Something that struck me with Dirk's appearance here as well as Tommy Aldridge's is that these guys bang these songs out night after night and still play with passion, ferocity, and zeal for an instructional video. Thanks to them and Drumeo!

    What a fucking insane song. And I love how Dirk is able to give it some personal flair without overdoing it. I also like that he uses a similar sounding snare and overall kit, it helps to seal the deal and make this sound like golden era Megadeth, with a modern touch. It's incredible that there is still a market for this music and that there are amazing musicians who are willing to dedicate their time to this stuff.

    My god, that was great to watch. It was 1990 again, and I was in middle school blasting Rust in Peace in my dad's Sony headphones, or on his Cerwyn Vega sub and Infiniti speaker cabinets with nobody home. I'd take off the screens and watch, mesmerized, as the 15" woofers did triplets to Menza's kick patterns, and the subwoofer growled out Ellefson's basslines and Menza's floor toms. God. That was legendary. Thanks for the trip down memory lane, Dirk and Drumeo. 🤘

    I love all the little extra bass drum notes Dirk is playing towards the end during Mustaine's solo. Nick Menza really was a metal drummer who wasn't scared to get in there and get dirty, plus his creativity was top notch. He had a big kit with big toms he had no trouble getting around. We lost a good drummer when he passed. His father was a famous jazz musician as well who was known for playing saxophone for the Pink Panther theme song.

    Brought tears to my eyes bro!!!!
    RIP Nick Menza, this song was so perfect the way he executed on EVERY part of the song! There is no part of this song where he should have executed any different. It is a real masterpiece!

    I can"t say enough great things about Dirk. I was sad to see Chris Adler go after the first Dystopia shows in 2015. When I first saw Megadeth with Dirk at OZZFEST 2016, I was blown away by Dirk's groove and even more so when they toured with Lamb of God in 2022. Man just chills and grooves. He shows us how it's done in this video, and every night he steps on that stage. Cheers, Dirk. You are incredibly deserving of this feat on Drumeo!

    Dirk is top notch as person and as a drummer. If you compare with Art Cruz's video I felt like his was trying to put himself on top of the song instead on mentioning Chris Adler who actually created the drum part. Dirk who is a fantastic drummer started the song by saying that this is a Nick Menza's song... Great values man, Megadeth is your home for sure. \m/

    i met dirk when they were doing album release parties for the sick dying and dead and let me tell you, he is such a great soul and seemed genuinely excited to meet us fans whereas for other musicians it may seem more like a chore. this megadeth lineup is one of the best in years and dirk is no doubt an amazing drummer. us megadeth fans are so lucky to have him 🤟🤟

    OMG! I was legit playing this track this morning and you guys come out with this!!!! Now I can clearly see what I did wrong - surprisingly I was able to keep up with the speed, but my kick was all over the place. I also have to get better at the fills. What an invaluable resource- thanks drumeo!

    Everybody from my generation still misses the sheer aggression of late Nick Menza, yet Dirk's not only professional (and proficient)
    He pays tribute to Nick's unforgettable parts but also puts a few personal touches here and there, like the use of the bell, and the kick fill
    Such a wonderful player
    Thank you Dirk
    From a 'deth fan now in

    I have seen live megadeth for years from rust in peace lineup to now and if for sure Nick was a master and a legendary member of the band , Kirk is doing an amazing job behind the drums with a lot of feelings and in my opinion a lot more of dynamic compare to all drumers in the band before . Love this guy!
