From the DVD: "Virgil Donati - Live in Stockholm" (out of print actually ...more Virgil Donati Videos here at DRUMMERWORLD: www.drummerwor... #virgildonati #drummerworld
I played cello in a pit orchestra for a season of West Side Story in Melbourne around 40 years ago and knew he was going to go far. The 'monster' in the making, Mr Rhythm, was in the pit at every performance holding the orchestra together under the baton of Dobbs Franks. I was mesmerised being so close to the percussion section in such a cramped space. My ears suffered a bit, but it was well it!
I was following ok in my head until it melted at 4:18 and if that wasn't enough the damn heart attack inducing sequence from 4:25 on directly afterwards is inhuman. Too keep that speed over those insane distances from right to left to up top and down...godlike. I really doubt unless you spent a year or two practicing that exact part, anyone else on earth could do it that smoothly. Not even Vinnie Coluita and he is a god himself.
I am not a player of the drums. Watching Virgil makes me really wish I was, so I could FULLY appreciate his skill. What a monster!

Didn’t scare me.
Pure brutal insanity! 🤩
Fantastic...what an inspiration
Into the drum ,out of the drum, into a drum Dream .fffuuuuucclk😊
What good is making comparisons when musicians are at this level of skill.
This was the peak of Donati’s playing around this time.
No. He was definitely hold back.
Agreed. He’s better technically now but not nearly as exciting
Unbelievable.
