From a technical point of view, Megadeth songs may be a walk in the park for him, but I like how he respects the parts and plays them with the right groove and intention. Dirk is a master in metal drumming!
*Nick Menza* Kicked some serious Ass on *Rust in Peace* His Kick Patterns were freaking Insane, probably 1 of the very few Drummers who could give *Dave Lombardo* a Run for the Money back then 🕊
@@thisischavez I know, those lines are iconic. Gar, Nick and DIrk are the best drummers in Megadeth's history. Nevertheless Dirk's drum trucks on the newest record are soooo good that I prefer him the most
@@joeltallic5503 Yes. If you doubt this look up his drumming on Soilwork's album "The Living Infinite". Dirk has levels above Megadeth. While I wouldn't call this "easy mode" for him.... it is certainly nowhere near his full potential ability wise.
@@joeltallic5503 look up the track "Spectrum of Eternity" to start. Nick or Gar could not have played that on their best days. RIP to them both and they were absolutely groundbreaking drummers.
I saw those classics cymbals in the top down shot for the first time and I actually laughed out loud. Not because they look bad or weird, but because they look AMAZING. I know aesthetics are the last thing to take into consideration when shopping for cymbals, sound is everything, but these looks WILD and they sound great too! I didnt know this series, they are by far the best looking cymbals I've seen, what a sick look!
I find it unbelievable how nothing in this clip hints at what he really is capable of. What an amazing drummer to put the drum track and music first without compromise. Check him out playing Scarve - An Emptier Void in Rotterdam... Sheeesssh
Please, what is the left crash , to the right of his hihats but before or in between the first and second Tom toms ??. These classics are the first cymbals on metal drummer set up, besides one or two of Matt halpern’s crashes also by merino, but his are dryer and I think even uses a benny greb ride and hats. So, dirk, what’s that cymbal?? 16 “ Oh. Wait he says all at the end. Nice product placement. Can you send me one to “ try”?.?.??
Oh I’m totally wrong. It was a 19 inch, and then even a 20 inch on the right just above his ride cymbal! LOVE the larger, darker, cymbals, but these still crash thru like any A custom or byzance crashes I use, and even better maybe….althougg im sure yall spend $2000 mic’ing up this kit here. But . Amazing.
Dirk is an absolutely amazing drummer, but I gotta say I loved him way more during his Soilwork time. Megadeth is such a boring band for a talent of his caliber.
After seeing Dirk on Drumeo he’s fast becoming my favorite drummer, period.
same
He's incredible
What an amazing drummer.
Dirk is the perfect megadeth drummer, he’s like the best of Gar and Nick
Thank you I've been saying this since he joined the band! Not to mention he plays all the parts note for note as it was written! True legend 🤘🤘🤘
if only he doesn't look that cool because of the silly gloves but yeah other than that he's pretty good
@@caerxhan8313 Dumb comment, nothing wrong with wearing gloves, dont act lke you can play drums b etter than him either buddy
@@caerxhan8313 Gar, Nick and Jimmy DeGrasso all wore gloves. There's nothing wrong with that
And no hard drugs haha
When you see others play Take no prisioners it seems to be not thaaaaat fast, but when you try to play, the song its fast as fuck.
Never forget that this man recorded Juular and Deconstruction. Bro's a fucking legend

#truth bro!!
He recorded Sybreed's Antares too 👌
His drumming in other bands is godly
Please never leave Megadeth! My favourite drummer to sit behind Dave!

and gar samuelson
@@leonshreds387 *Gar* was awesome as well but I feel like *Nick* on *RIP* was a league above Megadeth's previous work.
@@SIRebrum nah
@@leonshreds387 C'mon dude, accept it !
What a beast 🔥 My fav Megadeth drummer ever
He is a badass but remember that Nick Menza wrote those drum lines.
@@thisischavez I know, those lines are iconic. Gar, Nick and DIrk are the best drummers in Megadeth's history. Nevertheless Dirk's drum trucks on the newest record are soooo good that I prefer him the most
This is great but don’t forget Vinnie Colaiuta!
Saw him this year. He was the happiest of the whole venue. He looks like he is having a blast playing drums.
Absolutely brilliant! Dirk is The Man! Nick would be very proud!
I like how they censored shit but not at the end where it's most prominent 😂
Checked the comments to see if someone had also noticed it. I was not disappointed. 🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽
Most gifted drummer Megadeth has ever had. What a fit.
Hands down!
More than nick?

could watch this video over and over.... awesome drumming and great production value
I think Nick Menza's drum parts on this album are a fantastic example of slick Metal drumming and Dirk truly is in his own league.
Dirk being the usual beast that he is. Also, those toms sound sooo good!
So resonant and he hits them with such power. Would be a treat to be in the room with him whilst he’s playing.
Dirk is so goddamn good! Love his style and playing 🤘
Truly underrated
F'n kick ass Drummer just seen Megadeth in concert dude was amazing !
Thanks dirk for being in megadeth
Great work!
Toda una obra maestra esa cancion y la bateria
He's so freakin cool. These drum parts are soooo tasty!!
Holy Shit!!!☠🔥 that was awesome!
Very clean!
Dude, that was cool. ❤
Sick sound!
Perfect drummer for Megadeth. 🤘

