Official Virgil Donati thread

From a musicallity perspective I would add Marco Minnemann to that list...

Boy yer darn right....Marco is a BEAST. Gergo is as well. Chris is so powerful and wicked but he doesnt do it for me

[Morgenthaler]

So, who's the scariest drummer right now ?
It must be between Virgil, Gergo and Chris Coleman right ?
I don't see more "advanced" drummer than them ?

You can be fast and you can be advanced and you can be original. I think Virgil fits all of those bills, making him the legend he is.

That said, there are a few more drummers I find scary good on one or more of said accounts.

Travis Orbin
Eric Moore
Matt Garstka

Don't mean to argue with ya...

[percusski]

I'll nominate Pete Zeldman's for that list, I've studied with him and can confidently say he's way out there conceptually and musically...

IMHO Chris grooves harder than any of the other guys you mentioned.

[Morgenthaler]

Let’s get back on topic, gents

[Morgenthaler]

It baffles me that the sound on DrumChannel is sub-par.
(In my opinion, the videos Virgil produces in his studio, are of crazy production value)

Also, I don't quite agree with Virgil's cymbal selection. The crashes here die too quickly, but the drumming is awesome
