Dirk is a great drummer. And a super humble guy. I remember when I had recorded one of the songs for the new Megadeth production and I had sent it to him by message. And he quickly replied that he liked it. Truly an excellent drummer and super humble. My respects to Dirk and to you too 66 Samus.👍🤟🎼🥁🎼🤟👍
I had the privilege of getting lessons from Dirk shortly before he joined Megadeth, I gotta say not only is he a world class drummer, but he's a world class dude. Friendly, helpful, and really chill.
It's amazing how much the drumming can change the whole feel of the song, almost sounds like it belongs to a different genre. Makes you realize how much each member of the band contributes to a specific sound and style. Lotsa love Samus 🤘🏼
I thought my intestines had a catastrophic failure or something. I didn't even know my headphones could do that. If it wasn't a Samus video I would have been looking around my house for what just sh*t its pants.
Ever so grateful for you @66Samus as your feedback videos introduced me to drumeo. I am a huge fan of all music, and although i cannot play drums, i have always upheld the highest respect for the drums. Drumeo and this series has pulled me through cancer and helped me occupy my mind when my body was failing. Having that said, I must give Dirk the highest praises for this performance- such a technical drummer and clearly a perfectionist. i love how he matches the energy of the song, his builds, timing, doesnt overplay the harmony- keeps with the tempo and what really needs praise is how he pushed his fills towards the end and married them with the double base- truely epic! I would love to have his version on my playlist
So sorry that you're going through cancer but so glad that you can rely on the music. My wife went through her own battle a number of years ago and is doing great. I hope the same for you. Strength and peace to you!
I absolutely love Dirk as a human (from the little I’ve seen him in a public setting) and his interpretation of this song kind of reflects what I love about him. I’m so happy you reacted to it and hope you react to his other challenge 🤘
Dirk is one badass drummer. Not only did he play for soilwork, Devin Townsend and now, Megadeth. He also played for Powermad.. one of thrash metals underrated bands IMO. And if I'm not mistaken he's on their latest album too. He also was in a band called Cadaver. Another killer metal band that you don't hear much about. I was fortunate enough to see Dirk play just last night here in Cincinnati Ohio. And he just devastated his drumkit like he was never gonna play again. It was amazing man. He's definitely in my top ten favorite drummers. You're on that top ten favorites list too Sam.. 🤘🤘 Keep up the amazing work man..
These "drummer hears song for fist time" drumeo videos have been popping up in my feed forever, glad I finally watched one. I'm gonna watch all of these now that I get what they are. Good stuff. Yerrrrrr
I just appreciate how when Samus reacts to things, he is ACTUALLY reacting to what is being watched, and not just the typical smile and nod for a full video others tend to do
Dirk's drumming on Jeff Loomis's solo work was amazing. I saw a gig in RVA where he played a Loomis set and then played a Soilworks set right after as the headliner. I never seen a drummer play in 2 bands on the same night. He's a great dude as well from what I can tell... I wish him the best... @66Samus... 22! You're awesome too man!
This Dirk video is one of my favorite things. Everything about it is so dang wonderful. And yeah, your Drumeo video is stellar, too -- and I'd love seeing a reaction to it. The vocal bits you did were badass!
I was lucky enough to go to the NAMM show at the start of the year & I was at the metal masters awards & I was chatting to Dirk briefly about this. He was so surprised at the amount of attention this got & I was like “why it’s fucking awesome” I bumped into the drumeo guys as well. They were really nice fellas.
He completely changed the feel of the song, but it still sounds great. Since you've reacted to this, now, you should react to his other Drumeo video where he hears "Misery Business" by Paramore for the first time. He crushes that one, too.
OH MAN.... I love how he played to this song. if I didn't care for the song in the first place, this drumming to it would have me enjoying the song for that aspect alone. so good.
What I love about Dirk's version of it is he shows just how much a mood of a song can change by a simple change such as the drum beat being in half-time vs regular time and what have you. It's so cool! And it works!!!
Dirk is so insanely good. If you are a metal fan and have not heard the album The Panic Broadcast by Soilwork, do yourself a favor and listen to some of the best metal drumming ever recorded. My favorite band of all time.
Samus you brighten my day every time you come out with a video. From testing different kits to just straight up clashin out, to the point where Drumeo asked you to come out and show your skill. You have this personality that fuckin screams, "I'm a fuckin badass with a pair of sticks in my hands!!!" Always remember, brother...STAY YOU, STAY CLASSY!!!! And aslo, SEEEEX!!!
I watch these drumeo videos and I am always amazed at how guys like Dirk and Samus (and others) are able to improvise entire drum parts for a song they've never heard before. It takes a very broad percussive vocabulary to pull that off well. I like it 🙂
I really dug his version, maybe even more than the original loved the accents he made in the slower sections, increadibly tastefull and then comming over the top of that with the double bass really lifts the dynamics thru the entire song
The mixing in these drumeo videos is always fantastic. Drums always sound so good! Would love to see a reaction to your own video. For some background information and stuff!
This guy is way better for megadeth than that last emotionless session robot they had before. But no one will ever replace the feel of Legendary Nick Mena! rip
This video is really cool. It show's how practice and methodology lead to incredible playing. Good work on Dirk's part. It might be sort of a weird meta kind of thing, but I truly would love to see your reaction to Dave Weckl's playthrough of Island Magic.
Dirk's drumming with Soilwork was phenomenal and had a huge impact in my playing style. Blind Eye Halo had me like "how can you play so fast and groove at the same time?!"
It's always interesting to see metal drummers do pop songs. The seem to cue mainly off of the other instruments rather than off the vocals like you'd hear in most pop music, including this song.
I've been a fan of his for a while. First time I heard of him was on Devin Townsend's Deconstruction. Pandemic is a real showing of what Dirk can do. My God the blast beats are insane. I've never seen anyone even try to attempt to cover it (hint, hint, Samus). I really like Dirk's version of Mr. Brightside. The half time in the versus gave it a really cool vibe. I loved it, maybe better than the original, and I liked the original a lot.

