He's really amazing ... By: alfredkeys. on 20 Feb 10, 05:00:25 He's really amazing but I'm not sure if we should put him among Buddy Rich, Gadd, Collaiuta, Weckl...no, I don't think so. Those guys have trascended through generations and left us a legacy of music. This guy until now is just a showman. On the other hand...what's your opinion about Alvaro Lopez??? He's been like the greatest of Mexico.

Can do with his feet what some cannot do with their hands. If you want to hear him with Joe Chindamo on keyboards (an even more amazing pianist) look for Loose Change.. incredible!

Good for you! My teacher was a Jazz musician & forced me to play his favorite material..whom I am totally greatful for...Twenty years later He has stated publicly & and in the local paper that he wished he played as well as his one student which was me..

If he would'nt have told me about them, I would maybe be like my friends right know, thinking joey jordisson his one of the best...

By: flythatbyme. on 25 Jan 10, 02:29:11 I just left the Joey Jordison channel...trying to shed some light to a 15 year old that know's it all....and have rated Joey as numero uno... I really wish the kid's on You Tube would explore other generations of music. So they can experience the vastness of talent from the past. They are really missing the foundation of great musicians that contributed to the metal music that has evolved to date. Never say this guy or that guy is the number one drummer or guitarist..so many genre out there !

@0zarrian and ... By: alright28. on 21 Feb 10, 19:45:50 @0zarrian and lewthedrummer: in case you don't know the word SARCASM, let me make clear that i was replying to the idiotic comment that weredog132 made that this isn't really great stuff.. ofcourse it's great stuff, it's amazingly hard and the ease Virgil pulls them off is unique.. Virgil is one of may favs and he really is a monster.. and 0zarrian, if you see my account, most of my favorite videos are Virgil's, maybe you should see someone's account before you go saying stuff about them..
in terms of theory ... By: lewthedrummer. on 17 Feb 10, 15:48:26 in terms of theory yes its rudiments which is introduced within the early months/years of playing- flam taps, flam accent, doubles, swiss army triplets and ruffs...but to apply them on a double kick accurately with power and speed, the ability to alternate and with a polyr rythmic back beat over the top...thats a lifetime of practice dude
@alright28 if you ... By: 0zarrian. on 17 Feb 10, 09:09:32 @alright28 if you could play double stroke double bass and hit 32's while doing that on your first week of playing drums you would be fucking insane.... Virgil has style and the rhythm like no other and when people say that Neil is better than him they dont know what they are talking about coz they play a totally different style as does every drummer. think befor you talk man.

By: Swornvendetta. on 07 Sep 09, 13:21:39 your throne should be high enough so that when your knees are making a 90 degree angles with your hips your heels are off the ground from anywhere between 0.5 - 2 inches although this isnt the only technqiue for fast double kicking its just what Virgil Donati uses......

unconscious ... By: Dreammotive. on 12 Dec 09, 07:34:13 unconscious competence... Isnt it amazing what the human mind can do. It doesnt seem possible but it realy is. And you CAN play it. Just follow you're own advice- Learn the 1st beat of the measure, then the 2nd, etc until you've got it. Theres no speed or rudimental chops required for this one so you just build it step by step. Takes patience though!

By: UlrichPortnoyDonati9. on 14 Sep 09, 04:29:22 watch him play jazz.... his dynamics are even crazier than theirs are .... only he can play swing jazz in odd time too... if you're looking to compare then any renown name in drumming history gets put to shame when compared to Virgil ... but perhaps there's an unheard of drummer out there that's a match ...(I don't know though) regardless at least he ventures into uncharted musical development while the rest just play the same shit over and over again ...
Yeah very technical ... By: J0B0S0. on 12 Sep 09, 19:09:38 Yeah very technical but he doesn't play dynamics. I mean I get really fed up with his snare after a while. This never happens with Gadd or Weckl.
Virgil is amazing. ... By: Nuggetmasterman. on 09 Sep 09, 08:56:50 Virgil is amazing. But no where near as good as what happens at 8:39. What the f***?

