  • You deserve every single encouraging comment you receive for your efforts.  You know better than anyone how difficult to play along with V.D. but you hung in there & did OK. I give you a great big thumbs up for having the moxie to put your skin in the game. Play that funky music, white boy.

  • damn man NICE job behind the kit. I can't even figure out what's going on the piece let alone try to play it! props for them chops!

  • @jimihumhumnukuapua

    that subdivision should be smoother however...but thanks, it was a pleasure to try to play. Cheers!

    Bjorn

    Wow, that's very nice to hear...but I still have to meke it flow as Virgil...I'm years away hahaha. But thanks!;)

    Bjorn

  • great playing - jazz/metal grtz from nyc-rhscheryl

  • Thanks! There is a lot to improve, but I hope I'll have time for that. Thanks for the comment!

    Bjorn

  • this is amazing, great job. YOU FIGURED IT OUT! :P

  • Thanks so much...but the groove is a little weak, and so are many of the backbeats. It as a challenging and great job anyway. Thanks for the comment!

    Bjorn

  • NICE WORK!! thats was awesome ( is kinda lame thats not the full song but bleh, still nice work), oh and do you take requests? I would love someone play ``Ground Zero`` , from the same album of planet x (moonbabies).

    keep up the good work

  • hahaha! Thaks for the comment! I do play the whole song when playing in the street, but back in the days I recorded this I wouldn't like to play on Virg's solo. I take requests...but it's more for those who can't figure out something. Ground zero is great, but I don't know if I'll have time for that. I hope I will one day.

    Thank you;)

    Bjorn

  • Thank you so much! Well I think my groove is alittle poor on this one. One thing is playing the odd time...and another one is grooving!! But I appreciate your comment a lot. Take care!

    Bjorn

  • hey tio que pensaba que eras una chica! sorry en serio ... ademas eres español!! nikel

    pues tio mu wapo el video , el tema chungo chungo y tu ahi dandolo todo... por lo de grabarlo en 15 veces...es normal , ami tambien me pasa eso a veces ....

  • Buenas!

    La confusión es culpa del afeitado apurado y melena sirenil...jejeje! Lo de 15 son los diferentes temas que subí sobre esas fechas...cada tema es primera o segunda toma...con el video no puedo trampear! :p

    Un saludo;)

    Bjorn

  • Hey lady ! great job! a very difficult track , congratulations!!

  • jou jou :p

  • "from now on its mr donati's work" haha!!

    Awesome stuff man.. very dedicated and skillful !!

  • Thank you so much! I made several mistakes...but nothing i haven't learnt from. Thanks!;)

    Bjorn

  • dude you rock seriously! i wish i knew how to play drums

  • Thank you so much!! I din't get the groove totally right (the feeling) but it was a challenge that helped me in some way.

    Cheers!

    Bjorn

  • forsure man, playing what defys(defies?) your skills is the only way to improve them, regards from a guitar player ;)

  • very nice man! that's hard to play..well done

  • Thanks man!;) However accuracy is missing in many parts. I enjoyed recording it, that's enough!

    Thanks ;)

    Bjorn

  • Actually, he's playing wrong.

    The paradiddle is between bass drum and hi-hat pedal.

    I'm working on this too. (:

  • Yes, it's hard stuff! However I do play the hi-hat foot pattern, but it's low in txe mix, and besides the snare ghosts notes tend to cover those tiny sounds. However, on some bars, precission can be improved!;)

    Thaks for the comment!

    Bjorn

  • Hey man, It took me about 2 months to figure out this song corectly, I know what you went through to pull it off!!!, how long did it take you to grow your hair back? I now wear a wig!!!

  • Yes...the coordination between right hand and foot ostinato was the hardest part for me, in the verse. The hair...hahaha, I believe it had been three years at that moment. Now it's longer, but the receeding hairline is on it's way...hehehe. Take care!;)

    Bjorn

  • i like it very much that you like to express your feelings trough music! no matter if your perfect or not or if you master the song completely or not.and its one of the greatest forms of RESPECT towards the artist when you try to emulate him and i respect YOU for that.thanx for sharing this heartwarming music with us.=)

  • I rather need it. I'm quite static on these recordings, since I had to lay them down on first or second take, but for the moment I'm working on expresivity and subtle details that may help with the groove. Personally I think Donati to be one of the warmest (so to speak) virtuous drummers out there. He understans and applies simplicity and his expressivity on the hi-hat is in my opinion unique. I'm really glad to see people don't consider this just "engineer rock". I feel it's vibrating THANKS :)

  • Beautiful. Also, I applaud your highly creative approach to dealing with adversity; you are like someone who climbs a mountain for relaxation. Excellent.

