Virgil Donati / The Gang From Rock Page

Hawk · Post by **Hawk** » Sunday Nov 12, 2006

Five of us ended up at Dale's in Harrisburg to see one of the greatest drummers in the world do a clinic.

Then we stayed for a drum lesson with Virgil that lasted over two hours. Very enlightening and exciting experience.

Virgil is Rob's all time favorite drummer. So we actually called Rob up and Virgil talked with him for several minutes. Very cool guy !

Rob , did that just blow you away ?!?!

I put a small review on the Pearl Drummers Forum. If you click the link you can see some pics of Donati, The Rock Page Gang, and Donati on the phone with Rob !

It was such a great experience. It's when you wish everyone could share it with you. We kept saying it's too bad Shawn, Bobby and Rob couldn't be here.

I'll let you know, when I get it. They are going to send it to me. I don't want to get into the details.

Aside from that, it was a pretty perfect day.
