Has anyone ever seen Virgil walk? I wonderful if his gait is polyrhythmic and polymeric?! Music at this level of abstraction and technical proficiency requires so many simultaneous skills and these cats have all of them! I am an old dude who played for many years, but have been virtually self exiled from drums for quite a while. Hearing these exciting and demanding pieces performed with such incredible virtuosity has got me revisiting the instrument. I don't delude myself about the fact that I do not possess the skills required to operate at this level. What is important to me is getting reengaged, listening, learning and exploring. It's easy to fall into the trap of burning days and weeks and years with repetitive - even robotic life patterns and loosing touch with the energy that is generated with exploring and pushing your personal envelops. I'm grateful for folks like these who remind us to keep moving forward and promulgate such joy in the process!
Virgil is beginning to not only take it to an unreachable level that's beyond playing, it's seriously at the point now where people are struggling to even comprehend! This is scary! Weird and scary. He is the equivalent of being 100 or more years more advanced then everyone but he is only 58.. Think about that! Scary..
Yup, drums isn't even my weapon of choice and he scares me. My Piano equivalent to Virgil is ANDRE SIMS. The things that man does on a piano are herecy
Most people don't comprehend brilliance,but as far as unplayable?Virgil notates everything, so if you can read music and are GOOD(as in you have the technical ability and mental aptitude) you WILL be able to play it.There is an aspect to this piece of music that many have overlooked,that being the notes played and written (not the improvised notes inbetween)are the same for bass and guitar,so very little counterpoint,which obviously is the point of this piece.
Junior Braguinha is one of my favorite bassists and you're right, he is a beast!! I think Evan Marian is the original bassist on this track in the studio. He's also a beast!!
Whether slamming a backbeat with southern sons or demonstrating interstellar odd time, unbelievable techy, or inhuman coordinated independence, I always end up smiling when I watch him play. For me that's what sets Virgil apart. ✌🏻️ Looking forward to the project with Thomas Lang!! 👏🏻🌍😝
Before dream theatre its drumming i didnt even know that this is the drummer of one of my fav bands years ago, planet x, and to my astonishment but later on very understandable that, he didnt make it thru thr auditions. Dream theater selected the one i definitely would mever ever have selected and now i know why that is too.
Muy buenos pero me da nostalgia la alineación de Fierabracci y Garsed, ahí fue cuando escuché a Donati por primera vez!!!!! Junto con Colaiuta y Phillips mis batacos favoritos
yeah i think that they eliminated him as soon as he wanted to change the drum on Dance of eternity . actually he enhanced them quite a bit on those little snippets of the jams . their loss . mangini on adtoe proved to be a great choice though
I prefer this version over his album version by FAR. The version on the album is too slowed, too spacey, this one was just pure beautiful chaos. Unforgiving and relentless.
BRAGUINHA AMAZING BASS PLAYER FROM BRASIL!!!!!!!!!
Charlie Aravena Amen...that dude is a beast...seriously
very true, he is!
Duca Tambasco is very

Well said! Complex music is not scary or provocative-it’s inspiring and unhinging! :)
Reignite the Fire!
A bit of blood dribbled out of my nose while watching that 🤣
The complexity of those parts is just incredible 👏
Yo, this guy is the best drummer I've ever seen/ 👂 play.
bassist : What a odd time we play ?
Virgil : Yes
Time signature 657,83/238,639+[745,6*5,87].
So, it's actually quite easy.
Thanks for simplifying!

I think it always been like this. See for ex Apocalypse 1470 B.C solos

Dean Pana Agreed!
I love the look on the guitarist's face when Virgil counts it in in quick tempo. His reaction is priceless.
Andre is awesome!
The bassist is a beast, wow.

@@kevinlynch2248 MONSTER.
By far the most amazing musician I've ever seen in my life..
Which one of them? Andre, Virgil or Braguinha? They're all equally impressive. :-)
...fantastic band - great show !
Virgil
Guitarist is easily replaceable.
Any musician that can keep up with Virgil is also a monster.
That’s not a nice thing to call someone.
@@jumpinjojo get some friends
Braguinha é fenômenal
0% melodic... Just random notes learnt and played together...
The opposite of music.
@@rjjgreg8602 Okay
@@rjjgreg8602 You would take YEARS to learn this "random notes", but in your head surely it is random... what an idiot!
@@rjjgreg8602 crazy !!!! hahahahaha....see other videos of him playing
Wow. Almost 8 minutes !
That's the longest I've ever held my breath...
That Bass solo nearly made me trash my room
Lololol and just think a 3 piece band .
@@birchply023 Give em a horn section, and I'm gonna get myself arrested.

