It’s inhuman and unreal how much Virgil just never seems to slow down
He’s literally like fine aged wine, gets even more better with the years
I don’t think we’ll ever see another drummer capable of doing what Virgil does. He’s up there with Buddy Rich in terms of being a complete one-off.
It’s amazing watching a lifetimes effort and dedication to being the absolute best possible musician.
I'LL TRY (LOL) BUT YEP YOU'RE RIGHT. I'M SOLELY IMPRESSED WITH HIS TOTAL COMPLETE COMMITMENT DEDICATION TO THE INSTRUMENT. THE VIDEO VIRGIL LIVE IN STOCKHOLM TAKES THE WHOLE CAKE IT SUMS IT UP
I've always loved VD but my favourites list has grown to include a few other names; Dave Weckl (master of dynamics), Matt Garstka (serves and pushes music), Marco Minnemann (can do anything on kit), Dali Mraz (the new Buddy Rich for me), Dennis Chambers (king of fusion drumming) and Travis Orbin (ambidextrous monster).
I agree. I think it is the Monk - Like approach Virgil displayed early on in his career when it came to training. I watched "Enter the Dragon" the other day and Bruce Lee reminded me of Virgil in regards to self discipline and training.
Musical expression is the most important part. You can have the greatest sets of technical skills, and book knowledge of theory, but if you can't take that to the kit and express yourself musically, it's a wasted effort.
@@TheJollyMisanthrope Absolutely true. "The hardest thing to do is to Express yourself. Take water for instance, it can fill a teacup or a teapot. Be like water my friend". Bruce Lee.
All the clocks in my house just stopped working after hearing this.
That was a great comment!! I agree 100%
Why did they stop working ?
It’s been a while since a comment got me like this one. Thanks!
@@raphcourte420 They were jealous because Virgil could keep time better.
Do your clocks have ears ???
Only Virgil can play something very complex but tasteful and lovely. One of the greatest musicians of all time no doubt !
An artist of unprecedented level, who opens new paths for others, so many qualities condensed in his music, it is astonishing and mind-blowing.
Virgil is to drums what allan holdsworth was to guitar
Holdsworth could be who composed that harmonies, any doubt!
best comment !!!!
Good comparison. To me, Virgil is #1!
Remember, Virgil is an accomplished pianist.
Also guthrie govan , somewhere there :)) and mike portnoy..
The playing at 4:29 is insane.. there is a feeling there that is hard to describe... only Virgil conveys that feeling through his playing.
More that same kind of texture at 4:51.
I love you Virgil.
Breathtakingly incredible. Drumming perfection 👌🏼
Forget the otherworldly playing, this piece is just so beautiful! Thanks Virgil.
There's no other word even close to describing what I just witnessed than simply....phenomenal.
real cool to see donati play straight forward for 7 seconds in this video ..didn’t think he played simple stuff..amazing drummer
Well done Virgil, world class mate.... world class.
Virgil, this is my favorite tune on Ruination. It is absolutely stellar!!! So progressive and so melodic that it transcends the boundaries of musical composition. It is so challenging to figure out your time signatures. If the Infinity Stones were real, you would most definitely be in possession of the time stone. No doubt. 🕒🕜🕚🕣
His performance is a pure expression of artistic beauty.
Incredible How the song reflects the title. Amazing, Virg.🥁🌟
absolutely killer
It is clear that there are only a few commentators who can grasp how incredible this performance really is, on all levels.
THANK YOU VIRGIL!!!!!
Such a powerful performance, beast mode.
Brilliant, beautiful.
A masterpiece !
I like so much this music. Fabuleux !
Bravo.
I like Virgil Donati! Amazing dexterity combined with relaxed attitude and great articulation!!!
Mr.Donati! i,m speechless!!
great stuff !
Excellent snare sound, as usual.
incredible.
The fill at 4:50 is just a work of art
Real weather report vibe to this one!
super
unbelieveable
Я даже не знаю, как выразить моё чувство восхищения!!!!!! Virgil ты самый крутой барабанщик в мире!!!!!!
Master!
Amazing is all the word I have. VD is a phenomenon.
This is beyond next level. Its unbelievable.
Simply Virtuoso!!!
Dear Google, why can't I like a video 5000 times?
The Master at work!
This is like a lullaby for people with Autism. Thank you!
I wish there was some way to see the interconnections in his brain, I am sure it would be way different than a normal human.
Only 1 (or 2) words.....
GOD-LIKE
Wow,. Killer stuff.!!
Man You always amaze me ..LOVE it...LOve it OVe o ...
God I love this track 🙏🏻
JHC Virgil! Phenomenal
После такой музыки, другую слушать не не могу!
Beautiful just beautiful ❤️❤️❤️❤️
amazing!!!
Foda!!!!! O batera mais audacioso e virtuoso que já existiu! O melhor!
Um dos meus heróis!!
Maths meets music. Legend and magician musician
Nagyon jó !!!!
Woah!!!! 😳😳😳 I love it!!! 😍😍😍
My goodness... 🍻
💪💪💪💪🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁💪💪💪💪💪💪💪Fantastic DRUMER!!!!!!!!!!!
Bliss.
"Amashing" as usual!
I never became a good drummer. What amazes me is how do these drummers remember everything written.
