I just greatly admire Virgil for pushing the boundaries of rhytmical possibilities on the drums to a level that is so hard to understand that it's gonna take years and years for he gets the credits he deserves. He' Lightyears ahead! 💪❤
Millions of hours of practice . Virgil Donati is a bionic human .I am from Melbourne Victoria .I seen him spoke to him many times a beautiful soal with perfection .a drumming brilliance that one has to respect to the highest degree .I still remember him swallowing a filling and freaking out at a studio apartment thinking lead poisoning would hurt him .35 years ago .if people can just understand the amount of perfection this man has achieved is really bionic commando drumming .love from Melbourne Australia Tim beat retreat rehearsal where I first seen his brilliance.
This dude has 2 brains, with two separate cores inside it and supporting another 2 threads of different activity. Techie shit but yeah. Totally gonna practice this.
He was playing a paradiddle right? Virgil applies the John Houseman Harvard law professor method of answering a question with another question because there are always questions! Most of us mortals stop after stage two, Virgil takes it to stage 10! The GREAT challenge tho is staying MUSICAL is all of these stages and NOT getting too cluttered...wisdom Vs knowledge. We love knowledge but simple is sometimes best...wisdom knows the difference...so does Ringo!

Those who prefer simple stick to simplicity. Those who prefer technical stick to technical. To each their own. Virgil is in a realm of his own. Most of humanity prefers watching and hearing this level of expertise while opting to practice more Ringo-type achievability. The amount of practice required to get as good as Virgil is inordinate to say the least. I'll take my mediocrity and run with it. LoL
I have a hard time with equating this with value. It's very difficult to do, yes. But beyond that, it seems like a purely academic exercise. I would understand if it somehow was musical, but it's not. It may be artistic, to a degree. But I question weather it's a good thing to practice or not.
@@BESTpartCapture right, but that's the point. If I practice this, then I'll be good at ...only this specific thing. And no other musician is going to ask or even slightly suggest I do this. And that's the point, it's purely a drummer independence exercise. It's like learning something nobody cares about unless it's to somehow extoll the virtue of this one, specific thing. It's just pointless. No one ever explains why exercises like this are valuable. The reason is, I suspect, is because they're not valuable. It's just a what if exercise that no one cares about, except drummers.

And I think I can call myself a drummer

I overhand threw my drums into the sea after seeing Virgil play.
It does not make you a drummer if you can play this.....If you can play this it just ads to your arsenal:)
I know how you feel.
Genio

Amazing, amazing, amazing...
Master of drums
Tremendo maestro.cuanto trabajo hay ahí!!
Next exercice : putting m'y drums in dustbin whit left hand while i m choosing Netflix movies with my right foot
My brain just broke...
Sick!!!
I assume he has at least 2 independently functioning brains that are synchronously networked.
Step one is now to attempt to sell all my drums,cym,etc...& try to get all the money back I spent up until seeing this footage!!!!
1:32 he's human, I can't believe it

I recommend you practice it then maybe make it musical as much as you can...

@@DanSeipel No my friend, this practice is like the alphabets when mixed can form really good musical words
@@BESTpartCapture I would be shocked to find one example where a musical phrase was somehow based on this
@@DanSeipel I don't agree with that
What the fuuu... playing a sing paradiddle on one side and a double diddle on the other. Ok.
Barrilete cósmico...
