Hey Joe,

Yeah, at least the 7/8 and cross-sticking clips have an audible click. I am unsure whether he uses it (but muted it for us, the viewers) in the other clips, but the first clip could be him working without a click.

I had completely missed that Tribal Tech had posted this as an official bootleg recording. I had heard most of this before, and it remains a highlight for me.

Actual Proof starting around the 30:39 minute mark, and Got Tuh B starting at 1:40:12 are bonkers. Virgil at 200 mph.



EDIT: Even if it seems like it was removed, it's still up. Try copying this and remove the spaces:

NB: I also posted it on the Discord channel where the link works fine.

Bummer how Virgil seems to promote conspiracy theories about vaccines and other things.

Luckily he also plays the drums occasionally. This is Virgil at 66 years of age.
