it was posted a link some weeks ago here,it only says it's at Orlando.It's from a camera on the right of Virgil.

Anyone???? :confused: :confused: :( :(

[jimi]

It was a link from a guy over at the HOD board (www.houseofdrumming.com)
the link is down now, sorry :(

Ahhh I remember that one, thats was damn good, was it the one where the camera man p****d everyone on this board off by moving the camera during Virg's solo? Or the other one which was entitled "Virgil"?

[8===8]

no,the camera wasn't moving at all. But plz,there are 4 replies but none answers my question.
i know that some of you can answer,gimme some of your time plz

I can´t divide that solo in sections as YOU would.....perhaps you can do that and we´ll try our best in describing it. Do something like:
part "X" - goes from 1:32 to 1:59.... or something like that, then I´m sure a good soul here will reply properly. Believe me, in those 6 minutes, lots of things are going on.

[8===8]

ok i've diveded it into these parts:
start-0.17
0.18-1
1-1.34
1.35-2
2-2.43
2.44-3.37
3.38-4.43
4.44-5.30
5.30-5.40
5.40-end

if anyone could tell me what's going on in any of these...

(plz)

[8===8]

please??? :rolleyes: :confused:

[jimi]

i'd help you but i dont have the clip, sorry!

[Revan]

And how are we supposed to describe to you what he's doing if you're not a drummer?

[8===8]

i'm not a drummer,i'm a musician however.i think i'll understand

[Lucius]

Some of the stuff we dont even get man, hehe :D Well, as Jimmy said, If I had the clip I would be able to tell you! sorry

[Revan]

So do you just want a general breakdown of what he's doing or do you want a tab?

So do you just want a general breakdown of what he's doing or do you want a tab?

Sorry, I've been off the board for a while... I have the clip and I'll do my best

[MaltBuddow3]

1-basically he's setting himself up for a groove
2-Virg shows off his hand foot coordination in a cool groove
3-That's one of his signature grooves which incorporates hurtas(a standard drum corps lick) on his feet, very difficult to do, he's setting up the time for some chops work
4-He takes that triplet groove and turns the quater note triplet into the beat, giving the listener a "false sense of time," but "one" is always there... it's just hiding!
5-doing some tricky rudiments on the feet, sounds to me like inverted flam taps, and then back into the groove. I think once the groove starts he's playing fives on his feet on occasion, another very difficult thing to do (2.43)

I gotta go practice some more... I'll finish later if no one else picks up where I left off

[stapper15]

hey guys, you keep talking about this clip but i cant find it haha! help please?

thx MaltBuddow3
can you also say in each part the time signatures he's playing? and also the exact times?

thx a lot :cool:

[MaltBuddow3]

I'll go back and double check... but I'm pretty sure the whole thing I syphered is in 4/4, but he changes tempo a few times.