Didn't Tony Williams prove that Dennis was a poser?Steve Gadd has to be the flimsiest example of a jazz musician that the media ever contrived and doesn't play hard enough to be condidered a percussionist. Virgil is the most unlimited drummer in the world and probably the best example of perfection ever.Most musical?Not..

I just can't ... By: sikkis. on 17 Jul 09, 19:18:39 I just can't understand his sense of rhythm. Virgil is just genius!
whateverman666, yes ... By: 888erkan888. on 08 Jul 09, 20:04:19 whateverman666, yes i agree. Very smart post. but i dont think Virgil himself finds himself much different from other musicians....of you read some interviews, when the interviewer asks him how he feels about life, he sounds very happy with himself, almost childishly happy! If someones enyoying life, its Virgil! He has a strong passion and has the oppurtunity to create hes life around that gift. If he wasnt able to make a living out of drums he might had a family.

@ earesistible: ... By: alright28. on 12 Nov 09, 19:02:00 @ earesistible: when "back to basics" was released, Virgil was already playing the drums for 25+ years, so i don't think it made a huge difference to his playing.. :)
dave weckl is 2 ... By: wetdog158. on 11 Nov 09, 18:41:39 dave weckl is 2 years younger than virgil donati. you're right, they sound totally different. but neither weckl or donati are imitating each other, that's ridiculous.
..I adore the sound ... By: spacitydrummer4JC. on 05 Nov 09, 04:39:21 ..I adore the sound of his kit
@ earesistible: ... By: alright28. on 25 Oct 09, 00:08:09 @ earesistible: they sound TOTALLY different.. even if they sounded the same, it would be more likely for Weckl to be the imitation, since Virgil is older and has been playing drums loooooong before Weckl ever picked up a stick :) don't get me wrong, i absolutely friggin' love Weckl, but there is absolutely no connection between their styles..

Well jojo is still ... By: thehoffa. on 03 Mar 10, 00:04:03 Well jojo is still unbelievable... cant take that away from him... I think jojo grooves way more then virgil.
not great quality ... By: stickwithahit. on 25 Dec 09, 00:15:06 not great quality video recording, but Virgil does some things that only he can do, as always. He's a fantastic gentleman and monster drummer (one of the greats). Even Thomas Lang admitted there were some levels of rhythmic complexity which Virgil did way beyond the level he was at. I'm talking mathamatically, not drumming quality.
For those who question his musical abilities checkout the live shows with a band, not these wanking drum expo type things!!

jojo is a god himself in what he does, both are on a very high and unreachable level.

Yeah even Lars ... By: 888erkan888. on 03 Apr 09, 18:39:17 Yeah even Lars Ulrich got better feets then Virgil...the reason why Virgils feets sound so uneven is becouse hes out of time lol. And yeah, hes hand playing sucks, and the thing he calls "independence" is just an excuse for extremely untight playing.
LOL, thats ALMOST as stupid as saying the Posion drummer is better (technically)!!
PS Im joking I love Virgil and know how hard the things he does really is.
I see, and what ... By: 888erkan888. on 03 Apr 09, 18:34:32 I see, and what music does they play? The "Virgil Donati-band" doesnt seem to have a cd out. Maybe just covers of other projects Virgil plays in?

This guy i not only plays singles at incredible speeds, but doubles, paradiddles, and any rudiment you can think, all whilst playing other rythms with his hands. The Posion Drummer may be good, but is no where near the level that Virgil is on.

yeah, i am sure you ... By: alright28. on 22 Feb 09, 05:12:58 yeah, i am sure you are a better double kick player than virgil, it's perfectly natural, since he can't play double bass at all, he just has the second pedal laying there in case his main pedal breaks during a performance.. actually, he is such a joke for a drummer that my left hand plays better than all of his limbs combined..
This guys ok im ... By: ricflair1. on 21 Feb 09, 01:41:08 This guys ok im better then him at double kick bass drums by far. Ricky Rocket from poison is waaaaay better then this garbage! you should check out his video dudes.

