A Cut From Virgil's Dvd... "Recorded live at the 2005 Bass n' Drum festival, Virgil rose to the occasion with a performance full of relentless energy and creative excitement. The electricity in the air following the performance was magical & this DVD revives the intense application, dynamism and drama of this special evening in Stockholm."Credit to: www.drummerworld.com / www.virgildonati.com

Mar 5, 2012 - This is obviously difficult, but it's not musical or terribly interesting.

Mar 6, 2012 - He will be playing in Kiko Loureiro's new solo album, awesome.

Mar 7, 2012 - its called a drum solo you monkey
Drummersteve28 Says:
Mar 9, 2012 - because it's not meant to be musical or interesting, this is just pure technical showoff. check this video if you want to see the musician behind the kit /watch?v=w4aEz_nr8p8 (and a great one behind it, indeed).

Mar 10, 2012 - Mangini took dt to another lvl. I think he was best fit, totally different feel Virgil has it jst wouldent mesh in my opinion.

Mar 15, 2012 - There's nothing even slightly musical about this guy. He can play double bass really well, he just can't play drums.

Mar 19, 2012 - i would love to see all the haters try to attempt this. you obviously know nothing about music or the amount of technique that goes into doing this. great drummer. and it's a drum solo, he's showing off.
DavidPartay Says:
Mar 21, 2012 - Really? I'm pretty sure people would have noticed if he couldn't play drums... Ps. you haven't got a clue.

Mar 21, 2012 - Stop what? Stop pushing the boundaries? Stop improving continually? They should give up and not try to become as good as they possibly can? Those are the words of a quitter.

Mar 22, 2012 - Mike Mangini is a good drummer. No question about it, but Virgil Donati is a machine. He's a badass with a pair of sticks and a drum set. He just dominates. How Dream Theater didn't pick him I will never understand.

Mar 22, 2012 - You're funny...Tell that to the artists who hired him....starting with Steve Vai...

Mar 28, 2012 - How come Virgil is going for the Edward Scissorhands look?!?
metallicguns95 Says:
Apr 1, 2012 - @COLUMBINE1818 Personally I think Virgil may be the best drummer on Earth and could just as easily been picked to be in Dream Theater, but I think Mangini fits just what the DT guys wanted

Apr 19, 2012 - If you look closely, he is performing a double stroke roll with his feet using the slide technique, the sound of the beats in the bass drum is different from using single strokes... I love this...

May 5, 2012 - This man is a god
drumsguitarsnowboard Says:
May 7, 2012 - how does he not burn out his hips doing the slide technique? keeping my feet elevated like that always burns me out, i have to play flat footed.
TheBigBad49 Says:
May 11, 2012 - No drummer in history has been better than Virgil.
