VIRGIL DONATI GREAT INDEPENDENCE AND POLYRHYTHM

The only things I can do here that Virgil does are sit and speak. End comparison.

[@francisfernandezcappola]

ahahahhaha true!!! He's a Alien!!!

[@DVHdrums]

I remember watching Virgil at a clinic like 15 years ago, and one thing he said has been stuck in my head ever since. He said "I can count on my hands how many days I have NOT played the drums." In other words, he has only missed a maximum of ten days of drumming. Other than that, every day he is practicing his instrument.

[@tlkshowhst]

There needs to be a drumming hall of fame and Virgil should be far more recognized/respected than he is. Jeez.

[@al-919]

Beautiful things don't need for attention

[@ThatSwedishDrummer]

There's the Modern Drummer Hall of Fame.

[@manuelgilioli]

The most technical drummer ever... GOD!

[@Jellybeantiger]

Manuel Gilioli Aussie God!

[@killboybands1]

Pete Zeldman is the scariest drummer I've ever heard. He's been doing this stuff since the 80's

[@dougmorato]

Best Drummer ever. Virgil is a beast. Nobody comes even close to him.

[@martinsmit2684]

Amazing. The best part is, he is talking to the audience like they actually understand him.....

[@tidoalcius6822]

😂😂😂😂

[@timvivoda5208]

Im from Melbourne Australia and seen Virgil play at a few studio's that's atleast 35 years ago .blew my mind out .he is the best in the world .

[@chrisgalloway9413]

Every time I watch Virgil play in listen to what hes doing. My brain starts to smoke.

[@Vitor.Portugal]

Virgil turns highly vibrant as he gets envolved with the drum kit expansion, different sound source options, advanced gear coping then following with technical understanding and appliance... all of this very phisical and psychological demanding in order to put in motion behind the drums. Afterall the sum of skills that make a superb drummer.

[@bigdukepod]

Modern Master - Among the highest of our Order.

[@francisfernandezcappola]

No one on planet earth, could be so amazing, creative and technical as Virgil Donati. I still think he's the most underrated drummer of all time.

[@felipesouzabatera]

Gênio!!!!!👏👏👏

[@TTPDrums]

Groupings of 5 and 7 are Virgil’s secret weapons. That and being a genius!

[@boarhead5573]

Practicing Independence Concepts gives you kind of an really intense itching in your brain. It feels good and weird at the same time. Speaking from experience.

[@ArtGuitarLTX]

Aaaaaaaaaand my head exploded...😂 He never ceases to amaze me!

[@deanpana7576]

"Bend things a little he says?????" Any more bending and you'll turn it into a fucking circle!!! The guy is a GOD!!!! PERIOD!

[@MartinDee2000]

Could you imagine starting off as a drummer at age 9 or so, and having Virgil as a teacher?

[@bad_keyzi]

lol , frustrating AF

[@rpd2d]

and that would be why a 9 year old turns to drugs. lol. Kid at 9 " and that's when I realized I was a failure... Damn you Virgil Donati. "

[@LuccaUeda]

if it was tonny royster jr it'd be interesting..

[@weareallbeingwatched4602]

Welcome to KZbin! The nine year olds can find it!

[@shawnhapney8784]

Scott Martin If that kid really wants to learn? Probably couldn't get a better teacher. He gets paid to try to explain intermediate- advanced concepts? But he's quite capable of going over the most simple technique and 'regular' beats.

[@gabebabe1]

So awesome.

[@dan20man]

and then I took it up another gear! love it

[@bigdukepod]

Mere Mortals, such as I, cannot execute such complex independence. I would need 3 lifetimes.

[@scottrowland8295]

Virgil and Thomas Lange Kings of technical and tradicional grip

[@fimdrums]

Would love to hear an isolated vocal mic from this video. Donati humming ASMR

[@justindlc]

I think the humming helps group things for him. Maybe I'm just projecting. I've played guitar for years and I'm learning drums now, and when I'm learning complicated patterns I tend to think of melodies that go along with them. Makes them easier to play for me.

[@danielroik6065]

He is Amazing.

[@emiliovaldes9503]

Hey Virgil !, Always you make me happy! Great video!

[@OU81TWO]

illudonati confirmed.

[@BESTpartCapture]

Hahaha

[@denisesantafeealecio293]

Sucesso no seu canal

[@shawnhapney8784]

[@leddrummer6893]

Phenomenal..

[@BESTpartCapture]

Yeah! That's Virgil Dornati the Great.

[@danielroik6065]

They all have a Gift From Above.

[@BESTpartCapture]

yeah you can say that again

[@danielroik6065]

BestPart Capture, Keep Up The Good Work.

[@BESTpartCapture]

thanks man

[@letloverule100]

Master technician.

[@marshallcj1]

Finally someone else that moans when playing. Thought it was just me

[@BESTpartCapture]

LOLS We're all special but differently...

[@brownbear8936]

I also used to do that :D helps me being relaxed. Wonder, if it has something todo with the vibration you get in your chest when moaning.

