Virgil's August Tokyo Clinic Video Clip

[Albert the Drummer]

Just discovered a couple of new video clips of Virgil Donati's new set-up, in a Tokyo clinic this summer !

Take a look at the intensity of Virgil's playing on these two clips, something I and others will see live at next weekend's drum festival in Montreal !

These clips are on Virgil's Web Site and the 4th and 5th clip on the site page.

Yeah, i was going to comment on those new clips but you "beat" me to it. ;c)

Aside from the obvious chops, take a listen to the 'layered' ostinato groove at approx 15 secs into the Tokyo 1 clip... [img]eek.gif[/img] [img]cool.gif[/img] [img]graemlins/thumbs_up.gif[/img]
Woo-haaahhh! Seriously hip.

My next comment is, at first glance, you'd think the suspended toms are an 80's poser hair band type gimmick...but then, to all our surprise [*snicker*], lo & behold, Virg really "PLAYS" them... [img]wink.gif[/img]
[Okay, Okay, so it IS good for an audience 'visual'...] ;c)

...[No, that's NOT rampant blatant sarcasm you 'see' dripping from that last line]... ;cP

Kurt,

I just went direct to the video page and was able to open the two Tokyo clips. Great, by the way ! The New Virgil !

Try again with the link on Albert's first post on this topic.

looking at those overhead toms, it occured to me that the 'thunder from down under' may have recently gotten 'thunderstruck'.




OK, i know, that was cheesy [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Good stuff. The site wasnt working for me before but is up for me now.

It aint working for me either so im running some spyware stuff just in case.
I asked Virgil when he first used this setup and he said it harks back to his melbourne days!

Do you see Virg? Looks like he quit Freakhouse. I saw him play with this band and it just didn't fit.

** I'm getting rid of the pic--poster actually. I didn't know it would post so large. No Virg...to see for yourself, go to;

Hey Pocketplayer,

Can you tell me how you managed to post the photo along with your reply ? What are the steps to do this ?