Perfect!!
So proud of our southern neighbour! Dirk is a legend!
I made a playlist with all the playthroughs (I think) Dirk has done on CZcams 😊
Siiik skills bruh! 🤘😎🤘
Nick Menza was fricking awesome! This was even a challenge for Dirk, who is twice the drummer Menza ever was.
Hermosa versión
Eso fue una brutalidad el solo final de batería es simplemente apoteósico
Aghh, take no prisoners. The best Megadeth song ever for me.
Excelente!!!
MARAVILLOSO!!!!!
Kicking some Ass!!!
So Badasssss!!!!!
The Best!
Dirk is so solid, Megadeth have had a lot of beast drummers and Dirk is right up there with them!
RIP the legend Nick MENZA!
Thank God they used the original master track!
That ruled
Would love a playthrough of Dogs of Chernobyl🤘🏻
Wow! 🤘🤘🤘
🔥🔥🔥🔥
Genioooooo ❤❤❤ AGUANTE 🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷
My homeboy.
Choking the ride is a nice attention to detail.
DAMN dude... 😎😎😎
1:37 always classic
He actually plays it right ..best drummer since nick
Genioooo
fuck .. note by note with a tad extra groove .. insane
I don’t care about the cymbals
And I am a drummer .
Dirk is what’s important here !
What a monster dirk .
We love you man .
Beat ‘em up brother !
Damn son!!
Dirrrrrrk!!! 🎉
Aguante meinl!!!aguante dirk!!!
Tighter than an Arizona class submarine in the Amsterdam canals....
With pin arms and legs.......No wonder im the biggest Soilwork fan!!
Not only is he technically brilliant, but each fill and snare is just so perfectly hit.
it's like nicko mcbrain meets gene hoglan
❤
GENIOOOOOOOOOOOO
Anyone know what headphones he's rocking?
🤘🤘🤘
He’s a fucking beast!!!!!
That double hi-hat beat is Nick signiture and Dirk plays it correctly unlike Jimmy and Shawn.
Meinl. Luv em 🤘🇦🇺🏴🥁🇦🇺
Ask what Dirk’s drumming can do for you
Fu*$^in impressive.
DIRK is MEGADETH. I've got to see him play live. He's GODZILLA on drums!🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁
Please, what is the left crash , to the right of his hihats but before or in between the first and second Tom toms
??.
These classics are the first cymbals on metal drummer set up, besides one or two of Matt halpern’s crashes also by merino, but his are dryer and I think even uses a benny greb ride and hats.
So, dirk, what’s that cymbal?? 16 “
Oh.
Wait he says all at the end.
Nice product placement.
Can you send me one to “ try”?.?.??
Oh I’m totally wrong. It was a 19 inch, and then even a 20 inch on the right just above his ride cymbal!
LOVE the larger, darker, cymbals, but these still crash thru like any A custom or byzance crashes I use, and even better maybe….althougg im sure yall spend $2000 mic’ing up this kit here.
But . Amazing.
Soilwork.
🎉🎉🎉🎉
was he allowed to make his take on this song by dave or given green light on how good he is and improved to better way.
2:00 !!
Well ok then!!! Awesome
THIS IS MEGADETH NOT THE STUFF NOW!!!🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
Ok, no lies. How many takes did you need to do this video? I’m awaiting your response Dirk 🤔
Imagine Lars trying to play this😂😂😂
Not everyone can afford playing for Megadeth... That's a fact!☢️
Wait, what version of the track is this? It's definitely not the horrid 2004 remaster, with the new voice tracks, but some bits DO sound like it...
Its original version without the drum track.
Isn’t this the drummer for The Killers?
0:03
😮😮unreal he is yoda
Best cover
Is this slowed down?. Tempo seems off.
Can’t stand the band, but there’s no denying Dirk’s chops and powerful,, clean hitting.
Good but nothing compares to what he did with Soilwork.
This the most "aaarggh" song ever hhhhh
LARS IS A SLOW METAL DRUMER!!!! IT'S NOT HIS FAULT!! HE'S OKAY!!!
show
I think Megadeth (Mustaine) should use more the talent of Dirk, or maybe Dirk can do another Scarve album and put all his potential
DIANA
Dirk is an absolutely amazing drummer, but I gotta say I loved him way more during his Soilwork time. Megadeth is such a boring band for a talent of his caliber.
GOod thing he left that boring band and joined the mighty MEGADETH.
Go talk shit about Megadeth somewhere else buddy
