It may seem like VIrgil Donati has become an overnight worldwide success with his high profile tours, drum clinics, and recordings. But he has dedicated countless hours to perfecting his craft since getting his first drumset one-month before his third birthday. Many drummers come to mind who've had a hand in raising the bar, but it's Virgil's incredible power and flexibility, intricate and odd-time phrasing, blinding quickness and powerful metronomic precision that have moved him to the forefront of the drumming community. The "Thunder From Down Under" is probably known best for his incredible footwork. Having developed amazing speed both with single and double-stroke rolls on the bass drums, he is able to hold complex, odd-tome and syncopated ostinatos at ridiculous tempos with is feet while soloing freely and musically with his hands.

Virgil Donati established himself as a premier session and touring drummer in his native Australia as a member of fusion groups Loose Change and On the Virg, a founding member of Southern Sons, and touring acts such as Tina Arena, Tribal Tech, Scott Henderson, Branford Marsalis, and many others. Since moving to the United Sates, Virgil has played and recorded with Planet X, Ring of Fire, Steve Walsh, and is setting new standards in the L.A. studio scene. He has become known as a near-obsessively disciplined player who sets Herculean standards for himself.
