Dirk, you're a monster drummer. The best acquisitions for Megadeth were you and Kiko. You both gave to the band a new breath, for sure! Much respect!!!
Dave sure knows how to pick them right:-), they are both amazing:-), and Dave is just being Dave, always epic, and James Lomenzo perfect pick to come back🙂
I love hearing drum isolation tracks and live drum cams like this. It's especially fun comparing Nick, Gar and Dirk. Gar was all ghost notes, dynamic variations and jazz-tastefulness with an angry edge. Nick just had this furious, mechanical aggression. And Dirk is loose, relaxed and has this tendency to add just one more note where you wouldn't think one could fit. Beautiful stuff.
Thank god some of you top drummers are starting to use drum cams!!! If I would have been offered the option at any show to be front row or stand behind the drummer I would pick the drummer everytime! That's something I've always wanted because for me that's were the whole show is. My wish is finally becoming a reality with some bands. Thank you so much!
@@dcmastermindfirst9418 death metal isn't necessarily more difficult than thrash metal. Dirk said himself that several Megadeth songs are difficult to play, especially those that Gar played on
Spotless performance, a pleasure for the eyes and ears. We are fortunate to have so much footage from great performers like yourself. Thanks for posting.
Loved it! Dirk brought Megadeth back to life! Dirk, any chance to see you playing Late for the Kill, Early for the Slaughter? The drums from this music are sooooooooo amazing!!!
Gar, Nick and Dirk always upgraded every songs in live performance. Shawn always simplifies everything, cant even play the mid tempo songs they way it should.
@@jaredhill1442 I'm a huge fan of dirk and his work in soilwork, sybreed, bent sea, hespera, naglfar, etc. but what if Dirk really loves megadeth and what if he is really happy playing this stuff ? maybe THAT has nothing to do with money....
As A Megadeth Fan I Can Honestly Say This Guy Is A Monster 🥁🤘 So Lucky To Have Him It's Something Special To Watch Him Play 😮🥁 Really Hope I Can Get To See Megadeth At Least One Last Time ❤
This may not be your cup of tea, but Dirk played drums on one of my favorite artists albums of all time. Devin Townsend - Deconstruction. The album could be a hard first listen, but if you listen to the drums of the songs he played on, they're very unique and memorable! If you decide to listen to a song or two: Juular, Deconstruction (awesome song, but it's a mess. Listen at the end for some amazing vocals though) or The Mighty Mastubator. Again, these songs are not for everyone, but I love them to death, and Dirk played like a friggen beast! Amazing drummer!
You're the man Dirk. Your faithful renditions of Nick and Gar's parts always bring a smile to the face. I was also most impressed with your interpretations of Reinert, Hoglan, and Christy's drum parts at the Chuck Schuldiner tribute show. You were especially accurate on the _Human_ songs which was awesome as Reinert improvised a great amount of that. Keep up the amazing work sir, and never stop smiling that Dirk Smile while blasting the Dirk Blast. 🥁
Dirk, if you can, try to get Mustaine to vary the set list even a little. But a true variation, with tracks from so many completely forgotten records of Megadeth's mid-modern era. Fans from all countries repeat that the classics are already saturating and no one is going to miss them, at least for a while after they have repeated them so much.
Nice! We generally think about the guitar solos on this song, but it is also a great drum song and the bass has some good runs in there too. You did a great job of highlighting that. Great job on the stick change too! It was seamless.
In an interview, i've read that some day he has ben watching Megadeth live in a festival but now he's a member of the band, that why he's playing with passion. Great drummer btw...
Great fan of you Dirk. The Dirk blast is awesome to practice . Sorry for my english, i am a french speaker from Quebec. Could you put online the same video of tornado of souls within the drum cam, but i would love to hear the mix in your headset during this song. Everything you have; Clic and how you setup/balance all the instruments while you play. 🤟🏼. Respect Mæstro 🙌🏼
its immensley fun to know where in the song one is just by listening to the distinct drumming , i think you are probably the top three drummers they have had up there with gar and nick
1:36 FUCKING PHAT!!!!!!!!!!!!! HOW FUCKING COOL. This is genuinely one of the best songs ever written. Thank you for the drum cams. I hope to see you play one day!
@@darkriff777 I doubt Mustaine would bug about double bass (*cough thrash metal*). Also Dirk has definitely thought about adding it there too ☠️. He’s the GOAT.
@@rockstarme1020 No, Dave is anal about things being played a certain way. He gets irritated if he sees Kiko using alternate picking on a downpick part.

