@ViralSC2 I'd have to wonder about his intentions, are they musical are just impossible? Listening to the likes of Bozzio, Pert, Carey, even Grohl and Copeland, there is a sense of intent, arrangement, an honesty in trying to relate something thats coherent and enhancing. Theres always been a method in their madness which is was makes them genius, IMO of course. I recognize what Donati's doing, smashing the hell out of his kit and throwing in a few parradiddles, hes more of an Olympian.

[ViralSC2]

@underatedly Well that's it really.

Generally he plays stuff that's just so technically complicated it's absolutely mind blowing to think about, let alone actually playing it.

But if you're not specifically listening for it it's easy to just sound like noise.

It's honestly nothing musically extraordinary, but technically it's leagues and leagues above everybody else.

But it's a fine line saying what is and what isn't music.

Regardless, he's a drumming god.

@underatedly you're right. And this is also one of his most "musical" solo, other solos seem exercise... But nowadays he's improving is groove taste, I must admit.

[MrDomdrum]

you wont see Travis Barker play like this guy..you are the real thing Virgil !!

[underatedly]

I simply dont get this guy. Yes, he very good technically, can do all the parradiddles. I see that what hes doing is mathematically tough with a lot of limb independance but I dont hear anything musically extraordinary. I'm playing drums over 8 years now. It seems that any time someone is critical of him they are deemed a twit or "not a drummers drummer". I know its a matter of taste but that should also hold up folks who say this guy isnt that impressive.

[Thomasgipsy]

The thing with Virgil is that he is so advanced he sounds "bad"for non drummers,because he plays stuff that impress only drummers,eventhough only few really understand what he is playing,even Thomas Lang said;"Virgil is lightyears ahead of me",guess that says something

[c4p1t4lf34r]

you and lang are my favorite. until one of you dies, it shall remain that way.

[user7ist]

virgil, will you marry me?

@marthy995 I think gavin harrisson sometimes does. He mostly plays match grip but i think i've seen a few videos where he does the traditional grip.

Good stuff, no doubt about it.