I just found this video. Big Killers fan. Now I think i'll be into Megadeath more he was spot on
Thank you boss! You rule!!
NO U!!!
@@66Samus Samus and Dirk? My cav can't contain my excitement. Oh yurr.
Dirk is hands down the best drummer worldwide. The Michaelangelo of drums.
🤘

That is what I was thinking, the whole tempo seemed so much slower just with his drumming even though the rest if the sing was the exact same
1:46 that fart scared the shit out of me
fr i have open back studio headphones i swear that legit sounded like someone actually put their ass up to my ears and farted.. jeez
I was literally reading this right as the fart happened! It scared the shit out of me too! 🤣
@@DarkSwam56i got that 8d fart experience
ME TOO BRO WTF
I thought my intestines had a catastrophic failure or something. I didn't even know my headphones could do that. If it wasn't a Samus video I would have been looking around my house for what just sh*t its pants.
the drummer really decides the mood of any song it's crazy !
Probably my favorite episode of this Drumeo challenge. It sounded completely different, yet made perfect sense.

Now we need the reaction to Dirk playing Paramore! You are awesome Samus! Big hug from Uruguay!
☺️😉🤗 from USA 🇺🇸
🤮🤮
I love the fact he brought in his entire huge metal kit just to play.... *Mr Brightside*
😂😂😂
I absolutely love Dirk as a human (from the little I’ve seen him in a public setting) and his interpretation of this song kind of reflects what I love about him. I’m so happy you reacted to it and hope you react to his other challenge 🤘
I caught Dirk’s drumstick at a Soilwork concert when I was a teenager and it’s one of my prized possessions. He’s fuckin awesome!
I just caught one of his sticks at a Megadeth show a few days ago. Top 5 best things I own
4:04 I love this song two and for some people its hard pill to swallow... JUST LISTEN THE MUSIC WHAT YOU LIKE!! Metal is not only genre in the world
Dirk is one badass drummer. Not only did he play for soilwork, Devin Townsend and now, Megadeth. He also played for Powermad.. one of thrash metals underrated bands IMO.

