2:29 That fill right there is some next level shit And it is part of the original song as well, even more proof of what a fucking beast Gar was with his Jazz influence being mixed with metal
More like Adler. Dave will tell you that. Although, Kiko and Dirk is like having Marty and Gar in the band at the same time. They are very much in that style. Dirk is the only drummer since Gar to play Gars parts correctly, and Kiko injects much needed melody into the solos.
@@dcmastermindfirst9418 Adler toured briefly for it. He was really sloppy live which is why he didn't last long. They had a drum tech who filled in before they got Dirk.
I am here to say that this live performance of Dave's solo is just one of the best... that pinch harmonic at 3:13 is perfect, so menacing and flows so well...
Even If I'm beyond Megadeth's songs I WOULD STILL SELL MY ASS to play this song and other with them live Dirk is really REALLY talented and also lucky to play with a metal legend like Mustaine
Sometimes the super technical playing gets stale and boring after a while and drummers need a break from it, this is a nice change up for them, but this song is no slouch shit either, especially when that double bass kicks in
Wow. I wish you’d put up more drum cam. Dirk is such a professional and so good. I have to say this version of the band is the best I’ve ever heard. All of them are on top of their game. Dang.
incredible! just like gar, the only thing I miss a little is the barely open hi hat, but it sounds exactly as it should be! dirk is a beast, and it is exactly what megadeth needs atm, I am sure that jazzy feel will help the new album a whole lot
To be fair lars could probably play that. It's just 8th note triplets with the first hit of the triplet. He would probably never play it if he could but he probably could if he wanted to.
The thing i love os how the guitar and the drums complement each other. Like the drums accenting certain guitar parts. I love some of the early Megadeth stuff
@@dblkicksally8318 nah, degrasso carried his whole style on the back of the double bass, Dirk, just like gar, has some masterful fucking chops. Menza was tight but didnt have much of a groove in comparison to dirk or gar
There isn't anything any of the previous Megadeth drummers have done that Dirk can't do. Not shitting on any of them, but Dirk is on a whole new level. Go listen to the Soilwork albums. Dirk is a monster. It still blows he left Soilwork, but things are what they are and I'm looking forward to the new Megadeth disc for sure. Going to bet it will be the most technical thing they've done since Rust.
Dirk kills that blast beat after the first solo. Megadeth’s previous drummers have been able to play Gar’s drums fine, but there’s something special about the way Dirk does it.
Dirk is the man. Since Gar Samuelson left the band, his drum parts have never been played so well. Dirk's style reminds me a lot of Gar's. Can't wait for their next album.
I like seeing dirk enjoying himself playing this this is just a blast to playthrough brings a grin to my face whenever i here the drum parts to this song or even the whole song altogether
That's a fucking horrible thing to say, Marty Friedman moved to Japan because he loves the culture, and now he's a celebrity there. I think he did pretty well for himself after Megadeth.
Gilitar man ... stop living in the past, Marty moved to japan and he is living his life , Kiko is doing a kickass job playing the old stuff and Dystopia is awesome
Don't get me wrong,..Nick took the band to the next level and I was blessed to know him...but Gar was a whole different kind of monster and I learned so much from him and Dirk reminds me of Gar alot....just amazing
I still can't deal with anyone saying Gar was not the best guy for Megadeth. I was a teenager in the 80's and he was a god to us. The first guy to really bring a jazz drummers sensibility to metal. Still haven't seen anyone quite like him in metal. Not one drummer since has been able to duplicate his feel. Jimmy came damn close. The album Vinnie is on I can't even listen to. it's not Megadeth to me....
Fuck yes, those first 2 Deth albums are fuckin' untouchable even by any Deth lineup after that one lol. Absolutely vicious and raw METAL!!!! RIP was great too but I couldn't care less about anything after those. And So What?!?!?, yeah......so what, couple good tunes on there in concept I suppose.
Want to watch him play Darkest Hour!!! I've never seen Dirk play before and I'm intrigued by his reach from the throne to the drums. Seems like he's just larger than the kit and has total control. Dig it!
All my favorite drummers use sets where are 2 bass drums, 3 -4 toms, 4 crashes, 2 floor toms ,one splash and one ride with large bell area or extra ice bell,,one hi-hat (open ).