Tried headbanging to this.
My neck is now wrapped around my neighbour's ceiling fan.
Thank you
Eu estou tentando entrar na música até agora kkkkkkkkkk
Esses caras são de outro planeta não é possível !!!
Braguinha e nieri: couldn’t choose better. Amazing
Best band of the entire history! And I had the the privilege to watch you guys live! Thanks for taking music to another level 🤘
Braguinha: the best bass player in Brazil
Good lord! The album version is great, but this is brutal!
I have no words!!!! Just Awesome!!!! What a independence between his feet. Congrats to you all!!
HHAHAHAHA, Hilarius the expression of andre!!
Que coisa impressionantemente sensacional!
Virgil, you have changed not only the way I listen to and comprehend music, but the way I play it, also. Thanks for that!!
Love the responses to Virgil's tempo at the first bar.... Andre - "Oh man, here he goes again"; Junior - "Bring it on!!!"
I'd leave this world with the sound of this performance.
Amazing as always
At lonely hights , light years of timing ...................... and composing , playing !!
Simplesmente espetacular!!!
Camarada manda muito na batera.baixao fino demais Grove puro
fantastic!!!
Bass Braguinha incredible 👏🏻👏🏻😜🙌🏻🔥🔥🔥🎸👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
big big trio.....wonderfull ....heaven and hell on earth...big sound. congratulations
Is Rick Beato standing in the front row?
I paused it and rewound for this exact reason LOL.
Oh my god it is
Non ho parole.
como ainda tem mané pra dar deslike num video desse? sensacional os brasileiro dando show e mostrando pra gringa que aqui tem groove
A cara do André foi a melhor kkkkkk this song bug my mind!
Man! That first 1:35 is SO frigging tight! WOW!!!
Este es el mejor trio...
Mind blown!
Braguinhaaaa is sooo gooooood man!
Que massa!!!!!! Brasil bem representado junto ao mestre Virgil Donatti!
Una difficoltà mostruosa!!!!
Brother,You are Grate Drummer.I wish you the best in your life.
Aliens ( ", ) highest level of music science.
Cara, isso é simplesmente insano!!!!

That's nucking Futz!! WHOA! That was so tight!!!
Braguinha orgulho nacional !!!!
Just immense musicians.
Masters! Beautiful phrases.
What a great nieri's tone 🔥

Best Prog/Fusion band around. No one can come close imo...
😗😲😱 INSANE!! WOW!! 🙂!!!
Dope Performance! Im hooked LOL

How dare you make 11/16 seem so damn simple!!!
Hey, thanks for that now I can count it and hear/feel how they stay together!!!
@@mikeysplayhouse1971 NP brother.
My God!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Beyond awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
HOLY SHIT!! THE BASSIST!!
Esse bateria é de outro mundo
really amazing
I miss watching you at the local Springvale Waltzing Matilda Hotel Virgil!
Virgils left hand is like a freak hand on its own drum god has spoken. 🥁
Thanks DT..he was too good for ull 🤘🏻
yeah i think that they eliminated him as soon as he wanted to change the drum on Dance of eternity . actually he enhanced them quite a bit on those little snippets of the jams . their loss . mangini on adtoe proved to be a great choice though
!!!!Unbelievable!!!
Love this bass player
We know it's in 11 ... but it's so hard to count with their polyrhythms!!
Mestre!!!
I can feel that power 💪🏿💪🏿
That really is a jolly little number... Eleven (out of ten pressumably)
Braguinha is a beast!!
Thank your for the Eargasm
jajaja... qué nivel! De otro mundo totalmente!!!
Fenomenal
He plays with time that not even Einstein can account for. It’s epic. It’s times second dimension. GMT has a restraining order against him.
Amazing
Holdsworth had a child with Einstein?
wow, so glad I watched the whole song - didn't expect that stellar bit of improv at the end!! (is stellar a good enough word?!)
Que linha de baixo e essa Braga! 👊🏻💥🔥
flawless....
Unreal...
Tosquisimoos!
Virgil Donati | Andre Nieri y Junior Ribeiro Braguinha!.
Awesome Work
I prefer this version over his album version by FAR. The version on the album is too slowed, too spacey, this one was just pure beautiful chaos. Unforgiving and relentless.
awesome
The problem is not 11/8 but how Virgil and the others play into! 😀
6:31 ...thank you Virgil
Do I spot Rick Beato in the crowd?
I thought the same thing! It's gotta be him, he so recognisable ;-) (right behind the guitarist's floor speaker/monitor)
monstros
Virgil is on a level of his own
OMG.
andre's face was just like "the fuck is this?"
como q decora uma musica dessa e não esquece na hora?
esse groove do final foi bom pra crlh
