The better you become personally as a drummer, the scarier Virgil’s playing becomes as you begin to understand just how far he has taken the art. I think you need a fair bit of experience to even appreciate what he’s doing as a listener, let alone being able to execute it on the kit. It’s out of reach for most of us technically. The odd groupings, poly rhythms and coordination this man has developed over decades have really taken drumming to a level that has never been achieved by anyone previous. Massive respect for the sacrifices Virgil must have made to get to this level.

there is NOONE on earth like virgil, i mean there are MANY great drummers, but virgil is above the rest, i was at an ultimate drummers weekend in australia and virgil, whilst watching him, i could not understand how he did what he did and do it so smoothly, if we are to talk about GOAT, virgil is it!! hands down, no questions asked, if you can find a drummer who does what virgil does, technically speaking, ill be surprised!!

I saw Virgil do a clinic years ago. Saw two hi hats up front on his setup. Then during his performance I was hearing a distant chick sound while he was playing and then I found some of the attendees were pointing to a 3rd hi hat way in the back of his setup. Never been in such awe seeing a drummer with so much talent! Virgil is indeed a legend in his own rite!

Lang is great at layering rhythms, but Donati is on a different level. It's not really a debate. Lang is great, and I do dig the hell outta him but he's a totally different vibe.

@@Juju2mangue I think one of the main differences between Donati and Peart is that Neal played the same parts, the same way every time and Vigil composes as he plays. Also, Virgil can swing and Neal couldn't. However, there's really no need to compare them.

@@farshimelt Peart played iconic drum parts for stadiums ; the audience was able to recognize every patterns and every fills, that's iconic (as a guitar part could be iconic). Donati plays to take his art at a next level gig after gig, in front of a specific audience. This is not the same deal and I'm sure they had respect for each other : because they are two great musicians : that's all. We can't compare Donati and Peart, as you said.
