He has a lot of experience and good musical instinct. There are some simple tricks or shortcuts you can use though, especially if you're playing a straight 4/4 pop format song. That being said, he crushed it with only one take, which is amazing!
Dirk is awesome! was super bombed when he left Soilwork as i feel his talent really was used to the fullest in that band... but then when Megadeth asks....
What I love about this guy is just how much FUN he has doing this. He's genuinely hyped about the challenge of coming up with an original drum track for stuff he's never heard before. I'm guessing it's because, as he stated previously, he does a lot of studio gigs, and so he has to be flexible and varied with his skill set. So for him this is like a no stress bit of homework, where he can get some practice in to increase his tool kit, without actually being on the clock for a paid gig. So for him it's a win win, no stress challenge, purely for the fun and test of it. Plus he's just a genuinely amiable and upbeat guy it seems. And that's always fun to watch.
That and his blink-and-you-miss it mini-blastbeat later on show how tasteful Dirk is. Yeah, he's good, but he never stops thinking about how to make the whole song sound better, make it more exciting or interesting, and sometimes it means knowing when not to play. I'm remindd of King Crimson's "Trio," where the band was just jamming and told Bill Bruford to join in with whatever he felt was appropriate. He didn't, and they still gave him a writing credit on the song. His instrument? "Impressive restraint."
@@hughmungus8701 I kinda want to see that as well, but I also kind of don't because I'd hate to see a singer react to this stuff with the mindset of "Oh, they're trying to do better than me" and not "Oh, that's a cool cover".
The most impressive thing about this one, for me, was that he's the first guy who's done this who's left a spot for complete silence, and a place where it made complete sense. Everyone else is trying to fill everything!
That definitely shows his experience playing different kinds of music and composing for literal decades. Because everyone who's tried to write anything has wound up doing way too much and then someone else adds in silence and they go "holy shit!". Dirk also just seems like the nicest fucking guy in the world lol
Yes bro you’re so right. Dirk talked about one of the previous drummers from Megadeth, Nick Menza, how he was a drummer who filled in the spot and made the song better, he wasn’t trying to fill everything and overdue it. Dirk is the exact same way. Love them both. Nick is my favorite tho 🤘🏼🔥
Dirk is a beast. Man is a true professional. Love where he drops the drums out and just lets Hayley's vocals shine. Absolutely brilliant considering that was one take.
His pause elevates the whole song, I'd be furious if I was Paramores drummer, cause jesus how is it possible to improve a track this much in 1 listen 1 play.
I think what sets Dirk apart is writing VERY good notes on the first listen, keeping it tasteful, and relying on feel for the rest. Just super professional. And he's never like "I don't like this", "not my style" or "what the hell is this" He's just stoked to hear new music.
@@AndrewRooneyDrums Zac is absolutely amazing. He unfortunately burned himself out and fell out with the band a bit in their younger years, but came back and proved he's got the perfect versatility for a band like Paramore who experiments a lot with genres.
Dirk's simply one of the best, most versatile players out there. I love hearing him play live with Megadeth, but I love his Drumeo videos just as much. He always seems to be having a great time and totally understands that every song has a different energy. He's always working to improve himself and always keeps his ego in check.
One thing that strikes me in these Drumeo videos is it appears the channel has really gotten a lot of respect from the actual music industry. They seem to have no problem recruiting some of the best players in the world to come on their channel and teach and then also partake in this kind of fun segment as well. I think it is because the channel has always treated its guests with a lot of respect and has never tried to make anyone look bad. I also think the musicians know what it is like to pick up an instrument for the first time and want to help someone's musical journey.
As someone who started drums like 3 months ago, drumeo has been my main source of learning and progression. I had literally never touched a kit before and now I can (semi) confidently get through a simpler song and experiment with different styles and fills. They make the method so linear and easy to follow.
You can see what places Dirk in the top tier of (Metal) drummers: more than his impeccable technics and his creativity, his ability to learn and understand a song immediately. It is understandable why he is one of the most sought after session drummers who played for so many bands. Regarding him saying that he would not be able to play Meshuggah. Just check his playthrough for Asphyxiate just to prove he is lying to himself :P
What Dirk says about playing like you're being recorded reminds me of advice that I got when switching from film to digital photography about 20 years ago: you still have to take each shot as if you intended to make a large print from it. If a shot feels marginal in the viewfinder, just don't take it. Of course, you have to edit the pictures away a lot once back home, you first drop 90% of everything, then do very basic edits on the rest (at the time, crop + curves), and keep 10% of that (i.e. 1% of the shots). My Canon 5D was my primary camera from 2005 to 2019, and in 15 years I only took about 7500 shots with it.
Im not a musician at all but a big Paramore fan. Lol I really liked how dirk had that pause at the end for Hayleys high note. He's a goat. Also crazy they wrote that song when they were 17 lol
Another great reaction - and another great Drumeo vid. I'm really liking listening to Dirk. Good stuff. Since you don't know this song - I don't feel so bad for never hearing Mr Brightside before that reaction. lol (I played quite a bit of Rock Band with the kiddo, and Misery Business was included but Mr Brightside was an additional purchase.)