I think it's funny all the comments "Yeah he's a great drummer" "Dave finally found the right one". Dirk is waaaaaaaaayyyyyyy better than he plays for Megadeth. When I found out Dirk was with them I thought it was a step down for him, playing wise not artist wise obviously. There's a blast beat named after him called the "Dirk blast". Only a top notch drummer earns something like that.
Wait for the new album, he does blast Beats. I bet this is gonna be the best drumming album of Megadeth. Lets hope the songs are great, too. Gor some reason i'm pretty positive the next one will be at least as good as dystopia!
sick and on point . i like it when drums stick to the original beat and gives you a clean and slick performence rather than improvising and over doing it .
I dont know if he could or could not. But he didn't play it in the live performances and also in the drum cover he did a few years ago. That roll is gar signature roll. And Dave mustaine said in the Peace sells remastered interview (2003) that no one could emulate that, Degrasso was close in my opinion. And here we are, Dirk playing gar fills like it was supposed to. Bare in mind that, again, dave said that dirk reminded him a lot of gar's playing. Nick was a beast, there is no point denying that, but gar, gar was unique because he had a different mindset and style of playing, he was jazz fusion drummer, not a metal one. With that said, Dirk playing both menza's and gar's drum parts to perfection is something to aknowledge.
Yet to this day, no matter how professional they were, none of the drummers megadeth ever had were able to replicate the groove samuelson had on this song!
Maybe by you. But to many of us who were listening before Nick was there that’s not the case. Nick was good, but in Megadeth Gar is unmatched. Dirk is the closest thing to him. Having seen Dirk live multiple times with Soilwork ,Megadeth falls well inside his skill set. He can do Gars jazzy fluidity and groove justice, while easily matching Nicks speed, precision and power.
@@garrypurchaseartist7313 I play drums for 25 years and I can tell you Dirk cannot match Nick's groove and creativity. I respect Gar and his technique but Nick was easily the best.
KHfan4ever23 When you say Verbeuren kills Degrasso do you mean you think he's much better drummer than Degrasso? If so , you are so wrong! Degrasso is better player !
Man, this is such a step down from the shit he was busting out on Soilwork. I picture him getting bored as hell with these structures, and going back to Soilwork lol
Dirk taught briefly at the same music school I teach at, he even judged me in the GC Drum off, his gf or wife ( ?) is from Cleveland so he is around town sometimes which is weird because I first heard of him from the French band Scarve so it is always shocking to see him in Ohio of all places! Anyhow it is intimidating to have a drummer like him watch you play but he is super friendly, down to earth and humble so he deserves s great gig like Megadeth! Side note, Holy Shit ( wars ) is that snare tight but it has a nice authoritative crack!
2:29
That fill right there is some next level shit
And it is part of the original song as well, even more proof of what a fucking beast Gar was with his Jazz influence being mixed with metal
The man who put the fire back into Megadeth.
that'll be Kiko.
More like Adler. Dave will tell you that.
Although, Kiko and Dirk is like having Marty and Gar in the band at the same time. They are very much in that style. Dirk is the only drummer since Gar to play Gars parts correctly, and Kiko injects much needed melody into the solos.
@@itsalwayssomething7490 Adler only recorded the album. Dirk tours it
@@dcmastermindfirst9418 Adler toured briefly for it. He was really sloppy live which is why he didn't last long. They had a drum tech who filled in before they got Dirk.
Nope. Dave states that he was purely a session drummer. His live playing has nothing to do with him exiting the band. Get your facts straight
2:21 That extra hit on the cymbal was seamless af
Came here to see how many other people noticed it. My second favorite thing about the vid, behind the full at 1:05. Dirk makes it look so easy.
Those little ghost notes on the snare afterwards are fucking insane!
Dirk’s single pedal footwork is incredible
Drum roll at 1:05 is one of my all time favorite moments in any metal song.
Check out a band called PUNGENT STENCH
who cares
@@miervenzo9687 Clearly you did since you had to comment
the best drummer for Megadeth now.
@@miervenzo9687 I do
Dirk is the man. Playing this song exactly like it should be lml
a barely open hi hat is missed though, but I love it and I think megadeth needs this kind of vibe... he plays a lot like gar...
But you have to let props to Gar, as he played it asleep :D :D :D
Gar didn't play it this good? No, he played it better. And so did Menza.
he even plays gar's ghost notes
This is what makes it for me. Those ghost notes drive the beats in the beginning and end of the song.
