Virgil Donati amazing 9 minute drum solo

So much respect to Virgil. My buddy is his drum tech and Virgil stayed with him for a few months. This man Virgil gets up early, puts in at least 3 hours on drums, goes for an intense run, showers, drums for another 3-5, eats dinner (no junk food, only healthy food), and finally drums for another 3-5 before going to sleep... and he does this EVERY SINGLE DAY. Thats 9-13 hours of practice A DAY... no socializing, no bullshitting or wasting any time at all. Straight work all day, every day, to become one of the greatest of all time. One of the most disciplined practice routines and mindsets I've ever heard of. Incredible.

Virgil is a inspiration not Just a drummer but as a human. Living to the ART.

Nobody as push this instrument more than Virgil , majority of people don't understand the passion he put's in.

Multiple brains playing together... this man is clearly not from planet earth...

Beyond Superb ! This Gentleman is Brilliant !

Thank you for sharing!

I'll never forget seeing Virgil with Planetx on the moonbabies tour in a small nightclub in Seattle we we're right at the front and his solo was ballistic felt like being on a insane roller-coaster 🎢 ride we were literally laughing off time signature is almost unheard of 🤪

I had the absolute privilege of providing the sound for a few Premier drum clinics, which Virgil was on , so pleased Ii had stopped playing myself before I met him . What a fantastic guy, standing ovation every night.

That bass drum is killer !

Most technical advanced drummer in the world ...cannot be duplicated ...

Honestly. !. I gave up trying to keep up with the time's !!. 👍👏👏👏. Unbelievable

64 years young!

SUPERRRRRR Incredibile Virgil !!!! Spaventosamente Bravo!!! UNICO

A legend! ❤

Look, guys and girls - listen to this with headphones. Ya know what you're gonna hear? Drums which don't come thru in the phone mix this video was made with... More than any other instrument on the stage, the drumset is the most difficult to push to the listening audience. If you're a drummer playing live in front of people, make friends with the sound guy/gal. They are literally the aural gate keeper

magnifico.:washhands::washhands::washhands::washhands::washhands::washhands:

Ever thought you were insane? This drummer brings it to life. His skills are incredible.

His kick sounds like a cannon!

Great solo and filming , just hope this stays up for a bit as it’s wonderful , was this a clinic ?

Planet X .. He is still untouchable!!