Been a Paramore fan since this song and album its on. Makes me so happy when people appreciate them. Hayley Williams is one of the best singers in the past 20 years and Zac is a underrated drummer
Great video as always Andrew. I second your comment of Charlie Banante playing the Barbie soundtrack being a potentially good video. I havent seen it, but sounds very interesting!
Shocked you've never heard Misery Business. It's the song that launched them through the stratosphere years ago. Also, Zac's drumming on the track is so S-tier and fits the song so well and is so fun to play that even Luke Holland played it pretty much as-is when he did his drum cover years ago. Super fun song to drum.
What’s crazy Zac was only 14 playing and writing the drums for this song. And he now plays it on a very minimalist drum set now. The drums alone for this song is what really got me into the band.
Surprised you had not heard Misery Business before, it was their breakout hit and what most people associate the band with (at least in the US) Appreciate your review and analysis, and I have a new appreciation for Dirk as well.
This is the song that first put Paramore on the map. It was the first single from their second album way back in '07 (their first album didn't sell well and failed to chart). It's been a permanent staple of their live shows until Hayley Williams decided she really hated the message of the line "once a wh**e you're nothing more," and decided to stop playing it. I don't think that lasted very long and they brought the song back to the sets with Hayley just letting the audience sing that line. Really loved Dirk's take on it! He definitely put more of a "metal" spin on, but just enough so that it was tasteful and not distracting. As someone who's played this forever on guitar it's weird not hearing that shift to the four snares to the bar in the chorus!
I'm surprised you haven't heard the song. This is the song that put Paramore on the map, they absolutely exploded with it. Maybe that's why you recognize the name.
I could see Pau from the Warning play this and sing it at the same time 😊 Nailing this after just one listen is crazy tho. He would probably be an amazing session drummer
As someone who's never heard this song before watching this video, I think I actually prefer Dirk's version to the original. There's something about his drumming (maybe the kick?) that makes it sound less poppy.
As a longtime fan of both Soilwork and Megadeth, Dirk has been such a blast to experience since joining Soilwork and hitting the big scene. I was a bit sad when he left for Megadeth although he is still in one of my favorite bands. Maybe a bit underused with his skill set, though :D. Amazing drummer, amazing human being.
Zac Farro was Paramore's first drummer. He was 14 when they started in '04 and 16 when they recorded Misery Business in '07. He left with his older brother (Paramore's original lead guitarist) in 2010, citing that the band was pretty much Hayley Williams' solo project and that she was the only member signed to a record label, which she and the remaining members didn't deny. Zac rejoined Paramore in 2016.
14:30 regarding his note taking. He's a session guy too i guess so he's going to have a system. I remember in univ, i could take notes at full converstaion speed without missing much. I had short forms of so many words and concepts. I had a system for any word to ending in "tion" and i could get words down from 10+ letters to 3-4. Every year, my short system grew more complex and included more things. At first, most of my friends had no idea what i was writing, by the end, we shared notes and they had no problems borrowing my notes for days they missed. Anyways, my point is, he could have very little written and scribbled down that opens up to a lot of information.that isn't visible.
I think they should do this with an entire band. Have each musician hear the original without their instrument and fill it in and then in the end make a mix of all their tracks and see what they end up with. Probably need to do some adjustments to make it fit but only be able to suggest changes to their own parts to make it fit Like a blind cover 😊
Check out Jon Sortland of the band Cigar. Hes more known as the drummer for the band The Shins. But dude is INSANE!!!!! Check out the few drum cams of his. I think you would be impressed
He makes it look so easy. I guess thats what happens when your good enough to be the drummer for one of the biggest metal bands in history and before that soil work another metal titan for a time
Could you do Drumeo's Jess Bowen Hears Rage Against The Machine For The First Time? One listen, one take, no notes. All of these Drumeo sessions are amazing!
Zac Farro. Would highly suggest listening to Ignorance, Emergency, or Brick by Boring Brick by Paramore to get a better idea of his full sound as their drummer. And obviously their newest stuff is pop indie funky vibes.
I always wondered how drummers decided what they are going to do on the track? Is it based on the rhythm, lyrics, do they have a pre made drumming set and modify it for the song?
You should definitely check out “Metal Drummer Hears Led Zeppelin For The First Time” on Drumeo for the next reaction, very very talented guy, I think he’s a TH-camr 66Samus, 100% worth the watch
Paramore are currently touring, supporting Taylor Swift. This is where I assume a lot of their recently gained popularity stems from. Lovely to see a bunch of young women getting into Paramore, maybe through that into rock in general
Dirk seems like a God-Tier session player. It is unbelievable how quickly he can break a song down.
he joined so many band before joined full time for megadeth. that now he is unable to do session or tour with his previous bands
He has a lot of experience and good musical instinct. There are some simple tricks or shortcuts you can use though, especially if you're playing a straight 4/4 pop format song. That being said, he crushed it with only one take, which is amazing!
Very few times you get real jaw dropping moments this is one.
@@rehannoor4961 so this with drumeo gotta have been some "let go valve"