People fail to ... By: oak3drum. on 16 Oct 09, 17:00:52 People fail to realize what Virgil demonstrates in his drum clinics ...& that is pushing the envelope when it comes to chops & thinking outside the box. Listen to recordings he's been on outside planet X & you'll find a tight tight player. Don't judge Clinic chops to musical expression & make no mistake this man is a motherfucker when it comes to making music. He plays other instruments and arranges on his albums if people take time to check out.
I always respect an ... By: micanut48. on 15 Oct 09, 04:01:17 I always respect an opinion of someone who is in the business - I am no less critical of other musicians who are often described others as gods. Nevertheless, I dig Donati, and although I know there are just as good drummers as him, perhaps faster or with more taste, I still like him a lot. Especially what he does with Planet X. I think he is one sick puppy - in good sense. I will look up those you have mentioned. Thanks for the tip.

I dig Donati; very ... By: 66drummer. on 29 Aug 09, 15:05:23 I dig Donati; very few are better. He's an extensive armada of impressive chops.
Unfortunately, his imagination usually falls short of his technical abilities.
Observers impressed by his long-winded repetitions of short but ultra-complex rudiments (like here: the same 3-second rudiment 20+ times) may have missed the more tasteful, sparing use of these same licks by drummers like Rabb & Lang.
Sample the right 4 seconds of a Minneman solo, loop it 15 times, & you've got this video clip.

right enough mate. ... By: danielcoolj. on 22 Dec 09, 16:02:45 right enough mate. rangers beat chelsea 2-0 therefor rangers are actually winning the premiership right now. chelsea got beat in the champions league semi final on away goals but as rangers beat chelsea 2-0 then rangers could beat barcelona, cause they only drew 1-1. And as barcelona beat man utd in the final, and as we have discussed rangers could beat all these teams, rangers are european champions. you are a tit.

They dont write to ... By: 888erkan888. on 16 Apr 09, 20:07:03 They dont write to fit in time signatures, they come up with melodies that more accidently sounds better in oddtime sig. rather than 4/4. Plus Virgil writes alot, and much is rytm based as he jams on hes drumkit for ideas, but also plays piano for melodies.

By: promatt50. on 15 Apr 09, 19:10:33 how the hell do you write music like this it is absolutely impossible...jesus. like besides being a professional musician and like living in the studio with these other guys then theres no possible way to satisfy these weird fuckin time signatures

Yeah, its sad. " ... By: 888erkan888. on 07 Feb 09, 18:41:53 Yeah, its sad. "MoonBabies" has perfect sound for Virgils style, BIG snare, great hihat, powerful kicks. "Quantum" has ALOT of distortion on the guitars, and drums aswell. The snare doesnt sound like a snare, sometimes like a clap...Plus, if you listen to the intro on "Desert Girl", you can hear how things clap and it sounds like a plastic bag in the background. This is the SOUNDWAR, the producers SUCK at keeping the gain at a good level....even in a PX-record. But afterall, the music is great!!

