It sounds so much more dynamic than the original lineup! I'm almost sorry to say it, but Virgil Donati alone plays much more modern, innovative and exciting than Carl Palmer. When Palmer played consistently fast, there wasn't much more going on than just accompanying the song as simply as possible. Apart from a few nice fill-ins. So you're doing a really great job. I hope there's more to come...!
Hear hear!!! I am all for it!!! This lineup is absolutely perfect, dynamic, fantastic. And don't be sorry. IMHO, Carl Palmer played very well in the three first Asia records (however too fast for my taste), he was still a very bombastic drummer, but today no way, I don't like him at all, to me he became an average drummer. Virgil is more solid, creative and, confident, much better than Palmer today. No way, Virgil is now Asia drummer. As a whole, these four guys are fabulous, I am very happy with this Asia lineup. Thank you forever, Geoff!!!
My favorite song by Asia. Thanks for posting. 🙏
Brilliant as usual my grandson harryxx😊
Virgil Donati has been incredible on drums for 40 years. Australian talent.
He is amazing!!! I knew him from his work with another great, like Steve Vai.
Very good!!! Love It!!!
