    Join Master-Drummer Virgil Donati as he explains and explores his advanced system for developing Rhythmic Facility. In this new course, Virgil offers an in-depth analysis of how a dot affects the value of a note as well as the way it forms the groundwork for understanding more complex polyrhythms and how it can be used to create syncopated, hypnotic rhythms.

    Virgil’s drumming has arguably been at the leading edge for many decades, with his accomplished compositional and orchestration skills also gaining recognition. Never one to seek approval or security, he has maintained an introspective, independent mind, transcending traditional boundaries, always alert to the possibilities beyond the norm.
    At the age of 16, Virgil turned pro to enable him to tour and focus on music, and he has since devoted his whole life to his art. The motivation has been his endless and restless pursuit to express himself through his playing.
    During his formal years in his homeland Australia, he carved a path in the pop-rock scene culminating in multi platinum success with his band Southern Sons, at the same time pushing progressive and fusion boundaries with Loose Change, and On The Virg.
    He has recorded and toured with the likes of Planet X, Steve Vai, Allan Holdsworth, Tony MacAlpine, Kiko Loureiro, Bunny Brunel, Scott Henderson, Steve Walsh, and the Virgil Donati Band, amongst many others.

    Virgil's a beast. I attended a clinic of his once at the former West Coast Drum Center. He started the clinic with what must've been a 20 minute solo of huge impressive chops, and then handed out worksheets to everyone in attendance as he taught some kind of obscure polyrhythm thing. It's cool to see stuff like that performed, but it really doesn't have a whole lot of musical relevance...not to me anyway. I've gotten a lot more out of other clinics, Stanton Moore being my favorite.

    If this is supposed to motivate me to pay for a course, it is having the opposite effect.
    I'm not a great musician, but I've been playing to a metronome for decades. This is the worst presentation and explanation I've seen outside of "gospel chops" videos where they just show off, play fast, and explain nothing.
