Calling that complicated is like calling the sinking of the Titanic a boating accident. Brain. Fried.

😂 well put

His skill is 10/10 and he always has incredible sound as well.

This is the guy responsible for me spending at least an hour a day on my rudiments both on my hands AND feet.

He is the reason I spend one to two hours a day on polyrhythms.

I'am follwing virgil since this modern drummer 97 till today .. Virgil is from a different planet !! No drummer in the world till the moment have done such an advance complicated playing like him !!! I'am a drummer since iam 13 years old till know .. I played stuff for Dave ..vennie .. Dennis .. Billy .. Tony .. No problem .. But virgil … this is hard guys !! very .. I suggest for those who didn't watch him enough to reconsider…

Yep! This blew my mind! I love math. Watching you figure out the patterns in the time signatures and deciphering his technique was just so entertaining. I’m always impressed with drummers that manage to play multiple rhythms simultaneously. This gentleman is on a whole other realm. 😮 Just for fun, after I watched this clip, I researched drummers’ brains to understand how they work differently. Research shows that drum training induces long-term plasticity in the cerebellum and connected cortical thickness. In other words, thicker fibers transfer impulses more quickly (increased brain synapses). Their motor brain areas are also organized more efficiently (which probably explains the multi-tasking in drumming). Your knowledge, technical chops, sensibility and understanding of music beyond drums really do go a long way when analyzing and breaking down a song, Steve. Always enjoyable to watch. 😊

@@allieandbo Yeah, I tend to geek out over music a bit, haha!

This song is in 4/4 but he thinks in quintuplet most of the time😧. That's why it feels very odd when he delays in usual quarter notes. I also recommend the songs "Pinprick" and "The Quiet Place" from his newer record. Virgil said that he wants to have 3-4 hours of clinic for each song, so I think it'll be interesting if you react to them😁

This one is mainly in 7/8 I think. A lot of the main themes use 3 bars of 7/8 so I guess you could call it 21/8 if your eally wanted

Thanks for posting. Check out ICE FISH with Virgil playing god like!

Virgil is an Alien, the search is over :)

He was one of the drummers who auditioned for Dream Theater.

Virgil nailed the gig but tried to throw in one his ideas

Virgil makes that Whiplash kid look like a 2 year old playing on a little tikes drum.

This is the drum version of how my wife's brain must work when we argue. In other words, I don't stand a chance, and shouldn't even try. Great reaction. thx

He is a genius from this era

Great reaction.

I think you would enjoy Heilung - Anoana on this channel. Primal, atmospheric and a simple but beautiful melody that is kind of a brain worm.

My favorite drummer of all time! it's a shame he's not more popular to more of us simpletons. Simpletons, as in, drummers complared to him :P

he is the most brain-melting drummer...its wild

You just got Virgiled.

Here is two of the greatest songs of the 80s & 90s The Notting Hillbillies - Feel Like Going Home kzread.info/dash/bejne/nYyKscF7icbel7A.html Van Morrison & John Lee Hooker - I Cover The Waterfront kzread.info/dash/bejne/jJOa28t-itGops4.html

Sounds like you've never seen him play before. He is the most advanced drummer on the planet and has been for decades. Makes Thomas Lang look like a beginner

My god you didn't know Virgil????? What????

Awesome reaction!!! Thank you! Please keep this up!! ...also, if I may suggest... please check out YG's 4th gen girl group BABYMONSTER with their pre-debut song "Dream". Its been trending last 24 hrs with over 10 million views.

Hell here's an idea ....do a 2 video back to back David diepold !!!!! That would be sick ...the Nile cover and the cattle decapitation songs

It s unfair . 😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮

The drummer?!? He is VIRGIL DONATI.. Not the drummer