By the way, Virgil has a horrible taste of drumfinsihes!! Haha

Since Virgil didn't come with any backing tracks for the fest, he decided to take some requests. Someone in the crowd shouted for the single stroke roll. Virgil was up for the call!
FFS guys.... he's ... By: thehoffa. on 17 Jan 10, 04:49:51 FFS guys.... he's of the top 5 in terms of his doubles on double bass drumming. And his single stroke roll as seen here, is as fast as you will ever see anyone do it. In fact, i've never seen a single stroke roll executed so hard (rimshots if you pay attention) or fast.
i sent you a video ... By: francodrummer1. on 30 Dec 09, 19:36:12 i sent you a video response....i gotta single stroke roll for ya!!...lol i know yours is with your feet...but i know you can do a better job than that with your hands!...oh well chk it out anyway!
I am inclined to ... By: DavidPartay. on 17 Dec 09, 07:43:59 I am inclined to disagree, but each to his own, I suppose ;).
Incidentally, could you give me some names of drummers with Virgil's level of articulation and creativity? I'm interested in checking them out. Seriously. I'm not being sarcastic or anything I am truly interested :)
Maybe at 270 bpm he ... By: Dreammotive. on 16 Dec 09, 03:52:41 Maybe at 270 bpm he would need triggers but come on 200? He along with quite a few others could play that fast at full volume for a few minutes straight using downstrokes. And using a non-downstroke technique, like Virgil with his double-strokes you could play full volume at 200 bpm for about5 - 10 minutes straight. 200 bpm is the beginning for a real foot drummer, not the end.
We'll just have to ... By: Dreammotive. on 16 Dec 09, 03:48:48 We'll just have to disagree on that. I think he is well established and able to play most of what other drummers are playing but there is nothing he plays with his feet that at least a good number of other drummers couldn't play as well.
You missed what I ... By: duckoes. on 13 Dec 09, 11:32:22 You missed what I said, I'm talking about stroke definition in a practicle sense. Not I can hear the water dripping in the sink over the bass drum strokes.
You can't even begin to say that Mike Mallais could play in a band without the use of triggers at 200bpm.
"practicle" uses not WFD records.
That's an unfair ... By: DavidPartay. on 12 Dec 09, 23:05:59 That's an unfair categorisation, I would say Virgil isn't one of the fastest with his feet, but he's definitely the one person who has moved far above and beyond everyone else with the things he is capable of doing with his feet.
Well, yeah, he has ... By: Dreammotive. on 12 Dec 09, 16:59:52 Well, yeah, he has the right to practice whatever aspects he wants to. So he has become known for having some of the fastest hands which is justified. I just say that people are being misinformed if they think that Virgil is among the top foot drummers. And many do think that.
No, virgil cant ... By: Dreammotive. on 12 Dec 09, 16:57:10 No, virgil cant play nearly as fast as Mike Mallais with feet. And thats just talking about sheer speed. Thats a rather naive statement as there is a good handful of foot specialists who can completely school Donati in that specific area.
Fair enough, I just ... By: DavidPartay. on 12 Dec 09, 11:57:51 Fair enough, I just don't think it's a big deal at all :). I would say it's simply a case that he's never felt the need to spend the time on getting his feet to death metal speed levels. I figure, if he needed to he would have done so. I have a feeling he's never really developed his double stroke roll with his feet beyond 190-200 but that's just me going from what others have said.
But yeah, his hands are amazing!
yeah but with the ... By: duckoes. on 12 Dec 09, 09:30:51 yeah but with the volume of a mouse fart.
Virgil is one of the few who can play those tempos with all that volume.
Noone touches him with a kick drum and a bass drum mic
You're right, he ... By: Dreammotive. on 12 Dec 09, 07:46:54 You're right, he was and is a great contributor to rudimental bass drum patterns within drum performances. I'm just sorta responding to his performance in this video. He was asked to do single strokes and his hands simply blew away his feet speed.
Thats simply not ... By: Dreammotive. on 12 Dec 09, 07:45:05 Thats simply not true. Check out Mike "The Machine" Mallais who plays a lot faster than this with only downstrokes. Thats why he has the world record for downstrokes.
It's not so much ... By: DavidPartay. on 10 Dec 09, 10:14:50 It's not so much the speed of his feet, but what he does with them. He was the first to really play around with double stroke rolls with the feet and all the complex patterns he does. You should check out his new book, it's awesome!!
This man is my ... By: MuscleBound46. on 09 Dec 09, 22:47:39 This man is my ever-loving hero on drums along with Steve "You can't do this" Smith and Dave I'll pound your head into submission" Weckl.
Now, time to go lube myself up with some frozen yogurt and cricket larva and slide some clothespins up me arse because what else is left after seeing this machine!!!
The Single Stroke ... By: PadreMDB. on 03 Dec 09, 23:26:04 The Single Stroke Roll request came from fusion drummer Norm Calp...I was there!
HOLY FUCK. I HAVE ... By: thehoffa. on 03 Dec 09, 13:39:37 HOLY FUCK. I HAVE NEVER HEARD SUCH AN EVEN SINGLE STROKE ROLL.... Those were ALL RIMSHOTS AS HE GOT LOUDER. JESUS.

The hands were MUCH ... By: Dreammotive. on 25 Aug 09, 02:30:27 The hands were MUCH faster than the feet. It's kind of funny that he's recognized a lot for having fast feet but he's really not at all in comparison to Roddy, Kollias, etc. AMAZING hands though and all around performance is phenomenal, one of the best drum soloists alive!
it's an up stroke ... By: duckoes. on 01 Aug 09, 05:31:36 it's an up stroke and a down stroke motion he uses. similar to inverted double stroke motion, but not.
you can't play single strokes with the feet at that speed using only a down stroke motion.

