Ever hear the song "Turkey in the Straw?" That's what this reminds me of.

Has this dude ever heard about putting a space in between the notes? Just one little space every now and then? ...Hmm?

OK. Now that we got that out of the way, scope out Travis Barker. No, TB doesn't sound like a broken Sears Craftsman washing machine from 1978. He sounds like a fresh voice of upside down drumming and crazy shenanigans from a day gone by when men were tough a** and down with big beats.

[Typenice]

@JoeJacari this is the ending of a 15 minute improvised drum solo. dont look at it like its a pop song. its natural to play a few more notes toward the end of a solo!!! regardless there is all kinds of "space" in his playing even then. they are just smaller spaces and SUPER even! The first 30 seconds of this section is an ultra simple and fat (big beat) 4/4 groove. did the spicy stick tricks prevent you from hearing/seeing that? hmm? and dude dont u know TB stands for Terry Bozzio!!

[nnero0]

@Typenice ... the guy is comparing Travis Barker to Virgil Donati ... what's the point in arguing with him? ... sad, humanity, sad!

[Typenice]

@nnero0 haha right right. sometimes education can remedy ignorance

[c0d3x001]

@JoeJacari 0:45 there you go

[persini]

hahah love the way all the people goes crazy

[protorobsmos]

Haha gotta love playing pearl drums with a premier t shirt

[Typenice]

@protorobsmos this is when he still used premier its from 2000. those are premier drums

[morgenthaler]

@Typenice Nope those are MHX Pearl Mahogany Masters Drums

[morgenthaler]

@Typenice Nope, those are Pearl Mahogany Masters Series

[Typenice]

@morgenthaler ur right that is a pearl set.but he was still with premier at the time of the vid. must have been the best kit they had available at the time of the clinic. drums du jour. there are a few vids of him playing zildjian on yt as well thats funny

[Faststick]

last frame looked like the whole place explodes! lol

[FrankTdrumz]

Fantastic, my fav moment of all the Virgil footage I've seen!

[isaacleedrums]

Lol that place went nuts! That is really great to see! Go Virg!

[RickDuracell]

Ever wondered how Thomas Lang came up with all those crazy stick tricks ?

[Typenice]

@RickDuracell haha right right

[Typenice]

ha ha right right

[fess04]

thats a drum solo affecting people. Anyone who says the drum solo is arcane needs to look at this. In a world inundated by coffee shop singer songwriter wanna be's .....Virgil offers relief

[Typenice]

amen

[bonhati]

amen...

[persini]

[akinbagcioglu]

[vicktooor]

só isso: PORRA

[Typenice]

Yeah it was from the Connecticut clinic on October 24th, 2000. I have the whole clinic on video. The part before the clicks/tricks he was doing a lot of double strokes on the bass drum. I can post more of the vid if u want.

[wkoszek]

Does anyone know precisely which clinic this video comes from? I seem to remember that before the stick tricks, Virgil used to play really cool grooves. But I find it difficult to get back to this video on YouTube. Thanks.

[sticktrik]

This is a bootleg video from a drum

clinic. I bought this video from

audiophile imports but I'm not sure if they are still around. He plays a few tunes

from the serious young insects cd. the video is about an hour long.