Best thing about the sickdrummermagazine is the double bass cam.
Finally, a 'Deth drummer who'll carry through on Gar Samuelson's fills @ 2:27.
With all due respect, even Nick Menza didn't play it like it should be.
@@sultankosmitov6293 Even Gar played the easier version live.
...and Dirk makes it look so effortless...
People don't realise how good he is, until they hear his best bits at Soilwork.
@@sultankosmitov6293 Im really looking forward to what he's gonna bring to the new album!
@@SnipinG1337 I'm beyond hyped, the man's a monster behind the kit, hopefully some tech-death esque stuff mixed in with the thrash sound
That run right at the 2:29 mark was some pretty impressive drumming
Love the different camera angles. Great song.
Dirk said this is his #1 fav song from Megadeth's catalog
dude is a very well rounded drummer who brings his own flare to all the bands he has played in
I love him, He can play any song past without taking away from past drummers, yet let out his own style at the same time.
Closest player to Gar that Megadeth has ever had, he even looks like him!
No he doesn't.
Sub Zero he probably means his body type
@@connors.1435 bruh dirk is wayy skinnier
And a way smaller. Gar was a tall man.
@@martinblackwhite Dirk is the tallest dude in the band right now
Dave Mustaine compares him to Gar Samuelson..hes right 💪
I am here to say that this live performance of Dave's solo is just one of the best... that pinch harmonic at 3:13 is perfect, so menacing and flows so well...
wow, this guy is the man. I love his drumming with Devin Townsend Project... fucking incredible
danszig mcbrain he played for Devin Townsend????
Emanuel Torres can confirm
Yeah, check out the song Juular from Deconstruction. It's one of his most impressive works with DTP
@@DavesPlace99 He still does
One of the best drummers i've ever heared in my life...
Lots of people thinking that this is below his talent level. Looks like he's having a blast rippin this classic thrash out.
Even If I'm beyond Megadeth's songs
I WOULD STILL SELL MY ASS to play this song and other with them live
Dirk is really REALLY talented and also lucky to play with a metal legend like Mustaine
@@nachocavallocarbonell1863 actually both are lucky for playing with each other :-)
@@geraldorodriguew3605 Both of them, yes
Mustaine mostly, Dirk is such a beast xd
It's not complicated for him to play his songs u know?
@@nachocavallocarbonell1863 yeah,it's easy for him
Sometimes the super technical playing gets stale and boring after a while and drummers need a break from it, this is a nice change up for them, but this song is no slouch shit either, especially when that double bass kicks in
2:29 to 2:33 beautiful drum run.
Great drummer and proving that Gar Samuelson was the greatest in Megadeth with every rendition of Peace Sells songs catalog.
EXACTLY! 80S DRUMMERS RULED
I love how he accents the cymbals, especially the hats, that's what makes this song groove so much.
Wow. I wish you’d put up more drum cam. Dirk is such a professional and so good. I have to say this version of the band is the best I’ve ever heard. All of them are on top of their game. Dang.
Flawless. Always go back to this vid. He knows! Beautiful Gar Samuelson's tribute. Respect!
incredible! just like gar, the only thing I miss a little is the barely open hi hat, but it sounds exactly as it should be! dirk is a beast, and it is exactly what megadeth needs atm, I am sure that jazzy feel will help the new album a whole lot
Gar produced some of he best drum tracks/ riffs in all thrash drumming. IMO of course
no doubt, if you want you can check out isolated kimb tracks of gars drums I did with AI on my channel
Lots of people doesn't know the real talent of Dirk Verbeuren. His drum session in Soilwork was on another level.
2:30 "Lars.exe has stopped working"
HAHAHA
Hahahahah
To be fair lars could probably play that. It's just 8th note triplets with the first hit of the triplet. He would probably never play it if he could but he probably could if he wanted to.
Alex Rooney nah
xDDDDDDD
Gar Samuelson was an absolute Genius ♥ R.I.P. ( No one could play this better than Dirk ! )
im so glad dirk is the drummer now.he puts the fire back in the song's .Im glad it was him that was asked to stay.
I love the style and the way he drums!!!
