VIRGIL DONATI OBSESSIVE RHYTHMS whole video
Great Video I used growing up learning the drumkit.
Virgil uses simple rudiments and demonstrates how they can be used to make so many interesting rhythms. His improvisation with odd time is also above and beyond.
He truly is a master at this instrument and proficient at the keyboard.
Enjoy the video

Virgil never ceases to astound me when I hear him; certainly one of the best I've ever heard...how does he think up such abstract otherworldly stuff
Ohhh Virgil. God damn you're too good! I love this! But I gotta say (and I'm sorry) but these just might be the worst sounding drums I've ever heard. Honestly. They sound like the crappy drum kit your buddy down the street had in his basement that you played on because you didn't have your own kit! Lolol you know it does! But other than that, killer playing my friend! And thanks for the upload!
very nice video
=)
Music at 19:17
Fenomenale sempre, qui aveva 35 anni È un batterista incredibile, difficile trovare un suo pari AMAZING VIRGIL👊
He´s fucking crazy
That's not a drum set, it's a kitchen supply store.
Awesome
Играя много лет на барабанах я понимаю что мне это интересно это очень круто потому что он играет все время грув и сбивает его по разному я люблю конечно и джаз но это чуть по круче то что делает Донати
Thank you for this video. Don't suppose there is a transcription out there anywhere?
The leather jacket is a bit much lol. Great drummer obviously but lol come on
All this in a leather jacket 😂
Well, not all if you watched the entire video
Number One in the world 👽👽👽
Ask Frank Corniola to release his cover band footage he recorded in a club back in 1994 ! He played Zeppelin, Pearl Jam , Chilli Peppers etc
🙏🏻😍!!!
I didn't know the lead singer of the band "Bush" was also a great drummer .
Absolutely one of the greatest drummers to ever live.
Any idea what Paistes he’s using here? 3000’s?
2000....
Legend has it The full on hiss you can hear was from the Greece lightning jacket
Still listening to mister donati for personal élévation
Finally, someone's found & posted it ! My big brother had it on VHS, back in the day, long-gone now, tho'.
My friend had it on VHS also back in.. around 1994!! Yeah like 30 years ago!!!
I still have it on VHS and burned it to DVD before it stretched
glenncollie9806Do you have the BOOKLET??
This video has been posted a few times over the years, but it was always taken down by Virgil's Police I don't know how this hasn't happened yet with this post👀
Virgil Donati, in my humble opinion has taken drumming to new places, never before seen. I believe overall he is the most technical drummer to ever live. I know that is saying a lot. I know who the greats are. I know what everyone can do. The reason I say this is because Virgil has such an unbelieveably wide range of skills, that he can do what any one of them can do at their best. And then he can do things that they cant. On top of this he is an AMAZING keyboard player. He could have had a superb career as a pianist or keyboard player. He can sight read almost as well as Vinnie. Virgil is the best. Now do you have him as your favorite drummer? Maybe yes, maybe no, but you must acknowledge his special and unequalled talent.
Agree totally on his drumming ability. But if he’s such an amazing keyboard player, why does he write such awful music?
@@PeterDeLuca-rz3dv I like his stuff...
@@PeterDeLuca-rz3dv It’s not right to say he writes awful music, it’s correct to say you don’t like it. Big difference.
@PeterDeLuca-rz3dv Just because someone is a great at their instrument, DOESN’T mean they can write good music.
His technical ability is off the charts but his orchestration and creativity have been surpassed.
Does anyone have the booklet??🙏
19:17 Virgil posted the first minute of this on his website ages ago, and I always wanted to hear the whole thing, and now I finally have.
Thanks for posting this ! I had the VHS when I came out and watched it relentlessly for months ! Brings back great memories - thank you and thanks to Virgil for decades of inspiration!
Haha likewise 👍🏾👍🏾
I so love this was my first video of the Man of the best/beast so cool what a memorable time then.
Why is he dressed like a 1950s greaser?
that be the style in those days haha
Because he’s Italian and grew up in Australia?
I started watching then started working and now I realized he is playing this for my background music. Awesome flow to do that. Recommended.
Yeah these patterns feel like what Gospel drummers were doing which has influenced mainstream drumming today.
What year is this from? 1989?
Virgilio is a language by itself, a true alien rythmic master!
Corriendo los límites del instrumento!!!
Unbelievable!
ORIGINAL FROM 1989!
Just imagine what he could achieve if he grabbed the left drumstick properly!...
I disagree totally. The traditional left hand grip is actually more interesting in a modern, hyper-technical drummer. It's a connection with the jazz/swing-era of Buddy Rich and the other fathers of our instrument. It shows that "old school" is not old at all, that "traditional" is not "weak" at all (plus, it looks so classy, it's a matter of style and elegance 😉). Another example would be Thomas Lang, a drummer as "muscular" and hyper-technical as Donati is, and also employing traditional grip (and large sticks) when he appeared on the scene; too bad he's switched to using matched grip almost exclusively 🤷🏻♂️. P.S.: Donati (like Lang) shows how it's done with traditional grip and a straight back posture (the shoulders at the same height etc), while too many "fusion" drummers using traditional grip around the 1980s/1990s (Weckl, Colaiuta, Gadd, Smith...) had terrible posture.
He stated in an interview that if he were to start over he would use matched grip.
The most Virgil video far away 😂🎉🔥🔥🔥
Anybody else notice the obvious Terry Bozzio influences with the Black Remo drum kit with the high tuning, the Bozzio type fills he plays during the introductory solo, the all black clothes w/tank top and boots, the two chinas up high in the front, the Remo Spokes, it just says Terry Bozzio, still pretty cool to see a little more of how he developed in his early days.
those high chinas
Yes some very big Bozzio influences going on here !
No. No one noticed that.
@@WolvesNotLions LMAO
My forearms would be so sweaty and uncomfortable wearing that jacket...and he's just insanely shredding on drums in the heated lights. Insanity.
I wish he was playing more like this. Today you literally cant listen to 2 minutes before you ask yourself.....this has zero feel, its all math and the rhythms are unnatural feeling. Who cares if no one can play that shit. He couldnt play like Vinnie even if he tried. Virgil is a great player but he let self indulgence and ego took over in his playing. How cool can I be, to stump every drummer in the room? Really? Who gives a shit. Drumming is not a spectator sport...
I'm sorry ,but you're talking about the wrong Drummer Virgil has only evolved, as well as, as a composer, perhaps his works are not so palatable, they are complex, but never a gratuitous display of chops... this is stuff from Thomas Lang, Mangini...zero feel, all mechanical speed chops etc
You've got it completely wrong
I think he has fallen into the trap of jazz-like endless noodling these days. Very repetitive and boring to listen to. Have to dig deeper into his older stuff to find it enjoy.
Want sticks are he using in this clip
Charlie Sheen plays drums?
When Virgil was still human
He’s still human. Just add 35 more years of practice and experience and to get where he is today.
Virgil is the most Underated Great drummers out there....hes a Beast😊
It’s more of a matter that he is too advanced to be truly appreciated
he is not underrated at all, he is one of the best of all time and is very recognized for it
Underrated my ass
I would definitely hire thsi guy to paint my house
Bad Ass Legendary Drummer! Bad Ass drum Sound!
Virgil next Metallica drummer please just for a concert
Overqualified.
sick
Some people just create this stuff before we even imagine it Ahead of his time 30 years ago Virgil is one of those people Just like ThomasLang May I mention
43:54 Best groove in the video
Wooow
