I think it's all about control....Virgil has amazing control of his limbs, and I think this is what we should strive for....not speed, or crazy chops, or anything like that, but control.....if you have control over the drums, you'll be able to do just about anyything....that's why I think it's important to practice things slowly and accurately....practicing that way will increase your control....
I've heard Mangini and Minnemann state openly that anybody can do the stuff that they are doing, it's just about hard work, and being willing to put in the time and practice the things it takes to acheive that kind of facility....so I think it's more about hard work than being a complete natural....
oh ya, welcome aboard