By: SiCmetalfan. on 15 Nov 09, 07:33:29 then you guessed wrong, cuz ive been playing drums since i was 3 years old. you obviously didn't learn to read very well. because if you did you would notice that's kind of what i said. weckl and virgil, and plenty of other drummers (including myself) CAN play MP's parts on a technical level. but the point is regardless of how easily replicable the parts are, nobody is mike portnoy and nobody is the same and thus nobody will ever play or hear the same thing exactly like someone else.

i disagree that ... By: SiCmetalfan. on 09 Oct 09, 16:32:44 i disagree that weckl or virgil couldn't play dream theaters stuff on a purely technical level. even mike himself has admitted that he is not as good as them.
but that being said i don't think anybody could play them with the feeling that mike does, which is driven by his love for creating music. That is why IMO he could never be replaced in any of his bands, and what creates ANY good musician.
anyway back to the point of the video, virgil is an awesome drummer.
The style of music ... By: Jezzamezzamy. on 09 Oct 09, 09:40:45 The style of music MP plays is completely different to the styles that Virg, Carl Palmer and Dave Weckl play. I would would like to see them match MP's consistency when playing with DT. You must consider all the time sigs they play in, the dynamics, the length of the songs, etc.
It is ridiculous to say one drummer matches another. Dave Weckl couldn't play MP's stuff just as MP couldn't play Weckl's stuff.

Any drummer that fails to mention Bill Bruford in a conversation on drumming, well.....

He's really amazing but I'm not sure if we should put him among Buddy Rich, Gadd, Collaiuta, Weckl...no, I don't think so. Those guys have trascended through generations and left us a legacy of music. This guy until now is just a showman. On the other hand...what's your opinion about Alvaro Lopez??? He's been like the greatest of Mexico.

shit man!!!!! without words !!!!simply incredible!!

I saw this guy at a drum clinic in Australia. Each drummer has his own style. Gadd, Purdie, Weckl, etc. This guy is truly amazing. Can do with his feet what some cannot do with their hands. If you want to hear him with Joe Chindamo on keyboards (an even more amazing pianist) look for Loose Change.. incredible!

@flythatbyme: actually Virgil is not from this generation, he is from your generation too, since he is 52 years old :)
By: 1niceguyme. on 15 Feb 10, 01:18:09
I agree. I say Joey is great at his Genre & Virgil is great at his own genre.

@LilGunitSoldier I know you're trying to be funny, but you can go ahead and shove a gigantic dick into every orifice of your body.

By: ricyarborough. on 29 Jan 10, 14:29:54
his metric modulations are incredible! at one point he does it for like a minute without losing time! And i'm pretty sure his time stays constant the whole way through...incredible time!

You got a total arsenal of experience when you listen to & learn from the past...It "will" make you think through music & be a better musician no matter what style you prefer. Good for you! My teacher was a Jazz musician & forced me to play his favorite material..whom I am totally greatful for...Twenty years later He has stated publicly & and in the local paper that he wished he played as well as his one student which was me.. I really didn't like jazz at all, but the discipline was pricless.

@flythatbyme I totally agree with you, I'm not even 18 and all my friends are sticking to joey jordison, saying he's the best drummer ever, but i'm the only one on my side telling them exactly what you're saying. anyway I'm the only one of them playing drum and if I know all those TRUE good drummers ex: virgil donati it's because my drum teacher told me about them. If he would'nt have told me about them, I would maybe be like my friends right know, thinking joey jordisson his one of the best...

I'm glad the video keeps cutting to the guitarist drinking water and taking his shirt off, because we all know that is what is important during a Virgil solo.
By: flythatbyme. on 25 Jan 10, 02:29:11
I just left the Joey Jordison channel...trying to shed some light to a 15 year old that know's it all....and have rated Joey as numero uno... I really wish the kid's on You Tube would explore other generations of music. So they can experience the vastness of talent from the past. They are really missing the foundation of great musicians that contributed to the metal music that has evolved to date. Never say this guy or that guy is the number one drummer or guitarist..so many genre out there !