[@cobra1995xx]

"Can anyone hear what i was doin?!?" "Whats that, you got it!!" 5 over 4 correct.. "now let me exlode your peasant head with this 167/13 @ 90 bpm 🤯 lol dudes an alien

[@danielhorn2322]

He's from a planet called Planet X. He's a moon baby and is married to a desert girl who produces alien hip hop while wearing dog boots 👀

[@JS-tm1gq]

90bpm is industry standard peasant

[@drumphat]

He just broke my brain!

[@bobayersquebec]

like a god

[@retyetye]

Yeah, yeah it's interesting, but how and when can I use things like this ? 🙂

[@danielroik6065]

I Remember this Drummer, at DrumTek when he was at Melbourne, with Dom Famularo & i think it was also with Thomas Pridgen if i'm right. years ago

[@BESTpartCapture]

Yeah That right... Where you there live?

[@danielroik6065]

1989 one i was there, but not the other's, in the other Drumtek Show's. Yes i am a Drummer, but i play Drum's by Ear, The Drum's Are Amazing, >Virgil Dornati Is >GREAT

[@danielroik6065]

I also thought Dom Famularo was Cool, & yes i still have my Drum Tek Shirt till this day, Drums are the Best.

[@BESTpartCapture]

Nice... Where do you base?

[@danielroik6065]

as in were am i from, in reply 2 BestPart Capture.

[@christiannasta8410]

Whats the left hand snare ?? sounds good

[@Thomlistentoslayer]

Auxilary snare

[@jamesmurphy1389]

I have complained to KZbin in the hope of getting all Virgil D's videos taken down - they are offensively transcendent.

[@BESTpartCapture]

Really? Man you are funny

[@ArtDrumz]

These exercises hurt my brain! XD

[@courtcomposer]

Fucking genius..

[@mellowtron214]

The quiet noises he makes while drumming remind me of some druids song. As if his body can’t help but extrude art.

Mr Roik thanks...

[@danielroik6065]

Your Very Welcome BestPart Capture.

[@rogallany]

Loko!!!

[@JFDrummerforlife]

Amazing lesson. is this taken from a DVD?

[@BESTpartCapture]

it was his visit to MI...

[@yrussq]

It came out that Duffy Duck is ridiculously good at drums :D Jokes aside Virgil is one of the most if not the most musical of all progressive drummers. All his patterns and exercises sound so good and so appropriate. That's fantastic. True musician that didn't lost the music in his deepest technical adventures.

[@bocilan235]

Doing drum independence is like doing brain gym

[@johndiraimo1444]

The V-man

[@jehouse86]

It's simple...just take newtons laws and apply them in 57/1000 time, add a polyrhythmic feel at 800bpm, and for the medium to advanced in the room, throw in the Pythagorean theorem on top of it all and viola!! You are now on your way to realizing that you will never be on my level. Mic drop.

[@BESTpartCapture]

Funny

[@jamesbryce5187]

does he do ANYTHING but drum? I mean, he even set up his drums on the tour bus.

[@ApoenaAds]

I heard him saying something about NOT having a family, so he could dedicate all of his time to music and drumming. Don't remember where did he say that, though. Can't quote his exact words.

[@janjose5647]

It had been posted on his website. I'm not sure that they keep that quote still or not after renewal

[@sanityinaseaofmadness7353]

He's an excellent piano player, actually...

[@sticktrik]

Piano was his first instrument!!!!!

[@DreiK96]

Thanks Lars Ulrich!

[@BrainEquation]

He does not have a corpus callosum

[@sticktrik]

His brain is 4 way independent from his body!!!!!

[@ImEverythingYouCrave]

that's so not fair lol

[@bhodiemanit6489]

My God how many brain does this guy have..

[@mellilore]

I'm almost sure it's DONATI, not DoRnati.

[@BESTpartCapture]

That's correct. thanks

[@Ribsletics]

What's that humming he's doing? Does he ever talk about it?

[@BESTpartCapture]

He's trying to sing the rhythm... Time-keeping stuff

[@bad_keyzi]

@@BESTpartCapture yea, he's sings what he plays. I used to do that , till my vocal cords got shredded . I guess I kinda abused too much on it. so I had to quit singing what I played . It took a while to get used to it, but now I can talk LOL

[@bad_keyzi]

@job Rothberg sure thing man. I remember rehearsing with a band an hour or two and then walking out of the rehearsal and feeling like throat sore and I didn't realized it was that instinctive vocalization I did upon the whole frasing thing. It was unconscious! but I realized later and started wondering why I did it and if I could stop doing it. tried many times but my drumming felt wierd, so I kept on doing it, til one day we did a shed session. 3 hours nonstop of drumming outdoors man. I ended up with no voice like for a month. from that day I stopped it and relearned how to play without vocalizing. I took me almost a year to get used to it. but it payed off. cheers

[@yrussq]

@@bad_keyzi Vocalization makes you musical if you have musical taste at all. All the greatest sing what they play - from David Gilmour, Donati to Hamasyan and Jojo. it may be silent but still.

[@MrDaveaccord]

My opinion he should have stayed with Pearl drums. Much better sounding than DW.

[@cesaralexis73]

I’d stick to carpentry, thanks...

[@edellis7691]

I love him but one percent is needed