Keep up the amazing work man..
Sadly, he won't be in Megadeth long.
Mustaine has a way of alienating the people who he hires to be in his band.
I love how Dirk smiles everytime he talks 😊 you can tell hes a genuinely happy guy all of the time!! Andddd hes super talented!!

why did u shit urself at 1:46 💀
You must be new here.
welcome :) :) :)
I've been losing it over this it's so funny
Saw Megadeth back in June, and out of all of them, Dirk seemed to be having to most fun. What a nice fella, and great drummer🤘😁
Dirk is one of my favorite drummers and favorite human beings. The real Mr Brightside, always being so happy and positive.
Dirk is awesome

This is my favorite version of Mr brightside
For a heavy metal drummer, this was actually super chilly!
I absolutely loved Dirk's drumming for Soilwork. One of my all-time favourite bands and he's my favourite drummer of theirs.
Dirk had an excellent take on the drums for this song. Love me some Mr. Brightside.
This Dirk video is one of my favorite things. Everything about it is so dang wonderful. And yeah, your Drumeo video is stellar, too -- and I'd love seeing a reaction to it. The vocal bits you did were badass!
Dirk is a very underrated drummer
What a treat! You & Dirk are awesome dudes

He was so surprised at the amount of attention this got & I was like “why it’s fucking awesome” I bumped into the drumeo guys as well. They were really nice fellas.
Dirk was my teacher in 2001 when I was at the Nancy’s Music Academy International. Suck a nice guy and fantastic drummer !!! Thx for the video !
He completely changed the feel of the song, but it still sounds great. Since you've reacted to this, now, you should react to his other Drumeo video where he hears "Misery Business" by Paramore for the first time. He crushes that one, too.
OH MAN.... I love how he played to this song. if I didn't care for the song in the first place, this drumming to it would have me enjoying the song for that aspect alone. so good.
The tempo change seems to put a more heartful tone to this song. Unreal. I love it.
Dirk is awesome, no doubt about it.
What I love about Dirk's version of it is he shows just how much a mood of a song can change by a simple change such as the drum beat being in half-time vs regular time and what have you. It's so cool! And it works!!!
Congrats on your way to almost 1 mil!
It sounds even better than the original. Simply amazing!
Dirk’s videos are some of my favorites on Drumeo. Not only is he incredibly talented but he just seems like such a great guy as well.
I have been waiting this video for sooo long 😍
The farts caught me off guard. Me and my girl were laughing our asses off
I come here just for the farts only! 😂
This video went nuclear viral for Drumeo as well
That Dave Mustaine pic 0:22 is WILD! - Lol
Scary!
Note the smiley faces on his knees
LOL
Dirk is such an amazing guy and a great drummer, been watching his stuff since Aborted
Dirk is a monster on the kit, and that kit can we please just notice how that kit is ....Jesus
My wife just pointed out that Dirk is literally Metal Richard Hammond, and now I can't unsee it
7:23 Dirk was so good that turned bro into PS1 Hagrid for a moment 💀
LMAO
Dirk is the man
Dirk is so insanely good. If you are a metal fan and have not heard the album The Panic Broadcast by Soilwork, do yourself a favor and listen to some of the best metal drumming ever recorded. My favorite band of all time.
Late to the party on this, but thank you, love you and your channel!!
Devin Townsend produced my favorite Soilwork album, no wonder Devin hired him for his band.
Dirk only join at Stabbing the Drama, Henry Ranta was the drummer for Natural Born Chaos
@@maxime_simard I thought maybe Devin helped co produce Sworn to a Great Divide as well, which Dirk was on. I might be wrong though😊
Samus you brighten my day every time you come out with a video. From testing different kits to just straight up clashin out, to the point where Drumeo asked you to come out and show your skill. You have this personality that fuckin screams, "I'm a fuckin badass with a pair of sticks in my hands!!!" Always remember, brother...STAY YOU, STAY CLASSY!!!! And aslo, SEEEEX!!!