Eu amo esse cara!!!! 👏👏👏👏👏👏😄
Spaventoso!!! 🔥🔥🔥
No one’s ever again going to achieve on the drums what Virgil has achieved.
He's technically gifted beyond almost everyone, sure, but his ear for what sounds good is very mediocre. I'd much rather listen to a less technical drummer who knows what sounds good and fits in with the composition.
TheGr8one1022 sure, I get that. Doesn’t change the truth of my statement.
Wow
The bassist is really good too.
glad to know he's not waisting his talent with DT 😆
Interestingly enough, he wanted to...
@@matsrekdal3065 maybe he needs to pay some bills
@@jungleb yep, that's probably it.
Still, DT considered him not the best match.
But hey, what the hell do they know, right?
I'm sure they all got paid for participating. Just a big ole gimmick. We all bit.
Top top 👌👌
He's not my ultimate favorite drummer artistically but He is just The Greatest ever technician by far in all drums history... I will buy his new album 😃
And have you ever heard him play on a grand piano ?... 😶
He's great to learn from, but like you said, he's not really creative and his ear for what actually sounds good is meh.
@@TheGr8one1022 said no intelligent musician ever.
@@JA-io8nx yes they have. Technical skill doesn't equal creative. What use is a polyrhythm if the rhythms don't match well to create a better whole? You have no clue what you're talking about.
@@TheGr8one1022 you're high if you think this guy isn't only creative, but creative on a whole other level. His skill set is sublime, and not just that, his feel is incomparable...not to mention his writing is on another level...You have no ear for music and definitely don't seem to understand what you're watching/listening to.
virgil donati...the fifth element
Anybody who listens to this and doesn't hear "feeling" needs to get their brain checked.
👍 👏
Why do the snare ghost notes sound like radio static
🙏🏻💙💪🏻🥁🔥
I feel like I just start to catch on the main beat and then the keyboard chords come in and totally throw me off. I don't know what the time signature is much less where the one beat is.
Funny - it took me forever to figure out where the one beat was on
Alien Hip Hop.
What's the name of the band please
This song is from Virgil's solo album 'Ruination' th-cam.com/video/oULpqeceUKg/w-d-xo.html
Impossibile
🙌🏼🤯🔥
Thanks for playing live Virgil! most play-throughs are dubbed with the final mix :(
death-jazz
Poor Virgil all alone in the Matrix.
I've seen virgil twice in tampa area.....its like seeing jesus, the pope.....or donald j. Tump 🇺🇸
Beautiful Art, musically and physically.
EARTH WORKS MICROPHONES !!
Why does always wear a baseball cap!
no comment
what….?
Whoever gave that thumbs down just won moron of the year from me!
Great job, Virg! As always!
Benny Kee Must be 2 gospel drummers!! They can only play in & understand 4/4!!
Not only is the music phenomenal, but so is the camera work and lighting, too - nicely done!!
Love you Virgil you're my favorite artist of all time. Every note, from your 32nd's, to your whole notes, and hell even your rests, I feel the purpose behind and see the love you have for them . Each note brother. Thanks for all you do for the music , the drums , and in turn the human race. You give us so much hope in such a watered down plastic society...so much hope for the future . Thank you Virgil!
John from Buffalo.
BEAUTIFUL and flawless as always. Well done!!!
How about a crowdfund for a Blu-ray play-through of Ruination??
I'd definitely support it.
Me too!!
Virgil is the treatment of monotonous strictly commercial music. His extremely creative moves perhaps could one day transform the world in the wider range.
so, that's a 1 and a 2 and a 3 and a 4 and a um, oh, that's a 1 and a 2 and a 3 and a 4 and a 5,6,7,8 oh, um, so that's a 1 and ae and a 2 and e and a 3, oh lets just play
Yeah! Good luck if you're the poor guy who has to transcribe this...lol! 😆🥁
Oh, here they are again and again, discussion after discussion, argue and dispute.....about WHO IS THE BEST, about technique, feel, groove, pocket, mathematics and WHO IS THE BEST........ Is it Vergil, Buddy, Vinnie, Dave, Marco, Dennis, Aaron, Eric, etc. etc. pp........I would say they are ALL the BEST in what they are doing......
Except for Virgil who is just a smidge better than everyone else.
Hell, he plays like this AND writes most of the stuff in all of the bands he is in. Insane, since mist drummers can't even read notes.
Yup! They are all the best at what THEY do. No single drummer is best at every aspect of drumming, so there really is no best per se...although no one ever born has been better than Virgil. LOL
Beyond awesome, beyond perfect, always a joy see you play, great song, one of my favorites of Ruination.
Amazing playing!
“I’ve seen attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion”
Even on the 1st 5 secs there are too many drum time signatures for your four members from my point of view :-D
You're a monstrous god Virgil ... hope really to have a 2nd album from Icefish band ;-)
that tom roll he does at 4:15... gave me a brain freeze!!!
Virgil Still and always evolving 👍
Your dedication so appreciated Virgil Thank you keep doing what you are doing . :)
Absolutely amazing!!!!!!
Mind-blowing to say the least \m/
Does remind me of Tales From the Vault track "Earth" the precurser to this master piece maybe ! Every year more complex pieces , the man always improves .........................
in innovations , who can say that
Great piece and I also love the entire album, especially the "bold" mix. Marco and Alex are also the best!!!
Hey Virgil, that’s great!! Greetings from Colombia dude!
