VIRGIL (a worldwide drum known legend today) has been an Australian drum icon/prodigy since the early 80's... for the sake of history, his first superband (amazing-spaced out fusion group) was the Melbourne based "Loose Change"(ask any Australian musician over 40 years old...scary shit what these guys played) ....& this is way before the Planet - X time (piece of cake for Virgil) ... (I must declare that I was fortunate enough to see them live countless times... and also, that I was one of his private students during that period =1986 ... since day one (first lesson) it became obvious to me ,that this guy (great guy, by the way) is from another planet ... perhaps Planet-X ...underlining that apart from being a musical genius...he was & is a workaholic witch accounts to endless practice from the age of 4 !!!)

Well Thomas Lang is a fantastic player, but Virgil's playing is so distinguished and unmatched in so many ways. Virgil is probably the best polyrhythmic drummer ever, and his ability to play over the most complex bass drum ostinatos at blazing tempos while maintaining such control and precision is a remarkable feat. I can’t even contemplate myself playing some of the things Virgil is doing.

Certainly ONE of the best, but in terms of raw skill...Vinnie Colaiuta, Tony Williams, Billy Cobham, and Dennis Chambers are also up there. And are all more musically tasteful than Virgil, IMHO. Also, best chops =/= best drummer. If they did, then Steve Gadd, Jeff Porcaro, Carlos Vega, Harvey Mason, Jim Keltner, Rick Marotta, Bernard Purdie, and many others wouldn't be considered among the best drummers. Which would be ridiculous.