Dirk is a treasure.
I love those Meinl darks!
Awesome, he changed the song big time ❤
Dirk's awesome - he has been a steady session drummer for The Project Hate MCMXCIX for many albums - puts him among my favourite drummers.
I loved this when it came out
the farts.... i´m crying 🤣 adding dirk saying sounds like something I might have heard before and then comes the fart at 1:46 is hilarious
Dirk is so friggen good, idk if there's anything they could stump him with.
I love me some Dirk...he is such a nice friendly humble being...
Hell yeah, Soilwork! And Dirk's stuff with Bjorn and David *RIP* and co was brilliant!
Also, Gregg Bisonette's recent video was REALLY entertaining.
Send like a very humble, cool dude. Thanks Samus for introducing me to another drummer worthy of praise. 👍🤘
"solid as shit"... this is why we love @66Samus. Such a funny chap, aren't cha? 😂
I’ve been WAITING SO PATIENTLY for this one! Oh yurrr!
I loved watching this one, Dirk killed it with this one and his drum part was so damn cool as well
Yeah, I should’ve subbed long ago.
Subbed 🤘🏻
Such a great version. Always felt this song was so upbeat and happy despite the lyrics. Now it feels so wistful and regretful.
god fucking dammit samus the one time im wearing open back headphones and you put the worlds most 8D fart sound in the video lmfao
Do more please plz 😂😂😂
Dirk=Mr. Solidside
I really dug his version, maybe even more than the original
loved the accents he made in the slower sections, increadibly tastefull
and then comming over the top of that with the double bass really lifts the dynamics thru the entire song

After that second fart....I had to subscribe.
Just awesome
Agree, song is amazing
He Burned it, love it. This Man's fills were outrageous but overall Groove was amazing.
I love this music but Dirk take it to another level!!!!! Just in love with this Dirrk's version
Just saw him last week. Still incredible and Megadeth was still really tight.
This video is really cool. It show's how practice and methodology lead to incredible playing. Good work on Dirk's part.
It might be sort of a weird meta kind of thing, but I truly would love to see your reaction to Dave Weckl's playthrough of Island Magic.
Dirk's drumming with Soilwork was phenomenal and had a huge impact in my playing style. Blind Eye Halo had me like "how can you play so fast and groove at the same time?!"
They also had him do misery business by paramore if i remember correctly
Gotta do that drumeo Rush video!
Great drummer!!
Thanks Samus for the reaction. Dirk is not getting enough attention he deserve
Legendary version by Dirk
Shout out to Alex Melton's version of Mr. Brightside where the drums are half time for the whole song!
Samus reacting to his long lost twin brotha
The one take videos like this are super impressive. Which is another reason we need a reaction to the zeppelin one.
Oh yuuur
I had to go back and re-listen to the fart at 1:46 to make sure my wife didn’t shit herself while sleeping😂
It's always interesting to see metal drummers do pop songs. The seem to cue mainly off of the other instruments rather than off the vocals like you'd hear in most pop music, including this song.
METAL drummers make everything better!
Ah, at last, a Belgian drummer. And a very good one too. Check out also the Belgian band Brutus with Stefanie as a drummer.
Hey Samus love your stuff
It’s like he’s played this for years🤘✊🙌🎶🥁🎧🎵
I got to take my son to his first concert last night. I think Megadeth has a new 13 year old fan. They kicked ass!
The halftime is badass in this. Lots of great fills, too
Dirk’s Soilworks drumming is OP
I've been a fan of his for a while. First time I heard of him was on Devin Townsend's Deconstruction. Pandemic is a real showing of what Dirk can do. My God the blast beats are insane.