  • Wow! That's one of the most encouraging comment I got so far!! But I really do feel these kind of challenges as something relaxing I can dive into. In fact these recordings got me out of some bad times. Thank you so much, rmsolympic1!;)

    Bjorn

  • very nice man! that's hard to play. I'm just starting understanding and playing planet x.

    I'm pretty shure you had to learn it just by listening! good job.

  • Well done! (kudos @ 3:40-3:45)

    -Mike

  • Thank you so much all of you for those engouraging words! However...so much to improve. This is a hard one to groove to.

    Take care!

    Bjorn

  • fantastic playing mate.. really hard, but beautiful piece of music!

  • Dude, you're a genius.

  • i love this tune from planet x. it's the best groove in 7 that i've ever heard. that quarter notes of 7/4 over 7/8, that's how odd meter should be played. great job on covering virgil's drumming, you're trully a great drummer -vivaoddmeter-

  • thanks for the comment!;)

    It's virgil's groovy approach on odd time signatures...he's the master. I've got so much to improve on this tune...:S

    Thanks, take care!

    Bjorn

  • woww, me encanta esta cancion, muy buena la interpretacion de ese 7/16!!!

  • Muy bueno Bjorn! tocas muy bien, solo sugeriria para este estilo de musica, que toques mas fuerte y con mas power! por que es planet x!!,solo es mi opinion! muy bueno, saludos!

  • :D Tocas excelente, ya vi una buena parte de tus videos... creo que me suscribire ^-^, eso que soy bastante exigente jeje.

  • Gracias! Un placer!

    El tempo bueno es mi asignatura pendiente, pero me apasiona grabar. Muchas gracias por las palabras de aliento!

    Un abrazo!!

    Bjorn

  • Joder, acabo de ver que eres español y yo intentando escribir en ingles como un gilipollas, jejeje, en serio tio, el video esta genial, una cover cojonuda, suena como el propio Donati, eres una jodia maquina. ;)

  • Jajajaj!

    Ostias, si la gente me empieza a hablar en ingles por la calle por mis pintas de nordico...o yo que se que!;)

    Huh! Hay mucho que mejorar...esos fantasmas no andan muy palla...y Donati...amldito Donati, tiene un estio extraterrestre, q bestial!

    Muchas gracias x las palabras de aliento!

    Bjorn

  • Ah, sin mas, vi que bastante gente ha visto este video y el otro que tengo de "Interlude in Milan" casi nadie, catalo si quieres ;)

    Un saludo!

  • Pues la verdad es que no lo habia visto, habia hechado un vistazo mas o menos a todos los que tienes colgados pero ese, no lo habia visto aun, esta genial tambien tio, ya te lo he puntuado y he dejado un comentario, gracias por el aviso y sigue asi, jejeje.

    Un saludo bjorn!!

  • como puedes decir que suena como Donati?, por favor piensen antes de comentar...

  • Salvando las distancias, esta claro que nadie suena como Donati...

  • Awesome man!!!

  • wow thats amazing

  • Very good!

    Coolt to see Planet X fans out there:-)

  • hehe its hard to play virgils stuff:-)but cool hoew you did this one.work a bit more on the ghosts then you have it.congrats

  • Thanks so much! the tempo must be improved, and the backbeats strengthened. And the ghosts...the worst are the two after the backbeat, being too loud. Constructive point!

    Take care!

    Bjorn

  • Hei man no problem! we have to help each other and ALWAYS be positive and constructive.:-) i think you already saw the ultimate drummers weekend with virgil i think its 2004? theres a workshop where virgils explains the ataraxia beat exactly to the NOTE! if you didnt see it the n go for it! i tryed to play this beat but haha i better practice a bit more on my metronome first:-) greetz
