That was truly cool. For an "experiment" that was pretty polished.

How about the pitting on the head of the inverted bass drum to his left!!

Indeed.

Virgil is a hard hitter. But due to his clean technique (I think) I've rarely seen him go through drumheads.

Most of his music is in 4/4 although he's ventured nicely into odd times now and then.

Here's another from that new Phil Buckle album, also in 4/4, albeit with a few beat displacements towards the end

I love this DVD because it shows what actually *can* be executed in a live prog fusion environment.
I noticed Doug Shreeve's facial expressions during 'Dragon Bones' (36:17) - one of my personal favs from Serious Young Insects, which amount to

"Holy fuck, we are doing this shit live!"

That natural reverb in Virgil's new home studio is
