he is one of the best drummers out there. I saw him w soilwork on ozzfest in 05. he was miles above every other drummer there. his speed and precision is amazing, he also grooves hard. I'll never forget his performance. it's forever engraved in my brain.
I've always really loved Dirk's playing, definitely one of the most badass metal drummers and he just seems like a nice guy as well. Stay awesome, Dirk, and much love from Canada
Those new clip on mics everyone uses to block out exterior sound sound so weird. The lav mics sounded way more natural . I saw a Chad Smith rundown by his tech and it was obviously a noisy stage but it sounded like the tech was in an iso booth. It takes you out of it.
I've commented on this in other MD clips but David REALLY needs to hone his interview technique. Don't know if its nervousness or excitement, but his habit of constantly interrupting his interview subjects is hellAciously annoying for the listener.
Or maybe they’re under extreme time constraints and he’s trying to get as much information out as possible?? Having worked backline I can tell you that there’s hardly any time available to have the techs and artists together for such interviews. Opening acts, sound checks, pyro tests etc and it’s a miracle that we get any such rundowns. Just hit like and enjoy the free video man.
@ I hear you bro. I come from a journalism background so that’s what I hone in on. That fact that it’s free has little bearing on what I’m referring to. That being said, I’m SUPER jazzed to see that dirk finally brought his main HH stand into his own zip code!
This is not a Modern Drummer problem but an everyone problem it seems - when it's just an interview and the camera guy is going left to right and back and forth constantly. I know it's for all he ADHD people but It's so annoying. It's just a chat its not a music video. Flame On I Guess...

Great player with zero ego.
Thank you Modern Drummer! And everyone who took the time to check this out!
Love your vibes man, and playing and congrats on all your success 👍
Dirk exudes the good humor and humility that is what drumming should be about. 🤘
Dirk is a pure soul.
Indeed
Dirk is the perfect drummer for Megadeth. His playing is incredible night after night.
This guy is an absolute monster behind the kit.
Love that guy! So humble.
You just gotta love this guy. Such a nice person, and a fantastic drummer.

Best drummer Megadeth ever had. Gar and Nick were amazing but I would not imagine them playing Devin Townsend’s Deconstruction on a live set.
shout out to OZZY!
you need to feature the drum techs during these interviews.
they are a part of the kits too!
Megadirk 👍 🤘 awesome drummer prefect for Megadeth.
Great job; hard work and all!

Such a nice guy!
Dirk is king. Seems like a really nice guy.
Such a nice guy and a hell of a drummer! Great rig, just perfect for that music!

Is the stereo panning on the speaking audio flipped or am I having an acid flashback lmao
The "stereo" mics of each of you..........is reversed :P

Proper posture and technique would have helped with that!
shallower snares are louder than deep snares. deep snares are slow and have poor crack. for fast metal music, shallow snare is better.
Love his style and his drums but i do not like the Meinl dark series much.

I love how the hi hats and ride aren’t close to the snare! Rides front and close are lame
Why is that?
Good for sound separation@@tcr4451
Imagine playing a setup that's comfortable for you, so lame 🤦♂️
cool drummer but terrible tone and mix...in the red high-end... blew out my ear drums in a bad way.
First comment!
how does it feel being so special? Whens youtube going to send you a medal for being first?
You bet @@halodude539
U can tell your grand kids one proud day!
amazing - be sure to add this to your resume accomplishments
I've got that cookie you've always wanted! 😃