Gar and nick will always be megadeth best drummers
Dirk is an incredible drummer.
No better than the late Nick and of course creator of drums for RiP, but surely one of the best drummers Megadeth has had
Asking Dirk to play this is like asking Hulk to kill the mosquito
looool
Was just thinking this sort of thing as well lol hes having fun and getting paid but man, his skills FAR surpass anything MD is going to ask of him.
He can do plenty of side projects to do his stuff, MD pays the bills 😊
MD is making him rich🤑💪
@@anpinvest3121his skills is making him rich. He is steady as a rock…
Band is killing it.
I'm seeing them tonight, fuckin pumped
Enjoy it!
@@nategin9009 you Bugger , enjoy ,,, Mission to Mars ..
4:16 super amazing skill...changing stick...salute 👏👏🤘
i was at this show and it felt good to see that even the pros drop sticks.. but he recovered way faster than i can lol
@@djrenault he threw it away because it was broken and didn't have a good sound
This guy is crazy good ❤

Absolutely a masterpiece and Dirk, you do it proud!
Beast!
This song is not only a solo, the work done by Mensa was so cool. Goooood job. With power
Lol Dirk is a death metal drummer.
Thrash is easy as fuk to play for him
@@dcmastermindfirst9418 death metal isn't necessarily more difficult than thrash metal. Dirk said himself that several Megadeth songs are difficult to play, especially those that Gar played on
@somethingelse04 I find that hard to believe.
Dirk is much more skilled than the Megadeth drummers before him.
Not even Menza could touch Dirk or Gar.
Awe, honey. Blah, blah. 🤡💩
Spotless performance, a pleasure for the eyes and ears. We are fortunate to have so much footage from great performers like yourself. Thanks for posting.
Hell yeah! We need drumcams of the whole show/setlist🤘🏻
Always professional, top notch.
Incredible drummer ... perfect fit ... changed a stick without missing a beat. Rock on Dirk !!!!!
This dude is one of the best!!
Dirk, totally awesome performance as per usual!
And this is why Dirk was the best choice for Megadeth 🤘🏻
Nice video man. I’ve loved you since you’ve been in Megadeth. I love your drumming.
Watching Dirk keeps me inspired to practice drums every chance I get.

Thanks for today's drum lesson Dirk ✌️🤘🏴☠️🇦🇺
Brilliant🎉🎉🎉
It gives you a different perspective of how great this whole band is and how hard the Dirk has to work but he loves it
If you know anything about Dirk, this is like playing nursery rhymes. The guy is a beast and is way too good for this band. But money talks

You are the best Dirk!!!!
Nope he is not. He certainly is high up there, but there are tons of professional drummers way beyiond his level. Just to name one: Gavin Harrison.
@@dxb8086 okay bro chill

I'd love to see you play Night Stalkers live!
Dirk is the best, technique, touch, rhythmic, freshness. I remain hypnotized to watch him🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
So friggin cool to see these live drum cams! I wish more bands did this 🤘
Thank you for not over playing the song. A lot of drummers try to throw a lot of flashy stuff to stand out from the original. You play it just right.
That’s because he is an AI robot
It looks so easy... Good job Dirk 💪👍🙏😊
Excellent
What a BEAST…🙏🏻
I subscribed Bro. You are an absolute legend
That ride cymbal is brutal! Lovely sound
Dirk, those toms sound killer!!! 👍
this was sick normally im so focused on the guitar for this song great to see this !
Thanks Dirk well played!!! I'd love to see you do a drum solo at the shows! 👋🖤🦋🖤⚡️🥁⚡️
Perfect, Congratulations 👏👏👏

Did u think even for a second that maybe dave can't sing other songs??
Do you think even for a second that I don't want to hear Tornado of Souls every fucking time I see Megadeth!??!??!
Pro bands dont do that cause they play a hundred of shows per year.
@@khall187 they don't give a shit what u want to hear
😂 youre talking about mustaine the dictator its his way or no way thats why megadeth has beena revolving door since its formation
The best drummer in the world right now. You crushed it in Melbourne!
lol
Dirk god🙏🛐
Bravo Dirk!! 👏
That was so clean bro.
Nice job!
Amazing 👽👏

that was a pro-level recovery on that busted stick......your timing is impeccable as usual....
suprise: he's a professional drummer
@@Retfie719 And they are also using a metronome.
@@Retfie719 Surprize: it's not a big deal to draw a fresh stick and keeo going. Every drummer does that.
@@dxb8086 textbook strawman, boy. get a grip
@@dxb8086 so then what's the pro level, pop?
1:36 FUCKING PHAT!!!!!!!!!!!!! HOW FUCKING COOL. This is genuinely one of the best songs ever written.
Thank you for the drum cams. I hope to see you play one day!
I really love the change in energy the switch from the hat to the bell makes
The Best!
thanks for sharing Dirk, best seat in the house
Those toms are singing loud!
Dirk what if you added double bass at 4:58. That would be hype.
Mustaine wouldn’t let him do it.
Dave wants to preserve the drum parts the way they were done as best as the drummer is able to.

Great drumming
