Man please never leave Megadeth we love you

I was like how the f* did he do that even if I can see what you are doing the whole song. *$^$^%$%^$ those are mad skills man!

looks like you use a swivel technique just on the left foot on faster tempos...

Loved it! Dirk brought Megadeth back to life! Dirk, any chance to see you playing Late for the Kill, Early for the Slaughter? The drums from this music are sooooooooo amazing!!!

R.I.P. Gar Samuelson.... you got a great cover here with Dirk the Dragon Slayer!

Menza was incredible, but he could never quite play Gar's stuff like Gar could. I doubt Gar could have played Menza's stuff like Menza either. But Dirk? Dirk can do both. It's just a shame he's decades to late to have new material on par with the stuff those guys performed on to cement his own legacy. That isn't to talk down on Megadeth's new material, its about as fantastic as it could possibly be, but simply to acknowledge that the golden era is decades gone and almost no band ever rises to quite the same level again.

These videos make you appreciate the musicianship on those old albums more. The production of 80s Metal albums was so atrocious most of the time that often times great performances were buried in those terrible cloudy, muddy, reverb-drenched mixes. People like to give Metallica shit for the mixing of "... And Justice For All", but that album was pivotal for Metal productions. It's pretty much the fist big Metal album of the 80s that had this dry, super-focused, clear and tight sound where you could hear exactly what everyone's playing ... well, except for the bass player of course. That really was the blueprint for how Metal should sound.

So Fucking Timeless

RIP Guillaume, you were the fucking best

Lars is better

They even hired Fredrick from Meshuggah. :)

Awesome playing and that ride sounds like hells bells 😎

Waanzinnig! Kijk er naar uit je live bezig te zien op GMM 24!! Proud to be Belgian!

Dirk I love the videos you do GAR justice!! Anyway you could do last rites loved to death

Is this where Spencer Prewett from Archspire learned how to do that??

I subscribed Bro. You are an absolute legend

Jesus Christ this guy is going 200 mph down a 30 🚒🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🧯

Pure gold! Damn!

flawless

Man I hope you do a set the world afire video. 🙏🏾

I miss dirk in soilwork. He was the best.

Yknow in the jazz world, it’s called “Swiss triplets” Or yes, flam accents. But the key for me was to practice BOTH in alternating say, 4 bar or 2 bar phrases, and force myself to be able to easily…er…utilize whichever I needed to depending on what drums I was trying to hit while using the feel .! Great video still, and thank you. Btw. I would love to take a lesson with you, Idk how if you’ll ever see this but, thanks either way!!,

Please! Play Rust In Peace...Polaris!!!

no words! pain

perfectly

crazy

we need audio through the mics not cam audio thats like listening to a neighbour drumming

He is just reincarnation of Gar, Dirk really has that vibe in him.

Esse baterista é incrível

I idolized you brother. You're like my favorite drummer of ever.

vamoooosss DIRK lets goooooooooo aguante MEGADEEEEEEEEETH !!!!!!

Simplemente IMpresionante!!!!!

Asmuch as I feel sorry for soilwork to lose a beast, megadeth got a goldmine on their hands with Dirk!

In the pocket! What a joy to watch and listen to.

Great job dirk btw can you please explain how to play the drum breaks from Dogs Of Chernobyl and Life In Hell I can't find any tutorials online 😭

I am really happy you're with Deth but your solo work on Jeff Loomis's stuff killed me... Saw it live before a Soilworks show I know wtf is up lol

OUTSTANDING

Another job one! Dirk, I just saw your interpretation of that song by the Killers "Mr. Brightside". I think that's the name. I laughed when you said you didn't know it because I didn't know it either. The guys at the board acted like everyone should know that song. Nope! I was impressed how quickly you picked it up. I'm not impressed easily but you've got an amazing ear to pick the song up that fast. You were so kind praising the original song but I'm gonna be honest, I still don't like that song. You helped it a lot but it's just not my taste at all. Ha., chanting "MEGA - DETH".... 😄💯

Dirk, everyone is commenting on your crazy drumming but I think the added coolness is your awesome hair. 😉Also, keep reading how incredibly humble & nice you are. I believe that. What I've learned throughout the years, are drummers really are the nicest players. Don't know if part of the reason is because you're not right out front playing those screaming guitar solos getting all that adulation but I've seen patterns. Honestly, drummers should receive more credit. Think what the music would sound like with out the drums? IDC if a drummer is hitting a box, you've got to have the beat & rhythm. Good job, Dirk. I love this song too like many others. Just saw Dave added "She Wolf" to some of the South American shows. Would love to hear that live but then I've also got a lot more I'd like to hear. Just keep doing what you're doing & I'll "keep thinking it's your fault". 😉

There's a man that loves what he's doing. We all know Dave's an extremely intelligent individual. I mean who else could write "It gives me a migraine headache sinking down to your level"? Lost count how many times I've used that line. Anyhow, Dave could probably get any musician he wanted to tour with him but look who he choose. He knew what he wanted & he got it. Incredible lineup of exceptionally talented musicians. I love it. I really do. I'm going to be catching a show this late Summer. I can hardly wait.

Gonna be honest, I know very little about drumming but I definitely like music & everything it involves. This is incredibly interesting & entertaining. To keep the pace & intense drive of this speedy song has got to be difficult & tiring. Then you've got the rest of the set list. I'm thinking this song was added as #2. I really enjoyed this. Please keep adding these drum cams! Way to go Dirk!

Merci Dirk ! Superbe à écouter et à voir ! Quelle ambiance Buenos Aires :) :) !! Excellente tournée !

Whoa! That was fuckin awesome!

Does anybody know what headphones are those?

I wish they would write & record their next album as a BAND. To hear a truly collaborative album with the guys Dave has in the band right now, would be next level.

Gar and Dirk are the reason megadeths version is so much better

so good

Sick

I’ve been a fan of Megadeth since I first heard them….this…this….is AWESOME drumming! Impressive! ❤

The ride bell is the lowest pitch bell I can recall hearing in a long time, almost sounds like a railroad crossing bell.
