Drum Legend to host Drum Clinic in Albury 

[Stay in the loop follow our socials]

Virgil Donati is widely recognized as one of the most dedicated and technically advanced drummers of all time and is bringing his Drum clinic to Beer Deluxe in Albury!

Virgil was born in Melbourne, Australia, where he also launched his career. Since the mid-nineties he has been a household name. Residing in Los Angeles, Virgil is travelling the world as a international drumming superstar, as well as a composer and an educator.

He has performed and toured with the likes of Tommy Emmanuel, Steve Vai and Allan Holdsworth, while maintaining a busy schedule as a band leader and member of numerous recording and touring bands over the years, most notably Loose Change, Southern Sons, On The Virg, Soul Sirkus, Planet X and various incarnations of The Virgil Donati Band and The Virgil Donati Trio.

Virgil’s natural talent, combined with a herculean work-ethic and never-ending curiosity, has propelled him to an unbelievable performance level.
This November, Virgil will embark on a long-anticipated Australian Clinic Tour. DRUMscene was very fortunate to secure twelve clinic dates during Virgil’s busy November-December tour schedule! And so Virgil’s vast and loyal fan base will be treated to a clinic tour of monumental proportions, when he will be covering some of his unique and practical concepts first-hand in a presentation like no other!

“A lot has transpired since his last major clinic tour in Australia back in 2010. He’s written and produced three solo records, including the latest, RUINATION, scheduled to be released on November 8. During that time, as well as also releasing the debut IceFish record, HUMAN HARDWARE.

Virgil says I’m looking forward to sharing some of my most recent ideas on this upcoming clinic tour. I will be playing through material from ‘Ruination’, and a few IceFish cuts. Attendees will receive a handout with transcriptions of key drum grooves and fills from these tracks, embellished with other ideas I’ve been recently working on. I hope to make it an informative, and interactive event, and look forward to seeing you there.
Concurrently, I’m excited to announce a reunion tour with Southern Sons at the ‘One Electric Day’ festivals, and we’ll be playing some additional shows as well. Irwin Thomas (aka Jack Jones) and Reggie Bowman, from Southern Sons, also collaborated with me on Ruination, which turned out to be a fortuitous and synchronized series of events.”