I agree.
Also great marketing. Anyone who wants to hire a studio drummer and sees this will contact him.
Right?!
Amiable and amicable
Love his attitude. And love the way he wasn't too busy, but added his own metal influence in more subtle ways.
I love how he let's Hayleys-vocals @7:57 just take the stage solo. He's amazing.
honestly this one part in particular arguably sounds better than the original imo
That and his blink-and-you-miss it mini-blastbeat later on show how tasteful Dirk is. Yeah, he's good, but he never stops thinking about how to make the whole song sound better, make it more exciting or interesting, and sometimes it means knowing when not to play.

"Oh yeah dats great! Really cool song!" -Dirk every time they play him back the original part
"Tell me! Tell me everything!!" XD
Zac was 16 when that song was recorded, crazy! And Dirk is just amazingly skilled, just brilliant at figuring it all out in an instant
WTF!?
Everything I've heard from Zac is fire!
The album was 2007, and they were born all born between ‘88 and ‘90, so…yeah

Of course he'll be able to play meshuggah, he's just being humble. Dirk can play literally anything
That's amazing. He listened once and charted the song. Then he played what could easily have been a keeper track in a studio session.
Dirk, what a drummer but what a wonderful human being he is.

Check out Dirk doing "Early for the slaughter, late for the kill" play through, from his time in Soilwork!!! Awesome!😊
Love Dirk. Great human being…
Dude that was bad ass!! There is a reason why Mustaine picked him as a his drummer. Mustaine is one of the hardest lead man to ever play with.

Zac Farro was Paramore's first drummer. He was 14 when they started in '04 and 16 when they recorded Misery Business in '07. He left with his older brother (Paramore's original lead guitarist) in 2010, citing that the band was pretty much Hayley Williams' solo project and that she was the only member signed to a record label, which she and the remaining members didn't deny.

14:30 regarding his note taking. He's a session guy too i guess so he's going to have a system. I remember in univ, i could take notes at full converstaion speed without missing much. I had short forms of so many words and concepts. I had a system for any word to ending in "tion" and i could get words down from 10+ letters to 3-4. Every year, my short system grew more complex and included more things. At first, most of my friends had no idea what i was writing, by the end, we shared notes and they had no problems borrowing my notes for days they missed. Anyways, my point is, he could have very little written and scribbled down that opens up to a lot of information.that isn't visible.
The most amazing part imo is what he does on the second verse where he plays the vocal part as a fill. That's extremely difficult to do.
Hey, I have that “Meet me at Geddy’s” shirt!
That China breakdown was excellent.
1 f..cking listen to the song..and already have the full structure down ... man Dirk is special
I wish you would play after you reviewed his playing the drums to how you play it and then break it down
I think they should do this with an entire band. Have each musician hear the original without their instrument and fill it in and then in the end make a mix of all their tracks and see what they end up with. Probably need to do some adjustments to make it fit but only be able to suggest changes to their own parts to make it fit
Like a blind cover 😊
That's a crazy good idea
The first two Paramore albums were great.
Really great pop rock

Megadeth is a God tier band.. Peak of talent and technical skill. Truly one of the if not the greatest bands of all time.

only know this song because of Rock Band on my old PS3 hahahaha

That's light work for homie lol. He said a couple blast beats and a generic punk beat? I got you haha
Those fills at like 8 minutes and 30 seconds haha. Better than yhe original
You might see El Estepario's cover of this song...😅
That was one hell of an showing for only hearing a song once. Were that an audition I'm sure he'd have the gig.