The thing i love os how the guitar and the drums complement each other. Like the drums accenting certain guitar parts. I love some of the early Megadeth stuff
randy burns interview will mention how they recorded and played over gars tracks that was done first
the different tuning makes me feel uncomfortable when hearing all these old Megadeth songs.....hmm
Furreal
Well go cry in the corner then you little bitch
@@subzero8679 damn lmao
Awe maybe you should go hide in your pillow fort. Damn pussy
Me too😔😔😕 they need to tune up
His foot work is soooo cleeeaaannn!!1
Best Megadeth drummer since Nick Menza!

I don't see where you see a blast beat on that song
Always a pleasure to watch, thanks for another quality post.
Great drummer, but this hi-hat so distant makes me nervous
Renato Mendes hahahahahha
Renato Mendes same lol
I bet their sound engenieer is happy as fuck about it.
The distance is to stop the snare mic from picking up the hi-hat. Or at least minimize it.
Thanks, man!
Rock them drums !!!!! Awesome sound 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼
Dirk is going to be so underutilized in Megadeth.
let's see in a few months, I hope you will be wrong
From what I've heard, I don't think so 😉
But that's all personal opinion
Okay buddy
Dirk is the man. Since Gar Samuelson left the band, his drum parts have never been played so well.
Dirk's style reminds me a lot of Gar's. Can't wait for their next album.
Dirk is a badass drummer. Nailing Gar Samuelson spot on isn't easy
lol. those fills are fuckin easy.
dirk could do this shit in his sleep.
Dirk was a great addition to Megadeth...love it!!!
Nick and Gar are my favorite drummers,but this guy rocks as well!
I like seeing dirk enjoying himself playing this this is just a blast to playthrough brings a grin to my face whenever i here the drum parts to this song or even the whole song altogether
Dave finally found the right drummer.... I just wish they could do a reunion with Marty. Nothing against Kiko, but Marty is legendary.
Gilitar Fuck Marty! Great and all as he was in Megadeth he fucked off to Japan to ride little Japanese school lads!
Dave doesn't deserve Dirk. I can only hope Dave proves me wrong and he let's Dirk shine on the new material.
That's a fucking horrible thing to say, Marty Friedman moved to Japan because he loves the culture, and now he's a celebrity there. I think he did pretty well for himself after Megadeth.
Gilitar man ... stop living in the past, Marty moved to japan and he is living his life , Kiko is doing a kickass job playing the old stuff and Dystopia is awesome
Gilitar I agree.
We will grow older and we will listen to Dirk for a long time.
Qué delicia escuchar a Dirk! Gar seguro estaría muy feliz de saber que tocan exquisitamente bien su batería. Un abrazo 🤗 ♥!
When a drummer is headbanging while playing then the song is definitely perfect.
Great Dirk, you already know the "colorin". Incredible drummer
What a snare sound! I wish there were a microphone underneath so we could hear the full body of it opposed to just the top head tone
Don't get me wrong,..Nick took the band to the next level and I was blessed to know him...but Gar was a whole different kind of monster and I learned so much from him and Dirk reminds me of Gar alot....just amazing
Dirk is ON POINT. He's perfect for them, matches the technical level
he plays it just like gar, amazing
this must be my very favorite megadeth song
Derk is just a sick drummer! He sheds! I am Very happy I got to see Megadeth live on the last tour with him and Kiko!
aaaahhh... gar samuelson :(

2:29 shit, that's impressive. Not even Nick did that.
It was a cool ass lick. But dont act like Nick couldnt play that. And keep in mind, plenty of stuff Nick did that Dirk doesnt.
He did say 'not even', thus acknowledging Nick was still good.
If you listen carefully Gar did it in 1986. You can find the drumtrack here on you tube!

Is that Tony Laureano as a drum tech ?
drumsmarcello yes
Skeletal33 damn
Im excited to see what kind of drum parts he'll write on their next album if they make one.
I love how Dirk can nail everything so good, it just seems he's a little under utilized in Megadeth.
Well, he doesnt play this song as well as Nick or Gar, so maybe that'd be a start before you start calling him overqualified lol
A little?
well, he doesnt overplay at least but i would like to see him doing some of his own fills, like degrasso
People complain when someone plays it like the record, people complain when someone adds their own touches, people are hard, people are shit.
beautifully shot!
pegada monstra👏👊
he plays it gars way with the snare rolls :-D great job
so fucking sick.
