virgil's choice of going with a single 20" makes his kit easier to get the right sound.

[@mjm5081]

❤ ❤

[@j.carlosescobarr.6422]

🥺🥁💙💙🙏🏻

[@ZabWolff]

Thank you for sharing, Mr. Virgil Donati! I have a question about your playing: Why do you still use traditional grip? Isn't it more uncomfortable when you do those kinds of licks and odd time beats?

[@busterjesik6980]

He looks pretty comfortable to me.

[@otemetal]

What snare do you use on this sow, sir?

[@busterjesik6980]

Ha! finally there is video proof that Virgil is an alien who can control time with his mind!

[@PinoBenattiMusicDrums158]

👏👏👍👍🤟🤟

[@fernandouriasalexandrino2681]

God bless Vigio

[@pointlesswasteoftime]

11:04 is that Yuki from the band Versailles? O. O

[@DionAlbers]

Only Marco Minneman and Gavin Harrison can play shit like this besides Virgil and Thomas...

[@edgoodstuff6133]

and Mike Mangini, and Chris Coleman, and Larnell Lewis, and Terry Bozzio, and Chad Wackerman, and Simon Phillips, und Claus Hessler, e Antonio Sanchez, y Horacio 'El Negro' Hernandez... And all of them hit heavy in odd time signatures and polyrythms. There is a whole galaxy with many Drum Stars on similar level that should not be compared. And there are many different galaxes :)

[@olcique]

somebody please tell me what the hell is going on after 9:09?

[@planetpjr]

Super intelligence.

[@euclidesbarbosa2269]

From which album?

[@kevinwelch9228]

Who wrote this song? On which album can it be found?

[@Kalman11111]

Virgil Donati wrote that, for this specific show.

[@yogieatsprog]

Who edited this video

[@projetxd]

When god decide to play drum...

[@snorhyveln]

Seriously.. I'm a drummer, but I just don't get this ADHD playing-style with turning upside down on rhythms, odd times, and orchestrated licks with as many hits/second as possible?! I just don't get impressed any longer on what I can overcome on the internet these days! But, I guess that's my problem..? Huge espect to VD and TL though, not to forget!

[@wewewewa]

Bear B there is beauty in technique and structure

[@snorhyveln]

wewewewa : yeah, but only as long as music is in the solo! Otherwise it's only a show of hands, not of heart!

[@wewewewa]

Bear B what?

[@snorhyveln]

wewewewa : shall I repeat? Ok., I respect both drummers very much, but I can't see the reason why two of the world topdrummers play with such frenetic technique and odd time playing and they doesn't get it right when it comes to feeling and groove and musicality expressions? Hey.. it's my opinion! Don't mind reply if you doesn't understand me. I believe I was informative and clear?

[@fedexrrico]

Virgil is in a completely different level of understanding of music... That's why you don't get it. I think it's the most beautiful way of feeling and playing the drums!

[@Campbell1.]

Amazing drummers, big fan of Donati, but the exercise of having two drummers is totally useless
