    Virgil is one of the most important drummers in the world. Such a a great influence for me.

    While playing this, Virgil was solving complex Quadratic equations in his head.

    feel blessed to have seen him and Remo Belli in about 1988 at a drum clinic too.

    I'm 41 yrs old and i've been listening to lots of drummers like im sure most of you have. I always believed that it's stupid to say "HE is THE best drummer in the world!" When asked who could that be, but.. Virgil might just be the best drummer in the world. Hahah ..

    There are legendary artist and technicians out there. But Virgil is a straight up alien. It’s the only explanation for why he’s this insane. I’m sure the real reason is bc he trains non stop. When were all sleeping he’s still practicing.

    No one else is playing with this equally distributed combination of chops, dynamic control, and creativity (and humility). There are other chops approaching this, but they aren’t as seamlessly and smoothly refined.

      @@frelopermanboy7426 it seems like most musicians, me included, love and want to hear melody. Not just random time signatures. I'm not taking anything away from Virgil, or his talent. Dudes got plenty. This just reminds me of Holdsworth. All the talent in the world, but just went off on musical tangents that no one but the most knowledgeable, and expert musicians could follow his music. Better go major in theory, and study jazz to even get close to following this stuff.

      @@bobbyosborne2375 yeah I get what you mean. Great comparison to Allan. I think Virgil’s playing is entirely set upon pushing the boundaries with music theory. He’s just doing what a lot of drummers are not doing. Honestly, I can’t really listen to the music he plays/his solo project just for the sake of listening and enjoying the music. But I do absolutely love watching him.

      Virgils technique is incredible, but his kicks would never cut through a metal mix like this, and at higher tempos they would turn to mud, because that’s what an acoustic kick drum does. That’s what triggers are for.

    That is drum pattern 1 in my lesson book, now to move on to something a little harder, pattern 2, it is in 37/64 @ 165bpm but there is a 23 count that switches to a 17 every other 5 bars and I swap the accent from my left foot to my right hand then to my left foot to my left hand and then repeat but in reverse..........I probably shouldn't joke, he might actually work it out just for a laugh....I love Virgil.
    For he IS the Drumming (spoken by a little girl dressed in a black robe with glowing blue eyes).

    I'm an Australian and I absolutely love what Virgil does however, how often this stuff comes up in conversation is negligible and doesn't relate to 99.9% of drummers in the world. I would rather listen to someone who can lay down some fat beats and show me how I can adapt those beats to my style of playing.

    • @Joshualbm
      @Joshualbm 3 роки тому +2

      Yeah, he's one of those "beyond" characters. The deal with this stuff is he's ever expanding and pushing his abilities. And to many, it's overwhelming and out of reach. But that's what he loves to do. But he can also play in any style with great feel and musicality. As a young player, he auditioned for and was accepted to play with Bill Evans' trio. So at that level, one had to have such a vast musical ability and artistry as to be a world class jazz player. Yet for whatever reason, it didn't come to pass. And the rest is history according to the music Virgil wanted to make for himself. It's the same for a lot of people who encounter John McLaughlin, Allan Holdsworth or Shawn Lane. The relentless intensity, innovation and virtuosity can be not only daunting but exhausting too. Even though it's amazing they can play at this level, It's a lot to take in.
