Virgil heavily featured in this 1989 segment of the Aussie Bert Newton Show. Master Blaster never sounded more double bass'y. But some tight, innovative, and core Virg elements are in there.



I think I actually have an article covering that US clinic tour. I remember a description of Vinnie being completely bonkers good. Let me see if I can find it.

Once more, Virgil teamed up with Vivien Lalu for an epic banger. His home studio acoustics really shine here.

Some nice hihat details from ca. 0:34-0:40 and good dynamics between the two hihats throughout.

Playthrough of the near-impossible Panzerballet version of Meshuggah's Bleed. Pretty insane drum solo towards the end. Happy 68th, Virg!
