Exactly what megadeth needed... his style is adaptive and very executed. So good. Just like how Art Cruz filled that gap for L.O.G not having Chris Adler as their drummer
There is no comparison to Gar Samuelson on drums. Menza was great but Samuelson was phenomenal. Personally I also like Poland more than Friedman but I’m better at picking drummers than I am guitarists. Before you disagree with me on Gar, don’t bother, I’ve already had these feuds time and time again and there’s nothing new you’re going to throw my way.
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
I know. Kit sounds great and just a little louder than normal. I fuckin love bass and drum playthroughs, especially when the part is special and should be a little louder. Here's one for you Champ th-cam.com/video/hgstA8vBopU/w-d-xo.html Glorious Bass
Dirk is an absolute beast. Sad he left soilwork, but if hes happy, all the power to him. I feel like he's a little under utilized in Megadeth for the talent he has.
I just look at it like this. Now he's got the cushy, high-paying corporate gig and can do what he really loves on his off-time. Just sad that we don't get to hear his creativity as regularly anymore for sure.
If anyone’s still watching this can y’all tell me if these are the B12 that gets sold for like $700 as a basic cymbal pack? I’m looking at them online. Really interested in them. Kick ass video.
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.
What an amazing drummer.
Agreed.
After seeing Dirk on Drumeo he’s fast becoming my favorite drummer, period.
same
He's incredible

@@gojirafan6666agreed
Well, Aquiles will alwaya be first for me, Thomas Lang, then Dirk, then Eloy
That era of Megadeth featuring Dave, Marty, Nick and Ellefson are unbeatable!!
Dude you can't say that without mentioning the original Megadeth with Gar and Chris. C'mon now!!!
@@davidperez5089That was a unique bunch but Rust line up was an effing monster!
Gar and Poland: Am I a joke to you?
@@blackbeansmatter1280 first two had better sound AND songs imo. BTW cool username I'm a black bean ripper myself.

RIP Nick. What a Drummer.
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.
Running through it at my practice space atm. You are 💯 correct. Lol
yeah, it's just relentless
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 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
Please never leave Megadeth! My favourite drummer to sit behind Dave!
Never forget that this man recorded Juular and Deconstruction. Bro's a fucking legend
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!
#truth bro!!
He recorded Sybreed's Antares too 👌
His drumming in other bands is godly
shit his work in Scarve and Soilwork was insane even before that
*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 🕊
and gar samuelson
@@leonshreds *Gar* was awesome as well but I feel like *Nick* on *RIP* was a league above Megadeth's previous work.
@@SIRebrum nah
@@leonshreds 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!
Most gifted drummer Megadeth has ever had. What a fit.
Hands down!
More than nick?
@@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.
@@pleasuretokill interesting ill check it out

Love Dirk! Great drummer with an infectious personality.
Not using the remastered version of this song makes it even more awesome ☢️
It's different tho, at the very last part "take no **aaaaahh** shit", that bit isn't on the original
You mean remixed
Killer drummer . I'm sure Dave is stoked to have him. He's fluid and he's powerful .
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!
could watch this video over and over.... awesome drumming and great production value
Thanks dirk for being in megadeth
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. 🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽
@@erzamurito They cut all the Tits and Ass, for sure - just left us with glorious Metal.
Nick Menza was fricking awesome! This was even a challenge for Dirk, who is twice the drummer Menza ever was.
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.
F'n kick ass Drummer just seen Megadeth in concert dude was amazing !
I think Dirk is the perfect drummer for this current era of Megadeth.
This guy is an absolute beast!!

Have to agree on that, they look so sick!
Dirk is so goddamn good! Love his style and playing 🤘
Truly underrated

Now I want to see Dirk playing the whole Rust in Peace album. 🤘
He should do playthroughs of the first four albums in full. That would be amazing
Perfect drummer for Megadeth. 🤘
Drums are also a music instrument that must be played with grace and feeling. This is the proof
He's so freakin cool. These drum parts are soooo tasty!!
I would never have thought of choking the ride cymbal. Sound engineers must like recording with Dirk.
Good job MEINL, good job for inviting Dirk.
Megadeth's drum definitely had fun playing this
This is what it looks and feels like to run at top speed for 5 miles without stopping in under 5 minutes....
So tight and so precise, what a drummer!!!
Toda una obra maestra esa cancion y la bateria
AMAZING MIRACLE
Dirk is so solid, Megadeth have had a lot of beast drummers and Dirk is right up there with them!
Thank God they used the original master track!
Holy Shit!!!☠🔥 that was awesome!
I know. Kit sounds great and just a little louder than normal. I fuckin love bass and drum playthroughs, especially when the part is special and should be a little louder. Here's one for you Champ th-cam.com/video/hgstA8vBopU/w-d-xo.html Glorious Bass
Superb!
Dirk was great in Soilwork, still killing it!
Fkin beautiful!
So proud of our southern neighbour! Dirk is a legend!
I made a playlist with all the playthroughs (I think) Dirk has done on TH-cam 😊
Watching him made me think being a drummer is a great fun job. 👏👏👏
On Point with out being "too hard", sound definition crystal clear---Maestro
Nick Menza’s creation of these parts is stellar
Would love a playthrough of Dogs of Chernobyl🤘🏻
Gar, Nick, Jimmy, Dirk the best of megadeth
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 !
AMAZING cover 👏🏻
Dirk you are incredible!
One of the best metal drummer ❤

Great Drumming. Great Songwriting
YOU RULE!!! BADASS BROTHER!!
Dude, that was cool. ❤
1:36 always classic
Seen megadeth live n dirk was a beast 🤘🏽
So Awesome.
Aghh, take no prisoners. The best Megadeth song ever for me.
Sick sound!
Awesome cover 👌
Rest In Peace, Nick!
Well done Dirk!
He actually plays it right ..best drummer since nick
so good
He did great in soilwork I met him outside a real small club he was drying his clothes in the street.
Choking the ride is a nice attention to detail.
Great work!
Absolute beast!!!😊
DIRK is MEGADETH. I've got to see him play live. He's GODZILLA on drums!🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁
Great drummer!
dude is muting even the ride, fucking legend
Those cymbals are fucking delicious.

RIP the legend Nick MENZA!
Eso fue una brutalidad el solo final de batería es simplemente apoteósico
fuck .. note by note with a tad extra groove .. insane
Perfect!!
The Best!
Awesome 😍😍👍👍
Not only is he technically brilliant, but each fill and snare is just so perfectly hit.
it's like nicko mcbrain meets gene hoglan
That double hi-hat beat is Nick signiture and Dirk plays it correctly unlike Jimmy and Shawn.
Kicking some Ass!!!
RIP Nick 😢
